What do I need to connect a hard disk to my laptop via non powered eSata?
- by Ludo
Hi there.
I'm looking at getting a hard disk for my laptop (OCZ Vertex 2 SSD) which I would like to connect via eSata. My laptop has an eSata port, but it's not powered (Thinkpad T410).
I presume this means I need more than just an eSata to eSata cable as it needs power, so does this mean I need a caddy for the hard disk as well which will provide power to the drive, or do I need one of them eSata cables that has a USB attachment too? I don't think the drive will come with a power supply.
I realise this seems simple but I can't find an obvious answer online. Thanks for any assistance!
Ludo.
