Hi, I just got rock pro 64 and wanted to attach external hard drive powered via USB (no additional power cables), but it doesn't power up. The drive works fine if it's attached to a laptop, so the problem is with rock pro 64. Does anyone know if it supposed to power it up - in other words, should it deliver enough power to power up external USB drive (2.5 inch SSD) like a laptop does?

Rock pro 64 does have on board sata power connector that is used to power sata drive connected through the PCIe x4, so I believe it should be capable of powering a USB SATA drive - but this is just a speculation.
