Thx, if i put the main connector in first drive powerd up ok without the other one in if i put hte second one in first it doesnt power up properly untill the main one is in

its on some older usb 1.1 laptops there is only 1 usb port...

also case is blue with VIAO on it but i don't know who made it usally viao = sony but im not sure with this

Edit drive is rated to use 5v @ 500ma which i belive is the max power you can take out of 1usb port so i guess i can run it on 1 port if i need to
