Installing eSata PCI Card in Optiplex 790
Hi Gang
Was wondering if I could install an eSata Controller Card in an Optiplex 790? (In one of the PCI slots?)
I've read various issues/problems online with regards to non-recognition and Windows 7.
Thanx
Mike

Were those reports specific about the cards?

Hi Chris
Thanx for the reply
The complaints were only in regard to Windows 7 OS not communicating with the card properly. Perhaps I should shop at Dell Online for an esata card to possibly ensure it will work in an Optiplex 790?
Thanx
Mike

Hi Chris
It took a while for a response LOL :emotion-18:
But thanx for taking the time to reply. So then it's confirmed, there's a definite issue with eSata and Windows 7 :emotion-9:

I looked in the Spare Parts section for the Optiplex 790. I did not see any esata cards listed. I found a generic PCI esata card on our site but it does not support Windows 7.
