    eSATA issue


    Hi there

    I am currently using ASUS P5Q Motherboard and planning to install Windows 7 64bit Professional Edition onto my SATA hard drive. May I know do I need to install any driver from my motherboard web site, in order to make my Windows 7 sees or recognizes my external Hard Drive which is using eSATA interface ?

    Please kindly advise ASAP.

    Many thanks in advance.

    If you install all necessary drivers for your board you should have no problems with eSATA. W7 will happily work with ESATA devices I have connected two drives with no problem at all.

    ASUS list W7 64 Bit on their drivers page so you shouldn't have a problem.
