I'm thinking of getting an additional 2.5" internal IDE HDD for mirroring to
my laptop's HDD. Would like this extra HDD to go in an external enclosure
with IDE to USB 2.0 connections. Comparing 2 enclosure models from different
vendors. One enclosure has a PS2 power connector with power cord, and the
other enclosure has a "bus power design". Both enclosures are hot swapable.
It sounds like the latter model requires a USB 2.0 PCcard controller that
provides power via 2 of its connector pins (unusual). Is that correct?
