Thanks for your interest Paco. I will try to show you what I mean. Please click the link. As you can see the external SSD has ONLY a USB port. It is powered via the USB bus. There is no connectivity for a linear power supply in the normal sense e.g. a box with 230V IEC input and 5V "pin and ring" (don't know what they are offically called) output. That is why the expensive iFi product interested me as it does seem at least to provide a clean 5V on USB.

I am beginning to think that I may be on a wild goose chase as even if I found a PS with the right connectivity the additional USB required plus the unknown USB data handling within such a PS may turn out to be worse than just using the USB bus as intended.

I even thought of getting an internal SSD + PS + cabinet and building my own. Then I realised that I am too stupid to do this. At least I am clever enough to realise that I am too stupid ;-)
