A quick look on NewEgg and this looks just about perfect.

1 5volt 2.1 amp output for the cubox-i and then a second 1amp 5volt output
for the drive.
Or for super large

All we need is 5volt DC in, preferably 2amps minimum. If the drives aren't
too power hungry then they should be able to be powered by the eSATAp
connector, although I haven't tested that. I will actually ask Rabeeh if
he has tested it. I know he has tested eSATA just don't know if it was
self po
My first question is are we trying to run off AC or 12V DC. If the latter, do
we need a 12V connector and wires to split for the cubox and the drive?
I was also assuming we would use a conventional 2.5” sata drive with a sata to
esata connector cable.
My custom case at home brings motherboard
As for the connectors, I don't think an esata connector is either less or
more vulnerable than a cat5 connector, which we will have two of, one via
usb, or any other connector. Yes they are possible failure points, but as
long as we make sure the esata cables have the locking connectors things

My experience tells me that connectors are the weak link in most systems.
So I'm not excited about a connector that is part of the essential data
path, exiting the enclosure and exposed to being bumped/damaged.
Jon, I'd really like to start working on your kernel, and getting it to
play nicely wi
I figured we just put the cubox at the back of the case for now and loop
the esata cable back around into the box to hook up the drive. Is there
any reason to even worry about making the hdmi cable available? In the
back of my head I do have a dream where the XSCE could sit attached to a
monitor/
What's the best strategy long term? The cubox has all its connectors on one
face. Most of these need to be available to the outside. We can open the
cubox and solder a esata connector that comes out the back. Picture is at

Well from taking some basic measurements I was thinking we could pack a
2.5" sata drive and connector along with the cubox into a 5.25 external
case like this
