eSATA on Ranger

I noticed when installing that there are no eSATA connections. My understanding is that eSATA is just SATA with a funny cable. Can I put a eSATA connector in a rear slot cover and get eSATA. I use it for an external RAID array for backups.

If not, I can buy a pcie card or a new usb RAID controller.

When you want to install eSATA on M8R it is need an extra sata backplane to link SATA ports

I am not sure what that last post means.

Do I have to add an eSATA connector using one of the add-on slots and connect it to an internal SATA port or is there something else I need to do.
For example, getting a PCIe board.
