Gigabyte deny that series 9 AMD boards support Power eSATA

[musicman53]

I have revision 3 GA-990FXA-UD5 board, on the back there are two eSATA3 connectors.
On the revision 1 version of the same board there is one eSata and one Power eSata connector.
When questioned about revision 3 board having power eSata connectors or not, the reply was series 9 boards do not have power eSata.
What kind of response is that?
They deny that series 9 boards support power eSata

I don't understand what you are saying. Because there is no power connection on either the rev-1 or rev-3.

Rev-1 has two esata ports one is red and one blue. Rev-3 has two red esata ports. They are the same other than the color.

Maybe I'm missing something, but there is no board made with a power connector for esata. Unless you get one of those adapter packages that come with some boards.

Even Newegg list it on the rev-1 board with two esata ports. They picture shows the red & blue ports.

I have seen revision 1 GA-99FXA-UD5 that has the one red and one blue eSata back connector.
The blue one is power Esata.
Reason that I know is because I have seen that board and on the box it states that one of the eSata connectors(on the back)is power esata.

I don't know what box you are looking at but I have a rev 1.x box in front of me right now
and I can't anything about powered e-sata on it anywhere.

There are a number of places where it says "3X USB Power USB 3.0 SATA 3.0"  but NOT powered SATA.

The picture shows you what a esata power port looks like.
