Is the extra sata plug accesible on the 2009?

The 2008 required a nasty take apart to get to the extra stat plug to hook up a esata card. Anyone know if this is now any easier on the 2009?

No one even knows for sure that there is an extra sata plug. Though the best guess is that there are 6, 4 for the drive bays, and 2 for the optical drive bays.
