Does the rear eSata connector on ReadyNAS boxes provide 12 V and 5 V power for an SSD/HDD?

I.e. is it active or passive? My NAS is an RN102.

The eSATA connector on all ReadyNAS does not provide power.

I'm pretty sure that it is active - but I don't know for sure, and the datasheet and hardware manual don't say. Perhaps JohnCM_S or Marc_V will chime in.

    Yes. But that isn't answering the passive/active question.
