IDE Drive in Enclosure

Do you have proof that he is a liar? I have been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to prove/justify his status and have thought that he might have previously been a active MS-MVP. Lemme guess... you still believe in Santa Claus, right? That person posted a lot of messages in these groups before adding "MVP" to his sig. That's enough for me. The only information I have been able to find about him is that he may work for Sun Microsystems and not for MS. However, based on his recommendations I certainly do not consider him a software expert since they do not appear to come from someone who has a masters or doctorate degree in computer software which I feel would be the minimum education to be a "expert" "Mike Torello" wrote in message .. . "Curious" wrote: Also I am confused by C's statement that he is a MS-MVP but does not explain why he is not listed in the list of currently active MVPs. He implies that he works the "MS privacy and disclosure unit" and that therefore he is a currently unlisted active MVP. However, MVPs by definition do not work for MS.. I think he owes us a clearer understanding of his exact status. He is a liar. I've had that person kill-filed for ages - long before the claim of being an MVP. |

As you probably know, and as Malke indicates, many of these device are equipped with a 2-headed (Y-type adapter) USB cable so that sufficient power will (usually) be supplied through two USB ports on the laptop/notebook.

We generally advise customers in the market for these devices to (preferably) purchase one that does have an auxiliary PS/adapter or at the minimum is equipped with a dual-head (Y-adapter) type of USB cable since we have experienced problems with those units that do not contain such since the laptop/notebook frequently will not provide sufficient power for the device using a single USB cable with no auxiliary power to the device.

Anna, we are saying the same thing. I am talking about aftermarket
enclosures sold buy themselves. Retail USB drives with hard drive included will usually only supply one USB cord for both power and data (example Mator and Seagate). So take a closer look at NewEgg's line of USB enclosures themselves and you will see that 9 out of 10 have under various brand names, come with a power USB cable and seperate USB data cable.
