Re: Hard Drive & "TV" " USB" Recorder

Most 2.5" hard drives have a startup current at or above 1A, however the USB specification only calls for 500mA maximum, hence most 2.5" portable drives have a split USB cable to draw power from more than one port. You could go to a 1.8" drive but those are few and far between.
