Portable hard drive necessity

"External portable hard drives especially require this cable to function correctly because of the USB port current limit. I am very pleased with the heavier cable construction and reinforcement protection at the cable junction point. Quality color coded connectors allow for the cable to remain attached to the computer and plug in the correct added power connector when needed freeing up a USB port...." Read Full Review »

Is what it says it is, but TOO SHORT for 15" PowerBook

"Item came as described, although there was no mention of how long the cables were after the split. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the two USB ports are on opposite sides of the 15" PowerBook G4, it's not the solution for me. I can only access one USB port at a time...therefore, not enough power to run my external hard drive...." Read Full Review »

Great, but Y is too short

★★★★☆
4.0

    Pros

  • Consistent Performance
  • Good Warranty
  • Rugged
  • Versatile

    Cons

  • Too short

    Best Uses

  • None
 

"Great cable for use on removable HD on a 17" Powerbook except the arms of the Y aren't long enough to stretch across both sides of the laptop where the two USB ports are. I would also be interested in a micro USB Y cable for the same application. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Funny thing... I did an Amazon search for a Western Digital USB 2.0 Power Booster Cable (Model: WDCA029RNN), and this is what came up. Only 'after' ordering did I realize that the description of the item was a 6 foot cable, which would have been too long a power cable for my needs. I received the ca …"  Read Full Review »

"I have a Verbatim 160GB portable hard drive that would not power up. The unit kept flashing, but would not initialize. After researching I found that my older desktop PC was not providing enough power to the drive through only one USB connection. This particular type of cable was suggested as a solu …"  Read Full Review »
