Hello,
I am looking for a replacement of my incredible MS XBOX and lousy HDX1000.
The Asrock Ion 330 HT is in my humble opinion the most likely candidate.
This system will be running Ubuntu / XBMC.
I have the 3.5 inch hard disk (SATA) from the HDX formatted in EXT3 containing all my data.
Does the eSATAp (powered eSATA, or eSATA/USB) connector on the Asrock provide the 12V needed to run a 3.5 inch hard disk? Or does it only provide 5V for a 2.5" disk?
Or put in another way: Can I access my movies directly from this disk without an extra power supply? The EXT3 format will probably not be an obstacle.
I'm hoping on a positive answer, so I can go out and buy the system soon.
Kind regards, Robertino01
