1.) Yes, SATA to eSATA will work.

2.) It is not worth it, for stability. Having a cable from mobo to something outside case is unsafe at minimum.

I would go with the other recommendation: get a cheap pci sata/esata card. Cost is small, safety and reliability goes way up, no more kludge adapter going to inside of case.

Well the issue is I do not think you are able to install one on the optiplex micro form factor. If you know otherwise I would appreciate the info

Grntrenchman ,

Ah, you are correct… then yes, sata to mobo, with something to secure that cable very well.

AlphaAutist OP ,

Dang I was hoping you knew something I didn’t there haha. Thanks for your advice
