Product Description
Expand your exisiting computer to support eSATA or SATA external enclosures to speed up the transfer rate up to 3.0 Gbps. Our eSATA expansion card allows you to easily connect eSATA products to any PCIe equipped computers, including Windows (32 or 64 bit), Mac OS X, and Linux computers. Since some of external hard drives (or external enclosures) are externally equiped an internal SATA connector, this card also provides you an internal SATA for convenience. You may hook it to a SATA hard drive directly. The card also provides an IDE connector for those who would like to add PATA/IDE drives.

A search for JMicron JMB363 Drivers lead me to the following links

http://www.jmicron.com/Driver.htm

You can try this driver - JMB36X_WinDrv_R1.17.62_WHQL_eSATA from this download location - driver.jmicron.com.tw

That looks like a good addon. I found a similar one that goes into a mini PCI slot (usually wireless network card connection), and converts it into 2 USB 3.0 ports. It would be a good addon for my desktop, just to improve backup speeds. Here it is.

I don't need the built in wireless on my desktop, as it's the "G" type, and I have a few of the USB "N" type adapters laying around that's a lot faster.

That's shaping up to be a decent computer you're building there, 945. Hopefully it will serve you well.

Well, you really don't need to worry too much about the driver issue as Windows 7 will automatically load drivers for that card. Maybe not the most current, but it will load them. You can preload them during the install process too at the screen that shows the drive and partitions.

Thanks, I’ll go to this site PCI Express Host Controller Card for eSATA II + SATA + PATA (Windows, Mac or Linux) and read up on this and I know I’ll want to try it just to see how it works
I’ll have to check driver manager and see where this is.

It simply provides an external SATA and an eSATA plug, primarily used for external Harddrives. I use the eSATA connection to/from my Thermaltake BlacX because it theoretically provides speeds up to 6 times faster than the USB connection, though in reality it is still limited to the speed of the harddrive.

The controller is in the "Storage Controllers" listing of the Device Manger component tree.

I went to the device Manager but I don't see any storage controller, I attached a snip of what is in my device manager.

If you haven't installed the card yet and it's respective driver then it won't show up in Device Manager.

thanks, sorry it took so long to reply, I've been very busy, the attached thumbnail I posted has the card installed and I'll try installing the driver clifford posted and see if it shows up.
