I think BirdofPrey meant that HHHL cards would draw less than 25W, which the Intel 750 at 22W does. It is definitely HHHL - http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-750-series.html

If the specifications state HHHL cards can only draw LESS than 25w, then Intel obviously devised some solution around this, because the cards don't use external power.

I received a response from Funtin but I believe there is a communication barrier, as this was the response to my inquiry regarding why they used a molex external adapter to power the card:

Yes, I understand your question. It is not a PCI power supply, there will be a special 4 PIN power cord supplied externally. So do not worry.

EDIT - Followup from them:

Because some motherboard PCI power 25W or less limited, from an external power supply to solve this problem.
