eSATA between computers?

[Smoblikat]

Maybe this is a simple answer and im just having a brain fart, but say I build a cheap computer just to put hard drives in (4x2TB drives), could I use an eSATA cable (do those exist with connectors on both ends?) to connect that computer to my main PC?

No.

I think you want something like this:

Basically NAS device with an esata connector.

go to newegg.com , search for "sans digital tower". Those are much cheaper than that areca.

The cooling in the sans digital towers are bunk. If you do get one, leave the cover off.

Otherwise, they're great.
