E Sata Pci Card Question!!!

I am new to the technology brought by esata pci cards. So I barely know anything about them and how they work. I mean I know what their external input is for [to attach external hard drives etc]. But here is a pci card I found on the net:

I noticed it has an internal port thing to plug a hard drive. Well at least that's what the description of the pci card says. Does that mean I can use this card to add another internal hard drive to my pc? Even though I use pata/ide hard drives with ntfs file system in my pc already and all of my hard drive slots are maxed out on my motherboard?

If so does this mean I can put this pci card on my motherboard and attach another internal sata hard drive [what would be the max size supported in GB], and than use it to coexist with my pata onboard drives??/??


Or am I thinking wrong? How will this work? I would like some info about these kinds of cards. I just don't get it.



Thanks

 

yes, it will add a single SATA port to the inside of your computer. The specification is eSATA II, which is the same speed as regular SATAI (150MB/s), and NOT SATA II (300MB/s). Not a huge issue, but i see where the confusion came from.

There should not be a size limitation, unless your motherboard and BIOS are very old, or you are trying to install an old OS.

Hope this helps
