    Hard drive connectivity alternatives

     
    I am coming to the point where my SATA interfaces on my MB are all in use but I still need to add one or two more HDDs. I have an eSata on the back and of course USB 2.

    I could purchase a caddy rack and try and get one with an esata interface, but not sure if and esata would be as good as or equivalent to a USB 2.0

    What alternatives do I have?

    Esata is better then USB.

    You can get a SATA PCI Card to plug into the mobo.

    Switching to larger drives is something to consider.
