Will: There is not an eSATA card that has been validated on a PE 2950 and in my experience in Technical support eSATA cards are known to cause BSOD errors.  I am not saying that you wont get one to work but it may cause issues and will lead to technical support requesting that you remove the card if issues arrise.  
Hi all, I want to install an eSATA bus on a PE2950 so that my client's backup tape drive can use it instead of USB.Can I install a normal PCI eSATA card? Or does it have to be a special one? Or can't it be done? When they got a tape drive, they got one with USB and eSATA. No other interface on it. Would prefer eSATA. Many thanks. Will
eSATA card for PE2950? PCI?
