Xiphos Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hello, What is the power requirement for the 16GB USB Flash Voyager flash drive? I would like to know how many of these I can run off of an unpowered USB 2.0 USB HUB. Can I run at least 2 or 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvin Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 On my p5qturbo, virtually the same board as yours, I'm only able to drive a single 16GB thumb drive off the back case connectors or one of the two USB leads off of the motherboard. The other USB lead off of the motherboard can only supply enough power to drive up to and including 8GB thumb drives. Doesn't matter what brand of 16GB thumb drive is plugged in; the board alone will not supply enough power through one of the motherboard connectors to drive it. Trying to plug in any brand 16GB thumb drive and a second thumb drive doesn't work either, get the Window's message everytime, the "Hub power exceeded" warning, on any connector. Using a powered hub, everything's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
