My problem is the following: Drives use hudge current intensity and are better connected on an powered USB hub.
But when I shut down the computer the drive is still powered by the usb unit and spin all the night, and if I shutdown the power plug, I often forget to power it on when using my laptop and after 2 hours it stops working :-)). If I'm not there it shut down again
that's a lap top problem, of course :-)
Rather a problem of badly designed usb hub. The hub should detect the pc bus is down (no power) and power down itself, too, or go to standby, remove the voltage from the usb line. The hack for you would be to use a main switch for all appliances, and switch it off, instead of swathing off the bus, the printer, the scanner, etc, etc. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
