Line 552: * For small form-factor devices (such as external 2.5-inch<!-- No unit conversion: this is a nominal size class and not a measurement. --> disks), a PC-hosted USB or FireWire link can usually supply sufficient power to operate the device. However, eSATA connectors cannot supply power, and require a power supply for the external device. The related [[eSATAp]] (but mechanically incompatible, sometimes called ''eSATA/USB'') connector adds power to an external SATA connection, so that an additional power supply is not needed.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.sata-io.org/documents/External%20SATA%20WP%2011-09.pdf\|title=External Serial ATA\|publisher=Silicon Image, Inc\|access-date=8 August 2009\|url-status=dead\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613100125/http://sata-io.org/documents/External%20SATA%20WP%2011-09.pdf\|archive-date=13 June 2010}}</ref> {{As of ~~mid~~ \|2017\|8}} few new computers have dedicated external SATA (eSATA) connectors, with USB3 dominating and USB3 Type C, often with the [[Thunderbolt (interface)\|Thunderbolt]] alternate mode, starting to replace the earlier USB connectors. Still sometimes present are single ports supporting both USB3 and eSATA. Desktop computers without a built-in eSATA interface can install an eSATA [[host bus adapter]] (HBA); if the motherboard supports SATA, an externally available eSATA connector can be added.

With passive adapters, the maximum cable length is reduced to {{convert\|1\|m\|ft}} due to the absence of compliant eSATA signal-levels.
