FreeBSD 6.2 and ESATA

2007-12-10 Thread DSA - JCR
Hi all

I wonder to know if FreebSD 6.2 (I386) has drivers for ESATA (External
SATA): I haven't found anything about the item and I would like to use
ESATA in spite of USB Disks for backups because of its speed.

Thanks in advance

Sincerely

The only real difference between E-SATA and normal SATA is the physical
connector.  Any SATA controller-chip can be used for either normal SATA
or ESATA.  FreeBSD has drivers for many, but not all, SATA controllers and
thus FreeBSD supports many ESATA implemntations, but not all of them.
