## Questions & Answers

**Q: What about power?**
A: eSATA does not provide any power.  You'd typically use an eSATA port with an external drive enclosure that has its own power supply.

**Q: What cable goes between this esata adapter plate and the external sata drive? the external drive has a flat port, not "l" shaped.**
A: You need an eSATA cable. Here's one: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-108791-6-Feet-External-Shielded/dp/B009GUL1VM/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_lp_t_3/133-8936100-0506459?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HMC3NS4Q8W7KVFB3SWS3

**Q: can I use this to connect a port multiplier such as a 4 drive enclosure?**
A: You can connect the 4 drive enclosure by eSATA wityh this, but your motherboard's SATA controller needs to be able to support port multiplying with eSATA. If it does, then your computer should recognize all drives.

**Q: Do you have one that supports internal sata power and data ports (i have an external drive enclosure with separate sata and power connections)?**
A: You are looking for eSATAp variants and connections. Where "e" means External, "SATA" means Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, "p" means Power over connection.
