Solo Vu SoloSE External HDD Question

[kim1406]

Regarding the SoloSE, does it have enough power for an external USB HDD? Anyone here is using it with 1TB WD Element or my passport that doesn't need a power supply, will it be ok with the Solo SE for recording & timeshift?

I read somewhere that, you need an external HDD with dedicated PSU. I hope it is not true.

Can anyone please confirm this info? Thanks.

It will power a laptop drive in a usb caddy, but i'm not sure about a 3.5" desktop drive.

Thanks for your answer. Good to know that, it will power the small-size HDD via USB port.
