Review on 🔌 StarTech.com 1 ft USB Y Cable for External Hard Drive - USB A to mini B - USB 2.0 - 1 ft - Black - USB2HABMY1 by George Mack

Some older 2.5" drives just don't like spinning when powered by a single standard USB2 connector. This effectively doubles the power available by drawing from two. He did what I wanted and that's all I can ask. The construction appears to be of high quality and despite fairly constant use in the car to power the music deck it has not yet fallen apart or shown any problems. :P
