Astrotek 1m USB 2.0 Astrotek USB Data/Power Splitter Cable Type-A Male to Mini 5pin Male + Type-A Male -

The simple solution to power your external hard drive via USB on systems that lack sufficient power on just one USB port

When higher speed 7200RPM hard drives are used in legacy hard drive enclosures with a USB Mini B connector, a single USB 2.0 port on the host system may not provide sufficient power to reliably spin up the drive and keep it running under load. With this handy Y-cable, you can utilise two USB ports on your system to provide additional power without having to resort to buying a cumbersome AC adapter.

This Y-Type Dual USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable will also work with most bus powered external hard drives with a USB Mini Type-B male port.
