Sounds like a plan. USB is USB Since it derives it's power from an outside source(the little 4 wire power cord), there shouldn't be a conflict. Hey while we're on the subject..... I bought an enclosure on ebay that has a built in fan that you can plug in an ATA drive or even a DVD player and the whole thing connects to my B&W thru USB. Anybody ever use one?
