\"\"<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, we showed you how to add a PCIe card to the Early ’09 Mac Pro. that’s cool and all, but what if all you need is a simple eSATA port? Sure, there’s some darn good PCIe cards out there that will provide eSATA connectivity, but what if you’re on a budget?<\/p>\n

For half the cost of the least expensive eSATA PCIe card, you can use Newer Technology’s eSATA Extender Cable Adapter<\/a> to re-route the spare optical drive’s SATA connection to the outside.<\/p>\n

It’s a straightforward installation, and when you’re done, you can enjoy a high-speed connection to your favorite eSATA device. If you don’t have one, I’d suggest the new Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2<\/a>. They’re pretty slick and<\/em> will take advantage of that new eSATA port’s speed.<\/p>\n

You can find the videos both on our Early ’09 Mac Pro Installation Video page<\/a>, as well as on our YouTube Channel<\/a>. While you’re there, feel free to drop a line or leave a comment to let us know how we’re doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
