So I'm browsing through Newegg's USB hubs and drives, and one guy says in a
comment about a hub:
"If you plan to plug in anything that needs power from the usb port,
(...flash drive...) don't bother. This cant provide enough power to do ...
it."
How much power does a flash drive consume? I'm looking specifically at
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208378
The specs proclaim it to be "USB powered". Great. I knew that much.
Can I hang five of those off an unpowered hub? A USB port only provides 500
mA, so a bit under 100 mA is OK.
