Hi,
I purchased a 1.5tb seagate portable expansion to work on my samsung note, but it won't connect saying that "high power device connected, can not access". Is there anyway I can get it to work?
Thanks
Gillian
 
Solution
The drive pulls more power than the port can provide. You could get some sort of cable that draws power from two USB ports while only making a data connection to one; one of these came with my first Pocketec drive.
