I've never managed to get a reliable eSATA cable connection. I've bought a half dozen different cables and they were always flakey with this case. Perhaps it's the case's stock ports or something. Either way, it has made me extremely untrusting of eSATA.
I used to buy power adapters from Monoprice. They were great, $2.66 a piece when buying 20. They were also "side" orientation, so they didn't block most outlets. Sadly, they've stopped carrying them. I *could* have found a cheapo seller from China on ebay/amazon/ect, but I figure the power adapters for these drives will be FAR more reliable.
