Well many usb drives require their own PS since they require more power than is allowed in the current USB spec. Only the compact usb drives (usually 2.5" drives) can be bus powered and many of those require more power than some usb buses can handle. However I seriously doubt the PS to the harddrive would have any sonic influence unless that PS is so power designed that it generates enough EMI noise to influence nearby devices. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73856 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
