[iyonix-support] Castle/Iyonix USB vs. USB standard

Hi,

the TrekStore hard disk which I just bought comes with a "Y connection cable", 
and in the manual Trekstore "urgently advises" users to plug both plugs into 
two adjacent USB sockets on the PC, because otherwise there might be an 
insufficient power supply.

Luckily, just one plug seems two be enough - at least all those backed up files 
that I randomly clicked on are o.k.

This is lucky because TWO plugs definitely don't work; if I plug them into the 
two sockets on the front of my Iyonix, the disk starts making periodic high 
pitched chirping noises which can't be healthy for it, so I broke the 
connection after a few seconds.

Is there a difference between Castle's hardware USB implementation and that 
which you find on a PC?

Regards,

Jochen
