If you power the PI from the gpio bypassing the input fuse you could probably power multiple drives from the usb ports it was discussed in another thread and if I remember correctly the traces on the circuit board should handle about 2 amps
Now this sounds interesting. If we could somehow by-pass this fuse it would be great.
Has anyone done this, please post links.
I am guessing this would void warranty but that's ok too.
