Perc 6i Cable for for external eSATA HDD
I'm working with an older PowerEdge 1950 III server. It has a builtin backplane for two 3.5" drives using one of the SFF-8484 ports on it's PERC 6i card. I'd like to connect an external drive enclosure to the second SFF-8484 connector using eSATA.
Is there a cable that has SFF-8484 on one end and four eSATA connectors on the other (I can find SFF-8484 to SATA easily)?
Is this going to work if I find the cable?

The PE1950 was designed without eSATA support, so it will be a trial and error process.
