    Any recommendation for an external HDD of 1TB and eSata 3Gb/s compatible?

    Also is there any 1TB HDD that is eSata powered (no need for a power cord)? I saw that Lacie has a 500GB eSata powered drive

    Not one that I know of, to get that capacity right now you have to get a 3.5 inch drive and they have wall worts.

    Does your computer even support powered eSATA?
