    Hi there,

    My cousin wants to build an eGPU, but the problem is this, he only has 1 esata on his PC.
    What adaptors I use from the esata so that I can have an PCIe extender?

    thank you

    esata is sata... so you can't. You'd need expresscard, thunderbolt or you can try routing mini-pcie from inside the notebook.

    No, what you are asking for is electrically impossible.
