I'm looking into adding an external drive (or two) to my home PC. A lot of the solutions I'm seeing mention connecting using eSATA. I'm trying to determine if I can use it with the SATA port on my system board of if they aren't compatible. A Google search helped some but still didn't clear things up totally.

Some of the enclosures come with what appears to be an expansion slot connection for the enclosure to connect to. Will this work with the existing SATA port or does it connect to the system differently? I'm wondering if it's actually a PCI card.
