Maybe I missed a response or a confirmation of success, but regarding your 
question whether or not you should plug both ends into the computer, the answer 
is yes.  That's because the drive could be using both those USB lines for power 
and data combined, and you could be creating issues for yourself if you don't 
have both USB lines plugged into the computer.

Cheers,

Mike Sahyun
