Right nerds, I feel the need to upgrade something. I need a larger external HDD so I'm going to grab a 4TB drive with an eSATA connection. Should be much faster than USB, etc right?
This card works with my mobo: http://www.frys.com/product/5174926
Is there anything better out there or anything I should be aware of before purchasing?
Or this, cheaper option: StarTech.com 2 Port PCI Express eSATA Controller Adapter Card: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
Also, do I need a Northbridge fan?
