As far as the rear eSATA port goes you might be able to...
* Acquire an eSATA to SATA adapter
* Remove one of your case slot covers (or any available large enough hole going through the case).
* Run the eSATA (with SATA adapter) through the hole directly to one of the motherboard SATA ports.

The reason I mention this is because I experience a very big improvement in boot times after disabling theASM1061 Storage Controller & uninstalling the ASMedia driver in Windows. The time it now takes to get to the Starting Windows screen is simple amazing; I would say it is maybe three times faster then before. The ASMedia driver is a real hog.

Thanks for the reply, I would do that however at this time i am already running 4 hdd's and 2 optical drives. So the only sata port left on the board is the 3rd party one. Is really a catch 22, lol. Oh another question if you don't mind. I noticed on another post you have commented on, that you posted your settings for oc'ing, might send you a im if it's ok about some setting i am working with?
Thanks
Nick

ello folks
i just stumbled on this post. i have the same issue and didnt realise what it was. so thanks! i take it that the 3rd party port is the one on its own? i have my drives connected to the 4 bottom ones. when uninstalling the asmedia in windows do i uninstall both the usb3 and sata or just sata?
thanks

Just the first one called...
ASM1061 Storage Controller

You want to keep the USB3 one.
