Re: High Power USB hub port...

The terminology is so non-standard that I don't think it's possible to determine what it means. The most likely meaning is that it's going to want close to 500ma, which is officially the "limit" for a USB port.

Frankly, I'd just try it where you intend to use it (try it on a port that is directly on the motherboard if at all possible). If it doesn't work, and you need to use it with that computer, then try it with a powered hub.

Family pressures were brought to bear on me yesterday and I had to go to Costco. So, to do my part to keep America and China strong I bought a SanDisk 2 gigabyte flash drive.

The specs on this gizmo claim to need a "high power USB hub port". So I looked briefly at Dell dot com but couldn't learn if my Precision M-60 or my Inspiron 1705 has such a port.

Can you please help me? Point me to a reference on the Dell site or on the USB.org site? Or explain that the wording "hub port" means I need an external hub to run this gizmo? (I'll go look at sandisk.com as well).

Thanks in advance!
