Hi.
I have a 1TB 2.5" HDD which i put it in an enclosure and currently i use it via usb.
now i have few questions
1- the maximum power consumption of HDD is 850mA and usb 2 ports max current is 500mA. the enclosure just have a normal cable not Y cable.
is it ok to use it with normal cable or it may harm the HDD
2- does the HDD limits the power consumption with usb2 intelligently (like decreasing motor speed or ...) or it may reach to current limit point some times?
3- if i connect it to USB 3 port, would it solves the problem (i thought maybe after PC initializes a usb 2 device, it may not provides 900 mA on USB 3 port for that connection)
Thanks a lot .
