Worked as advertised

Installed in '99 vintage PC. Getting the cable externally connected to the card was a little touchy, but when connected worked well.

Wow, fast and full featured

I often clone my entire C: for backup. The eSata connection allows faster backup than even a 2nd Sata harddrive in my machine - with similar hard drives connected. Of course, this is far, far faster than USB. On my machine, it does recognize devices attached to this card for booting.

cut to fit

Invisible external drive appeared (FINALY!) after cutting away case metal left of the card, so cord can fully insert. $0.05 shim under soldered connector is required to center it, but was somehow left out during factory assembly...weird and careless. Speed as fast as any vintage PCI slot could be.
