[MinnowBoard] SATA pin 7

Tue Sep 2 09:35:05 UTC 2014

Hey Joey C,
I will start with powering the HD via USB, but this only works with a few
SSD since u only have 2.5 watts if u don't want to waste ur USB 3. U only
need to have SATA cable and a usb cable, so not realy expensive.
But i was thinking about using the J2 connector as well. But there I don't
know about possible interferences of the frequencies, that is why I wanted
to use already existing powering options.

Let me know if u have a better solution.
Cheers Arne
