[Cialug] SATA Bits

[jrnosee at gmail.com]

I don't remember if I asked this already or not, but does this require a
certain SATA chipset or other requirement on the host?  Does it have to plug
into eSATA?

If any of these are still available let me know, Someone I know was
interested in one for our church.

Thanks,

Justin
