Re: [Avid-L2] MacPro 5.1 SSD in drive bay or Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express Solid State Drive?

 

I too always add eSATA ports to my machines but there's no need to buy a "card".  All modern PCs have internal SATA headers on the motherboard so you can just run a ribbon cable to an eSATA connector:

Unless the cpu is mobile, or you plan on adding a blu ray burner, just toss the ssd into the second optical slot and be done with it.  I don't even bother to bolt them down any more- they weigh nothing and the cable us stiff.  

Absolutely add the Usb / eSata card.
