There're two types of USB ports, low powered for things like mice or keyboards and high powered for things like printers or external hard drives. Maybe that's how the USB ports are configured on that keyboard.

Are you doing this using a notebook? Mines is a Kingston 4GB something or another and says more power is needed. I have nothing plugged into the keyboard except the thumb drive. Strange, but I can plug it into the left side and the portable VO prefs. come up but no recognition in the Finder. I can plug it in on the right side and it says I need power, go figure.

I plug a thumb drive into mine all the time. It's probably dependant on the type of drive and the power that it draws. That keyboard, and all the devices you plug into it are sharing 1 power source. If you've got a mouse plugged in as well, plus a thumb drive, you will be dividing the power in half. My kingston data traveler had no problems. Hope this helps a little bit.
