Hi,

I have x510 working nice. I would like to connect SSD disk external eSata but it is not working and not recognized. Same disk with same cable is working well on my HP notebook. I also connect standard Seagate HD but same thing. Also I don't hear that disk is rotating. It looks like there is no power on X510 eSata port.

Cable is eSata to Sata - picture attached.

Any help?

It looks like that I have found answer. There are two type of eSATA ports - eSATA and eSATAp (some time it is marked eSATA/USB)
HP x510 has eSATA with out power and that is the reason that single drive without external power is not working.

I ordered cable (attached picture) that provide power trough additional USB connector. I will post update when it arrive.

Until then more about SATA you can read on wiki

Correct, same thing with the 2.5 sata drive which doesn't need extra power where the 3.5 sata does need extra power.
You got it.
Nice looking cables though, thx for sharing...
:cheers:
