The signal unit 12 is connected to the SATA interface 22. Referring to FIG. 2, when an external SA:TA device, such as _SATA hard disk 3, needs to be used, the SATA interface 32 of the SATA hard disk 3 and the signal portion 12 of the eSATA interface 1 are transmitted through a SATA cable. Connected to a power cable to connect the power interface 30 of the SATA hard disk 3. When the computer system is in operation, the host board 2 will sequentially supply the working voltage to the SATA hard disk 3 through the power supply interface 20 of the eSATA interface 1 and the data of the motherboard 2 through the eSATA interface. The information of the SATA hard disk 3 is transmitted to the motherboard 2 through the signal portion 12 of the eSATA interface 1. Referring to FIG. 3 together, the power supply unit 1 of the eSATA interface 1 may be connected to the power module 5 of the computer system, such as a chassis power supply, without being connected to the power interface 20. In addition, in order to prevent the voltage outputted by the power module 5 of the power module 5 or the motherboard 2 from being inconsistent with the working voltage required by the SATA hard disk 3, the power supply unit of the eSATA interface 1 can be transmitted through the conversion module 4 098109431. No. A0101 Page 4 of 9 0982015520-0 201035731 Connected to the @Power interface 20 or the power module 5, at this time, the conversion module converts the voltage output from the package source "face 2〇 or power module 5 into The voltage required for the SATA hard disk 3 is to provide a working wish. ' The aforementioned motherboard is connected to the power supply unit 20 or the power module 5 through the eSATA interface, and the power supply unit 10 is connected to the power supply interface 20 or the power supply module 5 to provide a power supply for the external SATA device through the computer system, thereby avoiding the use of the external device. SATA devices require an external power supply for whiskers, which is extremely convenient for users to use external devices. r\ [0011] In summary, the present invention complies with the invention patent requirements and submits a patent application according to law.
