eSATAp on RN10200
I'm new to eSATA cable.
The eSATA port at the back of RN10200 look same as eSATAp as shown in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESATAp
http://superuser.com/questions/435738/how-to-check-if-my-esatap-port-provides-12v-power
I would like clarify if it is an eSATAp port which include +5 and +12V supply or just regular eSATA without power supply?
In this case, I do not need to have additional power supply to connect an external 2.5" or 3.5" hard disc on eSATA port?
Where to get the eSATAp cable to connect to hard disk for RN10200?

if drive connected to eSATA port, will shown as "external" same as USB drive connected?
This can speed up file transfer from other drive if can connect as external drive.

www.delock.com/produkte/F_4_SATA---eSATA_84402/merkmale.html - chirpaLuminaryI can't find anywhere in the tech specs that the port also has power. So you may end up needing that far right cable with external power supply. Unless they comment in here that the port is self-powered.
- nas102Aspiranthere's the port in close look, seems it is the regular eSATA without power supply
- nas102Aspiranthi chirpa, you are right, i need to get that far right cable.
