Question : Problem: eSATA PCI Card at 3GB/Sec - Can anyone find one?

I'm looking for a PCI card (not pci-e x1) that will allow me to use an eSATA hard drive. Can anyone link me to one online? I don't care where, but I'd like something that isn't junk and that isn't 1.5GB/Sec. I've come across nothing like that out there.

Answer : Problem: eSATA PCI Card at 3GB/Sec - Can anyone find one?

You are going to run into a fundamental problem with PCI cards: the bus operates at 33MHz maximum and is 32 bits wide.  That means the maximum bandwidth is 1.056Gbit/sec, which isn't enough for SATA I.  You have to go with PCI-X or PCI-e in order to have enough headroom for SATA I, never mind SATA II.
