Maybe more power... The cable might have extra wires for that or they might
not have wanted to pull it all out of one port.
PL] Interesting, the drive still works. I presume I could insert the second 
USB cable into a USB port without damaging the drive?

It's for more power - see the thread I started about the my friends cute little 
case. It only has one and won't work with a USB1.1 port unless he uses a 
powered hub. 

I personally always use both - I don't want to risk low power when I'm writing 
to a disk.
