Vero V external HDD power consumption

Hi,

The USB3 port is able to provide 0.9A, as opposed to the USB2 port which can only provide 0.5a.

If you only have this USB drive connected and nothing else, there should be enough headroom with the supplied power supply.

However it’s possible this drive wants more than 0.9A. The power specifications should be written on the drive itself. It’s not always correlated to capacity, but also spin speeds (5400vs7200rpm) for example and density. I’d suspect 2TB and 4TB drives to have very similar power ratings.
