Trying to decide on a new mobo - one of the things i'm particularly looking for is a powered eSATA port(s) but no one seems to mention 'anything' about it!
Currently looking at the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 and from looking at the back panel, the shared USB/eSATA port "looks" like a powered one, but there's nothing in the manual/forums that mentions it, so i'm assuming it's just a bog-standard one.
Is powered eSATA still rare to find?
EDIT: Okay after further reading.... eSATA/USB = Powered eSATA then? lol
EDIT2: Okay I suck, Asus TUF Sabertooth looks like the puppy I might be going with
