    Hey guys,

    so, suppose my notebook (the MSI GX640) has a so called "Powered eSATA" port ( MSI - Power eSATA)

    If I buy a 2.5" external drive with an eSata port, does that mean I don't have to plug in a USB cable for it to work? Like, any generic eSATA enclosure will be able to accept power delivered to it through the eSATA port? Just wondering... heh.

    Thanks :)
