I've looked around and I can't quite find what I'm looking for (or if it's possible at all). Basically I want to hook a slim SATA ODD (from an old enclosure that the USB port snapped off of) and use an eSATA to SATA adapter to connect it to my computer, but because I don't have powered eSATA (or rather it doesn't say they are powered) I need some way to get power to it (preferably without running a cable from the inside converting say Molex to slim SATA. Is it possible to use an adapter (one or two port, USB 2 or 3) to just power a slim SATA ODD, or will I need to completely run it over USB
