| 756472 | 2009-03-15 03:01:00 | Anybody know where I could get a PSU for one of these (www.welland.com.tw) external HDD enclosures? Yes I know the USB connection is bus powered but I want to use eSATA. |

| 756475 | 2009-03-15 03:23:00 | Can't you just use esata, then use the USB as power? | Blam (54) | ||
| 756476 | 2009-03-15 03:28:00 | System I tried it on didn't like it as it was detecting both the USB and eSATA connections as data interfaces and couldn't decide which to use. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 756477 | 2009-03-15 03:37:00 | The USB cable is a Y right? just plug in the power one(the one branchine from the cable, not the main) |

| 756478 | 2009-03-15 05:13:00 | When I tried that previously it didn't seem to provide enough power. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 756479 | 2009-03-15 05:22:00 | Have you tried another port? | Blam (54) | ||
| 756480 | 2009-03-15 05:24:00 | Tried front and rear ports at the time. There is a jack on the rear for a DC PSU input so that's what I suppose I need. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 756481 | 2009-03-15 05:34:00 | My friend has an external esata drive that works perfectly with a USB power cable plugged in....could you try another cable? | Blam (54) | ||
