Connecting the Drive to a Computer Without a 
Drive Bay
The HP Media Drives are designed to work with most computers as an external hard disk 
drive that you connect by using a USB 2.0 cable. If the computer has USB 1.1 ports, use 
two USB ports to insure that enough power is supplied. Most USB 2.0 ports can supply 
enough power so that only one USB connection is required.
When connecting the drive to a computer without a drive bay, the HP Personal Media 
Drive requires a separate power supply in addition to a USB 2.0 connection. The 
HP Pocket Media Drive does not require a separate power supply because power is 
supplied through the USB 2.0 connection.
