I'm looking at moving some of my internal mechanical drives to external.
I have been able to find MANY 2.5" external drive bays that are USB only (with no external power supply required.)
I have not been able to find any 3.5" that are USB only...they all require an external power supply.
I already have enough "stuff" plugged in AC wise, so I only want to do this for the 3.5" drives if I can run on USB only.
Has anybody ever seen a 3.5" external drive enclosure that is USB only? (Or is it because most 3.5" drives draw too much current?)
Thanks!
