Hi everyone,
Yes I have attempted to plug both ends into the Apex, however this
did not work. This would have worked if it was just an amperage issue, So I
believe the voltage going to the hard drive is not adequate to spin up the
hard drive. I am pretty certain that this is something that the programmers
can change. That is unless the battery is not putting out the right
voltage, I suspect that this is not the case though. Have a great day.
Scott

Hello Scott,
I am wondering, if you have tried, plugging both usb connections
into the apex, to see if that provides enough power, if so, let
me know.
Also, where did you get the cable.

Subject: [Braillenote] usb hard drives and the apex.
Hi everyone,
I have a western digital passport 256gb hard
drive. I also
have a cable with two usb ends on it. This is a cable that
provides extra
power to the hard drive, only one of the cables has the data
connections. I
hooked the power end up to my computer, then connected the end
for data to
the Apex. Then magically I was able to access the hard drive. I
believe
that this proves that the Apex is not currently providing enough
power to
the hard drive. I would guess that a firmware update to the Apex
could fix
this problem. Have a great day.
Later,
Scott
