I know it's not an ideal solution, but you can use one of these cables: http://www.lindy.co.uk/31780.html Just plug the second usb plug into another usb port, or a usb charger adaptor. However, I agree that manufactures should warn people that 2.5" drives are not certain to be able to draw enough power from a single usb port on all computers before selling them as usb powered.
