Think you will find they are all dc power. I have used a one gig Samsung M3 without problem. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=samsung+m3&newwindow=1&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwie5Lu9g-3KAhVL6RQKHVHHBEsQsxgIIA&biw=1280&bih=643 Have you tried pulling the power on the Touch (with the usb attached) and doing a restart? Maybe try a different power supply on the Touch and/or the usb disk drive atb Ronnie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105167 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
