Hey,

I currently have the

ASUS G73JH-A1
and recently my desktop died. I have a few hard drives in there so I was thinking about getting an external multibay hard drive enclosure for the hard drives. However, I really don't want to use USB for all these hard drives and would much rather use eSata. Can anyone recommend a good eSata card for laptops? Also, how do I find out if my motherboard can support Port Multiplier? I read the manual but at no point is it ever mentioned.

Enclosure I'm thinking about getting for my other hard drives

Thanks!

And where do you anticipate putting this card?

I've got this laptop, no where to put an esata card.

Yeah it's probably the biggest drawback of this laptop, well besides it's size and weight.
