      Yea... no way you can power a 3.5" off of USB... it needs external power.

        Yes, I did not specify that. I am only using a 2.5 drive.

            notice it says SSD, not even 2.5 in drives.

              In the comments someone mentioned that you probably can power a 2.5 since those are powered off 5 V, but definitely can't do 3.5 drives as they run from 12 V.

                    You can buy standard USB enclosures for 2.5" drives and they never need external power.

                        when I posted that it I was responding to the title of the sale indicating SSD - so I jumped the gun a bit on the 2.5.. my bad.
