It's got to be the usual case of laziness on WD's part or their web-site builders.

... types if you set the high USB power option in config.txt. Alternatively get a drive with its own PSU. That work well too. One option is the WD Pidrive, which is a 1TB USB disk, cables, a spare SD card and a PSU that powers both the disk and the Pi. There was a special price for that recently, ...

Doh yes! In which case I'll set max_usb_current=0

That's because the power lead powers the Pi and the drive directly. It doesn't need to take current from the Pi's USB.

hansotten

mhodges

... I just splice in a 5v power brick(with higher amp rating) and a micro USB termination on the existing cable and achieve the same thing? Does the PiDrive cable do anything else that I am not aware of? M
