Title: EP35-DS4
Post by: isvaljek on October 20, 2010, 07:43:42 pm

Will a 2.5" external esata hdd power up when connected to esata bracket on an EP35-DS4 only with esata cable only?

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.
As far as I know it would not work as the data cable is only for data and doesn't carry any power to the drive. It would need it's own power source which can be from the computer or directly from the mains.
