Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apricorn USB Power Adapter Y Cable AUSB-Y (Black/Grey)
Customer Review: Highly recommended for the external HD problem!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you had problems, like me, of your computer suddenly thinking your external HD is malfunctioned and cannot be found, well, this cable solves everything.
I took my external HD (WD 500 gb big thick book) onboard a cruise ship trip and it was able to shut down two laptops in an instant. Which was strange because my external HD has been working fine for over an year. Never had this kind of problem before. So, when I got back home and inserted the HD into my desktop computer, the external HD came up as "malfunctioned" by my Vaio. Frustrated, I tried several ways to bring my external HD back up, but majority wise, they will not work. My external HD could pop up fine for a few seconds but go back to being considered "malfunction" and not showing up on "My Computer" even if the light is all green (but constant blinking). In-between trying to revive the external HD, I surfed the net for solutions and was shocked by how common this problem is. External HD makers should address this problem one day. External HDs work great except, they do take up a lot of energy as I came to realize. Getting this kind of USB cable came up several times in people's solutions, so I thought, why not?
Ordered it through Amazon. Even though it is a little pricey for this short cable, it saves you the headache trying all the dozen other ways that people came up with the solution. It was either this cable or try the "delete the infocache1 file from your computer" option, which I had doubts on so I went with, what I considered, a safer alternative.
It feels a little mind-bending that such a short cable can give that extra energy boost to the original supplied cable. I think WD does now supply their smaller external HD boxes with these kind of cables, or at least, I've seen it before. I could be wrong.
I believe this cable is suitable for majority of the external HDs out there regardless of the brand name and your computer. So, if you're tired of looking through the net for help or ready to combust thinking you lost a lot of files, well, rest assure. This cable is all you really need. ^_^
