Teac HD-15 PUS

The Teac HD-15 PUS is somewhat more interesting because it is equipped with an eSATA interface besides USB. The eSATA interface doesn’t provide power to the attached device, and there is no power adapter in the box. The connector in the device’s case has a non-standard polarity: the minus corresponds to the central pin while the plus, to the external pin, while usually it’s exactly the opposite. The solution is indicated in the user manual. When the drive is connected via eSATA, you can power it up by means of the USB using the appropriate cord. There is a neat pouch included into the box but the lack of an eSATA cord is a bit disappointing.

Teac HD-15 PUK-B

The Teac HD-15 PUK-B is a silver-colored aluminum box with a mini-USB connector. Additional power is not provided for but I had no problems with powering the drive up during my tests. The drive comes with a USB cord and a pouch.
