    I noticed that the eSata port on the M570TU is combined eSATA/USB. Is it therefore possible to use one of these on it? This device uses eSATA for data transfer and draws power from the USB...in one connector.

    Unfortunately, unless the m570u's esata port is power over esata, then I don't think it'll work like that. The linked device takes power from usb using a separate usb connector on the opposite end of the device from the esata connector.
