I have the same style drive for my 2009 BIAB drive. It has a mini USB on one end and 2 full sized USB plugs on the other. I couldn't see a part number anywhere on it though.

Did you try plugging a mini USB to full size USB cable into a powered hub ?
A powered hub may provide more power than the built in USB on the MBP .
