I've been trawling through boards with an e-SATA port on the back panel,
rather than a e-SATA pin header that goes to a 'blank' backplate - if you
see what I mean,
and I've been ogling :-
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=2268&l1=3&l2=149&l3=643&l4=0
....which specifies :-
Chipset
1 xUltraDMA 133/100
5 x SATA 3Gb/s ports (Use SATA1-3 for IDE mode.)
NVIDIA® MediaShieldT Chipset built-in, , RAID 0,1,0+1,5, JBOD
....now, does this mean, (re: above board), that if I use 2 x IDE drives on
the single IDE port, that not all four SATA ports will be available ?
e.g. I have an Asrock AliveNF6G in my 2nd machine, with 2 drives connected
to the single IDE port, and four drives connected to the four SATA ports i.e
all 6 are working.
TIA,
regards, Richard
I suspect that

...with its' all solid capacitors, would be a better bet ...but, it's a lot
more expensive that the Asus I mentioned - above.
