Connecting the Drive to a Computer Without a Drive Bay

The HP Media Drives are designed to work with most computers as an external hard disk drive that you connect by using a USB 2.0 cable. If the computer has USB 1.1 ports, use two USB ports to insure that enough power is supplied. Most USB 2.0 ports can supply enough power so that only one USB connection is required.

When connecting the drive to a computer without a drive bay, the HP Personal Media Drive requires a separate power supply in addition to a USB 2.0 connection. The HP Pocket Media Drive does not require a separate power supply because power is supplied through the USB 2.0 connection.

NOTE: The HP Personal Media Drive comes with a built-in fan; the HP Pocket Media Drive does not come with a fan.
