Great web page. I have a SC430 and wanted to connection external drives to it for use with eSATA. I looked on the diagram for the manual and it shows SATA0, SATA1, SATA2 and SATA3. Do you have any experience with using the additional SATA ports for eSTAT use? Are they active? Do they work? I ask because I don't see eSATA mentioned in the manuals for this server. Thanks! Hi.

I would update to the latest BIOS thought, as there are generally fixes and improvements. Travis Robert,
