I've looked and looked to find something to power a portable usb drive in my vehicle. My stereo powers a flash drive but wont a portable drive.
I bought a lighter style adapter--it worked for a couple months an the output changed just enough it creats a power error. The drives AC adapter takes it down to 5v 2 amps DC.
While it was working-- it was pretty awesome, 160 gigs of music.
I hooked up a power inverter to power the AC adapter but thats a pain in the neck,, really bad when you forget to unplug it(the battery is dead)
Anyone know of a device or a way to make a little curcuit board to do what I need?
Cant believe its something I couldnt find on the web. Seems like it should be easy OR Im not asking the correct thing.
