Subject: [OM] [OT] External hard drive question
Anyone have experience with external hard drives powered by USB? My
recollection is that USB only provides 5 watts total to the bus. This
320 GB drive has to be 3-1/2" and, I would assume, must be drawing a
pretty fair share of the power available. What happens if other devices
on the bus want some of that power too? Is this a potentially
unreliable drive solution?
