works great in linuxOct 25, 2007
By Oliver
Works flawlessly in Linux with drivers in the mainline kernel. Once the right drivers are in the kernel (I compile my own...not sure whether or not they're in most prebuilt kernels), it just works when you put the card in. I get great transfer speeds with my 750GB Seagate FreeAgent. You need "Silicon Image 3124/3132 SATA support" and PCI-Express HotPlug support enabled (pciehp module). See http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ExpressCard for details.

It does what it says it does.Aug 30, 2007
By Zurcher
I have been using this card for about a year with a
Seagate 7200.10 320Gb SATA hard drive, in an AZIO Corp. external eSATA enclosure, and it has worked great for me.
This card greatly decreased wait time for me while video editing.
Also, I recently added another hard drive (same setup), and the card handles two at a time just great.
I have also used this card to run a DVD burner in eSATA, and it worked wonderfully as well.

All in all, there are not many cards out that do what this card does, and this card does its job well.

Not terribly reliable under Vista 64Feb 06, 2008
By Mark J. Minasi
Perhaps it's because I'm running Vista 64, but SIIG CLAIMs they support that OS... and this product just doesn't, not very well.

I have five external drives with e-SATA interfaces, and only two work with this board. Additionally, it's sort of "tempermental," and I often have to unplug and replug the e-SATA cable into it several times before my system recognizes a drive. (The Nexstar 3 2.5" enclosure seems the most reliable e-SATA enclosure in my experience -- the Coolgear enclosure runs well on its USB interface but not the e-SATA interface.)

Worse yet, there is no way to safely remove this device. No matter how I tell Vista to let me remove the e-SATA adapter and no matter how many times Vista gives me the all-clear, yanking out this adapter is a guaranteed blue screen.

I hate writing negative reviews, but if you want to use this, then be prepared to try a LOT of e-SATA cables, a lot of e-SATA enclosures, and then, once you've got a combination that works, then Just. Don't. Touch. It. And pray that it continues to work.

Works fine.Sep 22, 2007
By R. Scott "squarebab"
After downloading the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website, the SIIG Esata II Expresscard works fine. I have two 750GB Seagate Freestyle eSata external drives hooked up to my HP laptop for storing my music files (I rip everything in .wav). The improvement in speed when browsing my files in Windows Media Player is much improved. The screen would stutter noticeably when scrolling through files on my USB2.0 external drive, but scrolling is much smoother with the eSata drives. I hope eSata ports are standard when I purchase my next laptop.

Don't waste your time on cheap onesNov 05, 2009
By A. Zaddach
I tried 3 different eSATA expresscard adapters. This was the only one that actually worked. The first 2 were $15-25, I bought them because they were cheap. Don't do what I did. This worked the first time I used it and has worked continuously since then.

What else can I say? It worked where others didn't. I can't ask for much more.
