The HP Media Drives are designed to work with most computers as an external hard disk
drive that you connect by using a USB 2.0 cable. If the computer has USB 1.1 ports, use
two USB ports to insure that enough power is supplied. Most USB 2.0 ports can supply
enough power so that only one USB connection is required.
When connecting the drive to a computer without a drive bay, the HP Personal Media
Drive requires a separate power supply in addition to a USB 2.0 connection. The
HP Pocket Media Drive does not require a separate power supply because power is
supplied through the USB 2.0 connection.
NOTE: The HP Personal Media Drive comes with a built-in fan; the HP Pocket Media Drive
does not come with a fan.
