I couldn't find the answer to this via search so here we go...
I have a Dell XPS M1330 laptop. It has a 4-pin firewire port as well as an ExpressCard slot. I'm planning on buying a Firebox in the near future. Ideally I would not have to use an external power adapter. Would an ExpressCard with 6-pin Firewire ports provide enough juice to power the Firebox? I've been reading that the ExpressCard Firewires don't provide enough power for things like hard drives and require their own power adapter, which would defeat the purpose of buying one.
