USB 3.0 Cable with Additional Power Cable for External Hard Drives

According to specifications, USB 2.0 can provide 0.5A (2.5W) and USB 3.0 can provide 0.9A (4.5W) per port. Most modern high-capacity external hard drives require more power than a single USB port can provide. The powering of most devices such as media players or TV boxes is not designed to power additional external devices. When an external disk is connected to such a device, it may not have enough power to function properly.

In such cases, a USB cable for powering external devices can help. One end of the cable has a connector that connects to the disk, while the other end has a connector that plugs into your device (PC, media player, TV box, etc.). Data is transmitted through this cable, and the device is charged with it, while another cable is solely for charging purposes. The power connector can be connected to another USB port or to an external 5V (1A+) adapter.
