    Does anyone know whether the E-series' eSATA ports will power OCZ's new Throttle drives? Would be great to have one if true!

    The only way we can be sure is for someone to try one, but since the eSATA port is a combo port with USB, the power is there provided someone designs a plug which can connect to both the USB power and the eSATA data.

    I can confirm that this works. I own both a E6400 and a OCZ Throttle 32GB.
    I havent done any performance testing yet, but it seems to work well.
