eSATA II expantion card

I was going to go with the ASUS M2N-SLI Delux motherboard for my build but, have decided I really don't need SLI becuase I'm not a gamer and want a cheaper motherboard so I can put that money into other stuff. However I do like the external SATA II port that I can use for my external drive that will be able to do eSATA II or USB 2.0. I haven't found any other boards except one that had eSATA II alread on it except another one by ASUS but, it only had about two SATA II connedtors on the board and then four of the older SATA connectors which I don't want. So, I was just gonna stick with my original mobo choice until I had a thought. If they make USB expantion cards, maybe they do/will for SATA II. So I looked it up on NewEgg and found this.

They both use PCIe x1 and are hot swapable.
This is what I want, right? If so, now I can go about finding my new mobo choice.

Yes, the SIIG SC-SAE211-S1 PCI Express x1 SATA II Controller Card is what you're looking for.

Thanks cricket. It didn't come out any cheaper with the mobo I was looking at and the card vs. my original choice so I'll stick with the ASUS M2N 32 SLI.
