5.0 out of 5 stars Comes in handy when you need more power than whats provided by one USB port, March 20, 2009
Pros: Works like a charm.

Cons: a bit pricey.

I bought this because I needed more power than what was available in one USB port to power my Western Digital MyEssential external hardrive. The harddrive wouldn't work on my Dell laptop through one port.

5.0 out of 5 stars USB cable worth having, March 28, 2008
By A. Lefebvre (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Even the portable drives I use may work fine from a standard cable, it's worth having this Y cable for when other drives need more power. I'll never be caught lacking of power for portable drives with my laptop. Good insurance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what you need, June 16, 2008
By Piotr H. Kieniewicz (Philadelphia, PA USA/Lublin Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Some hard disks are advertised as powered by single USB cable. Don't take it for granted. Works slower that way. Add this cable and power your HD.

5.0 out of 5 stars great quality but too short with Powerbook
I bought it to power an external hard drive from my PowerBook laptop, which has two USB ports on either side of the keyboard. The Y pieces are too short to reach. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars USB Splitter
This turned out not to be what I thought it was. I wanted to have two computers print to one printer. One arm of this cord is for power only.

It's a USB Power Adapter Y Cable, it is what it is and does what it's supposed to.

5.0 out of 5 stars You need this for some external drives
Bought this to use with a Western Digital 250GB USB drive. You will need it with some USB ports, like those on a monitor.

Works great.

This is good to use as an extension for your WD USB cable as the cable provided is very short and can be used for many other things also. Read more
