I'd like to use an external HD to load XCI's with SXOS. The models I have are powered through a single 3.0USB (with no external power supply whatsoever).
I've read people recommend using a Y cable because you might burn the USB port on the switch, but the port on the back is 3.0 and in theory supports my drives (5.0v 1.0A), is there any reason for me to use a Y cable? Is the port on the dock actually USB3.0 standard compliant?
