Need an Intel Motherboard with powered eSATA ports

Post by Apoptosis »

I'm testing out some eSATA flash drives and am getting tired of using the USB 2.0 power adapter to power the flash drives... Do any Intel based LGA 1366 motherboards feature powered eSATA ports?

Don't think such a port exists, the cable just sends data no power like the USB connection has.

yeah that was written over a year ago... I thought Power Over eSATA is being used on some motherboards.
