A airdeano New member Dec 4, 2012 #2 why are you using USB 3.0? peripherials only need 2.0. and yes, many above a 2.5" HDD/SSD need external power.. airdeano

A airdeano New member Dec 4, 2012 #4 usually, there is a second USB cable for the power aspect and one for DATA. the ones i have seen have a dual USB 2.0 plug. since it doesn't have an onboard power adapter. airdeano

Bang New member Dec 5, 2012 #5 I cant see why you would want to use an adaptor rather than its innate transfer method.
A airdeano New member Dec 5, 2012 #6 because some drives need wattage to run and USB can't carry that load, hence external power adapters are needed. and blu-ray drives can fall into that catagory. airdeano
