This being so, I suggest that dynamic USB..it ain't the 2.0 you're looking for..but you want to take as little as possible from the PSU in the tower to charge anything other than what the PSU is capable. Like I said, cut to the chase and just use the hub... |

| 542941 | 2007-04-21 19:40:00 | To add my spoke to the wheel and emphasise what Speedy said . There is no such thing as a Hi Powered USB port that I am aware of and I am a Hardware Technician . As speedy suggests, you can buy a USB HUB that will provide power to devices plugged into it . BUT (and a BIG BUT) none of these will speed up battery charging . The USB standard is 5 volts no matter what, and it is the voltage (within reason) that determines the charging rate . Nothing that is designed to plug in the USB port will try and draw more than the 500 m/a that the port is designed to provide . The only exception are some 2 . 5" USB hard drives and they plug into 2 ports to get the extra power that they require . I hope that helps |
