d6bmg Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Every non-powered external I have requires dual plugs. Many companies rely on motherboard manufacturers supplying more power than the spec though. I own 3 Seagate, 2 WD drives, and none of them have 2 ports for data and power. All of them have 1 USB2/3 port, and all of them are5400rpm drives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
