xxfesterxx Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Are there any 3.5 enclosures out there that dont need any power supply. So in other words it gets the power from the USB 2.0? Just got a WD TV Player and wanna get a 1tb drive for it. Any info would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I don't think so. 3.5" drives generally require more power than a USB port can provide. You may want to check out Western Digital's Scorpio Blue drives. They fit the 2.5" form factor and have 500 GB drives for under $100, 750 GB for $180 and 1 TB for $250.

thomas Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I've not seen too many external enclosures with just USB power, but check newegg, because if they exist they'd have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
