RE: Why?

True that a USB port won't power a 3.5" drive, but all of the external 3.5" drives provide their own power supply. For 2.5" drives, I think most drives made today can be powered by a motherboard's USB port. The Touch doesn't provide enough power for all external 2.5" drives, but it will power many of them.
