This just interests me. I have no real answers, but the fact that my Blackberry won't charge on most of the USB ports says something.

Perhaps, just in case, the drive should come with external power, I have 3 from PG music and I think all have a place to plug a 'wall wart."

This is postulation, but if I was shipping product I would plug every returned hard drive into a reliable source and determine if it was ok. Then I would provide plan b to the customer.

I had issues with 2 of the 3 hard drives, all solved by changing the port.
