Okay, I'm looking at a few options here. Which one interests you the most?

1. Adding two or more internal SATA-II connections.
2. Adding one internal SATA-II, and one e-SATA external connection.

On one computer, I have a card with one internal SATA, one internal IDE, and one eSATA -- I wanted that eSATA. However, on another computer, I have four extra internal SATA's, there was no need for external -- I just use USB2 on that system, if needed (and it's almost never needed).

Which scenario strikes your fancy the most? All internal, or less internal at the bonus of an external?

Note that eSATA drives cost more than Firewire or USB drives. If you have Firewire, then that suffices for most video work -- my eSATA needs are due to loading raw DSLR images quickly, and using an external RAID-1 drives that I can take on-site to events.
