[MinnowBoard] SATA pin 7

Tue Sep 2 01:51:05 UTC 2014

Dave or others -

I have my MB maxes and I am trying to find the smartest way to power sata
drives for them. Right now I am actually using a Cubietruck cable with sata
going to the MB and power coming from the CT!

Has anyone found an inexpensive and simple way to power sata drives for the
MB?

Thanks - I'm still looking so when I find something I'll let you all know.
