I'm confused, and the XFX website pictures did not help. I see that your mobo supports 6 SATA ports and an eSATA one. But you indicate that you can only find port connectors for 2, not 6, and hence are using only 2 SATA devices now. When I look at the photo of this board on the Newegg website I see four SATA connectors in black near the right-hand edge, between the RAM slots and the PATA and floppy drive connectors. (By the way, I'm assuming the board is viewed when turned so that the CPU and RAM slots are at the top, and the exposed back connectors on the upper left.) There is one red SATA connector near the left edge right beside one of the two black PCIx1 connectors - maybe this is the eSATA port? I'm not sure where the other two SATA ports are, unless they are in what looks like a small stack at the bottom right edge near the 2-digit LED numeric display.
