eSata drive power options

I am looking to add an extenal drive to increase my storage capacity. Will I need an eSata drive that is self-powered or will I be fine with one that uses power over eSata?

 

TIA

You'll need an external eSATA drive in its own enclosure with its own power supply.  Be sure to search here for recommended eSATA drives because they don't all work well with DirecTV DVRs.
