The 3B and 3B+ list a "Recommended PSU current capacity" of 2.5A, the 4B lists 3.0A. Some keyboards or other such could lead to problems if also connected at power up: Having both a keyboard and mouse at power up, in addition to the drive, could be a problem: QUOTE keyboards and mice can take as little as 100mA or as much as 1000mA END QUOTE So stick to a low total power for your other USB devices that are to be already connected at power up. You might have to carefully pick what keyboards/mice/whatever to fit the 200mA budget that is left --or plug some things in only after the drive has spun up. > Power Required (Seek): 1.7 W > Power Required (Idle): 1.6 W > Power Required (Standby): 0.18 W >=20 > So far I haven't tried to power cycle the combo, that might not work.=20= > Still, it's been an informative exercise.
