USB2.0 PCI card is for desktop computers, USB2.0 PCMCIA card is for laptop/notebook computers.

    How to Power this drive:

    If you connect the hard drive to computer USB ports, it can be powered from USB bus power. Whether a USB port can power a hard drive depends on the USB port itself and the hard drive you are using. This kit comes with a USB Y cable. If one USB port does not supply enough power to power the hard drive, you can connect to 2nd USB port to get extra power, which normally will supply enough power to the hard drive.



    If you are planning to use SATA or e-SATA port for faster data transfer rate, please note that a SATA or e-SATA port does not output any power. So if you want to use a SATA or e-SATA port, you need to get power from other power source. This kit comes with a USB power cable to get power from a USB port:



    You can also use our optional 5V AC/DC Power Adapter or 5V External Batteries list on this page to supply power to the hard drive:
