What a roller coaster ride to get it fixed.
The onboard eSata connector requires a separate driver.

If you had the wrong driver in there, a bad driver, or no driver, it wouldn't work so well.

Did you try deleting it and reinstalling it? How about the motherboard site, is there an updated driver you could try?
