No Esata port

[ronb1955]

I have a Asus Z97-AR motherboard and I use a Antec's MX-1 portable hard drive enclosure but the mobo doesn't have the eSATA port. The MX-1 has proven to be very handy over the years. What options do I have if any, The MX-1 does have USB 2.0 also but that is too slow

Or something like this (it converts internal sata to external esata)

Got it going, just installed new mobo and didn't have the eSATA port on my case connected to sata port on the board.
