The processor would probably handle that, as would the operating system.
Have you tested the USB connection to see what other things it might
accept? Normally, the USB plugs in with the system on to give the
software a chance to detect the new hardware. NOTE: It would be best if
the drive had its own power supply, rather than one that sucks power
from the PC to drive it.
