    Sonnet E4P is a spectacular eSATA card that can support almost external eSATA chassis – everything from single drives to port multiplier chassis.

    I would also recommend the Sonnet, but have a look at the D400QR5 as it has integrated Raid5 serving fw400, 800, eSata, and USB. Even has a locking eSata port if you want to take a screw to it.
