Can I use bus power with an eSATA hard drive?

eSATA does not provide bus power; therefore, an eSATA hard drive will require a power source in order to function. However, the Oyen Digital USB, eSATA portable hard drive uses an innovative DC to USB power cable, which allows the drive to be powered from USB bus power. Simply connect the DC cable to two USB ports and the eSATA connection to an eSATA port for total eSATA portability.
