Image Burn was not working anymore, hung up whilst trying to load the CD-ROM drivers, then after 5 minutes it quit, and gave me a blue screen forcing the PC to reboot.

As I have 5 SATA disk drives on my internal SATA II controllers, and on the 6th SATA II controller I have the external eSATA port attached, I plugged the CD-ROM drive to one of the internal SATA III controllers. Now I realized that this was the problem, CD-ROM didn't want to be plugged to a SATA III controller. After changing that, Image Burn worked again.

So I changed again, leaving me now with 5 disk drives and 1 CD-ROM drive on the 6 SATA II controllers, and I want them to be that way, SATA II 1-5 are the HDD and SATA II 6 is the CD-ROM.

But now I have the external eSATA port attached to the internal SATA III controller, and my question is, does this work? Can the eSATA port be attached to a SATA III controller, or does it need to be on a SATA II controller?

I cannot test this, as so far I don't have an eSATA disk yet.
