Got this drive when it was $180 at Frys a few weeks back, love it so far. Need to buy an eSata cable though, didnt realize I needed one until I got home, and the one from the MB is too short.

Just picked this up. Great deal. Are the e-sata cables and sata cables the same?

Also, does anybody know if this will work with cable DVR's like Scientific Atlanta 8300HD to expand it's capabilities?
Unless you're trying to RAID, you don't want that turned on.I installed the latest JMicron Raid driver, and set my JMicron to RAID in BIOS. My IDE DVD-RW drive is detected by the JMicron Raid driver, but my ESATA isn't .
