mine has no trouble reading my usb memory stick maybe something bigger needs its own external power supply

I'll give that a try, maybe i'm just being greedy and wanting too much storage!

Tried it with a double ended usb cable with one end plugged into a usb mains adapter. Worked perfectly!

From my experience so far:
A) Does need external power supply
B) Mac formatted drives don't stay connected
