P67A UD7 B3 Power over ESATA?
« on: June 01, 2011, 12:09:08 am »
2 x eSATA/USB Combo connectors

Hello fellow forum browsers, I want to ask if my board (P67A UD7 B3) will support power over ESATA? I have a few 250GB old WD Caviar drives that I'd like to stuff with junk and I have no more room to plug in a power brick  ;D

Hi

I don't think that it does as on my X58 board I received a cable set that included ESATA and Power leads that were required to be connected.

It might be worth confirming that from GGTS though.

Just enter your email address and click on the language of choice.
