eSATA enclosures or caddies can be connected to the ReadyNAS for backup purposes. In your case, you might need an extra cable for the external PSU to power it on. Please refer to this thread.

This should be changed for sure. A box which cost 600 EUR I think the price difference from a eSata to eSataP when it will build in can't be such high. The current is already there so only add one single pin. All the hussle with extra caddy and cable could be easy avoided.
Now I have to look for a caddy and bought a useless esataP cable. I couldn't imagine that this isn't powered.
Hope that this will end on the desk of a technican as todo.
anyway thanks for the response.

Personally I think powered eSATA is quite rare. For external drives, the industry has largely has shifted to USB 3.0 since the NAS was released.
However, it would make a lot of sense for you to post this suggestion in the "ideas for storage" section, to put it on Netgear's list. Other forum members can also then vote for this feature.
