[QUOTE="VerbalKint, post: 703483, member: 63350"] I am a Windows professional who recently made the switch and bought two iMacs (20" and 24"). I love them. My daughter got the 20" and I got the 24" :D Well now that I have had them a few weeks, I am getting ready to move completely off my old Dell. The problem is my Dell had an eSata drive and I added a sweet 500 GB External Sata to it. I would like to be able to use that drive on my Mac but it doesn't seem to have any external Sata configuration. Why is that? Sata is without a doubt better than USB or Firewire. I would assume there moust be something I am missing. Is there a hack or some solution for attaching a Sata drive to my Mac? If not, I assume the next best choice is Firewire. I do have a few smaller USB and Firewire drives. I would really hate to have to downgrade to Fireiwre or USB. Any help would be most welcome. [/QUOTE]
