I notice a lot of external drives (2.5) come with a single headed
USB cable, yet the drive requires 750 to 1000 mA. How can a single
USB plug provide enough power to keep the drive viable over the long term?
(I also notice I see a lot of dead drives like this - the dual
headed-USB ones seem
Hello Thane,
Those external HD's are not for the purpose of running 24/7. Also, note some
laptops on battery power can not power up those HD's either.

Hi Tim,
I was hoping for a reponse from you. When you say they
aren't made for 24/7 use,
Hello Thane,
Even those with the 2 USB connector type cables should not be used 24/7. In fact
all External HD's should not be run 24/7 due to inadequate Power source, of
course those SCSI/iSCSI/Fiber externals are exempt.
Why, you ask? Well the power source on even the 3.5 USB drives in not
Really enjoying this discussion. Can someone remind me what 'TIM' is really?

It could mean thermal paste, or like these guys were talking, a metal plate

Hello Thane,
Yes, do the business and shut them off. With the new SATA HD's out now it does
not require much power to run them. Just don't run them 24/7

off and leave it running for days. When it did die I figured it was
the heat rather then then anything to do with power adaptor. Thermal

You have a point there. In most cases, the jobs that go through our shop here,
the HD fail due to power problems. These power problems are either power spikes,
power drops, or shorts. Keep in mind HD's can not be repaired by replacing the
