So does that mean GND_DAIN is not conected to the USB's GND?
Let's say I have a eSATAp port on my pc and a SATA Harddisk, then I want to connect the HDD to the eSATAp port. Can I just connect together the 3 GNDs from the SATA HDD data pins then connect it to the eSATAp's GND_DRAIN? Then connect the TX, RX pins and provide power to the HDD... Will it work?
