RE: Power Supply for External SSD?

Thanks again Abe, you are a gentleman.

I have subsequently spent the last 45 minutes on line looking at just about every case for 2.5" drives with USB connection that is available in the UK. I cannot find any that take external power. All power the drive via the USB bus. So this result just takes me back to my initial problem.

The case that you kindly linked is not available via Amazon here. The nearest equivalent that they have is , again, USB bus powered.

I am only able to find cases/caddies for 3.5" drives that take a dedicated external power input. As far as I am aware SSD drives do not come in 3.5".

So , it's now time to look at powered hubs :-). However I am not keen on this as I suspect that the hub itself and the additional links it entails will degrade SQ.

Maybe I'll have to end up using NAS with , perhaps, the new dCS network bridge or maybe buy a Rossini ;-).
