Interesting gadget! I really like how it connects ATA or SATA. Just wondering though, all of my enclosures have a double usb connection. This is presumably because the drives have more power requirements than one usb plug can handle. I know my enclosures dont work with only one of the usb plugs connected. I only see one usb plug on this device. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the link!

Edit: Never mind ... just saw the power supply in the pictures.
