Comments about LaCie 4-Port eSATA II PCI Express Host Adapter Card:
this fit the bill, mac compatible, 4 ports, great price but this finally IS the last Lacie thing i buy, like everything else they make it ends up being the noisiest thing in the room. My 8 proc mac pro with 4 internal drives is twice as noisy with this card in it. off to [@] with it, while I'm there ill pick up a card WITHOUT a fan in it

Comments about LaCie 4-Port eSATA II PCI Express Host Adapter Card:
The speed is great, but I have had several problems with this LaCie eSATA II card. The first problem-the driver that came on the CD with the card did not work...had to download one from LaCie support. Second problem-adversely affects video quality imported into Final Cut Pro by it. LaCie is sending me a replacement card. I must say, though, LaCie support has been prompt to reply to try to solve the problems.
