Assassin48 · Jun 4, 2009, 11:31 PM

you could run a sata cable throught the case but you would need a molex plug on it

It's not for a USB external hard drive if that's what you are thinking.

external needs e-sata - differnent plug. You can get adapters that will plug into the sata port on the mobo and connect a 12v plug - if you have not independent power supply for the external device.

i know its not for a USB. how much do adapter normally cost?

If you can power the drive theres no reason you cant run a long cable from that outside your case to it from these connectors.If the hdd is set up on ahci,you can even hot swap it too,and it will be much faster than usb.

Edit: nope msi removed it

You can get e-sata PCI slot adapters which will plug into those orage connectors and then provide you an esata port in back to be used with an external enclosure. Pick up an external enclosure which comes with a power brick/wall wart and then your problems are solved.
