Hello folks. You know that external hard drives are good/easy way to gain additional capacity with no much hassle. All of course require power, but some require more power than others. It is even more convenient when they are USB powered, especially if one intends to use them with laptops.
Maybe you've already guessed where am I going!! Is it possible to make drives that use a power adapter work with only USB!?? Perhaps by using more than one USB port to get more current?
Does the voltage differ?
Are there USB powered hubs that will enable to get the matching power I need (This will only work for desktops though, it is meaningless for laptops)
It will be neat if it is achievable!
Discuss away, thanks.
