Basically getting the enclosure and cables etc for free

The E-Sata 'upgrade kit' was as I thought by the way, not a controller card, just a plate which acts as a bridge to a SATA port on your motherboard.

Which is probably better anyway, as you cant be bottlenecked by the PCI bus. Not that you'd do it with 1 disk, but you never know what else is on there
