Hi,
I have just ordered a VU+ Solo and I want to be able to record to an external hard drive.
I have been reading several forums and it seems like most people recommenrd externally powering the hard drive to avoid strain on the VU box's power supply.
I already have a 250GB 2.5" SATA hard drive in an enclosure with a usb Y cable that can be plugged into 2 USB ports for extra power, If I plug the main usb into the VU box and the other usb into a USB mains AC adaptor would this work or would I risk damaging the VU box?
The adpter is HTC AC to USB adpter and the output is 5v 1A.
Thanks
Mick
