2.5 Using the e-SATA Port
With the built-in e-SATA port, you can connect your e-SATA-
compatible peripherals for data backup. The Windows operating
system will automatically recognize the device and install
appropriate driver(s) for it. Yet it is still recommended to install
the drivers that came with your peripherals. For more information,
please refer to your hardware manuals.
