eSATA Card Compatible with esxi 5.1??

Hello Everyone,

 

I am looking for an eSATA card that I can use with a Dell Server I have.   I have run out of disk space - and I have an external hardware RAID 5 array that I want to plug into the machine and use as an additional datastore in esxi 5.1. 

 

I have an eBox R5 from DatOptic - a very nice device - that I used to use with this server (a Dell T410 for those who might know it) when it ran Windows.  When I switched to esxi to run my VMs - the card was not supported - so I stopped using the external raid array.  Now I need the additional storage again. 

 

So - what I would like to find is a simple eSATA card that I can plug into the machine and access that storage.  It connects to the Server via an eSATA cable - and I think the eSATA interface will allow me to treat it like just another drive on the computer - and thus as a new DataStore in esxi.

 

Any product recommendations would be very much appreciated!!!
