[QUOTE="cec772, post: 1352239, member: 232332"] [b]esata mod for imac[/b] FYI for anyone else who comes along here planning to make the mod via OWC or try it on their own. I found some detail which would explain why OWC isn't providing eSata modifications for late model 2009 iMacs: [url=http://blog.fosketts.net/2010/09/23/howto-add-esata-intel-imac/]How To Add An eSATA Port To An Intel iMac – @SFoskett – Stephen Foskett, Pack Rat[/url] According to this, the 2009 model only has 2 internal eSata ports, 2010+ has a third for internal expansion. The guy in the blog above had an older 2009 and sacrificed his DVD for the connection. (and had to unsolder it) Unfortunately I'm not willing to do that, so no external eSata for me.. Oh well..
