Re: Will Samsung power a USB Hard Drive?

Thanks.

I bought a " SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 500 GB" in the sale for £65.  It's at £100 now but not sure what the real price is normally as prices tend to rise before a sale and again just after to make you think you got a deal.
I like that it is IPX rated, and plastic with rounded edges and hole for to tie it on.   My main use will be backing up data I take on the road before I can get back to my home set up,  so it will be living in a bag mostly.   
I have 256GB SD card in the samsung galaxy and now need to buy a USB card reader / hub so I can use the phone as a controller and copy from my cameras SD card to the disk, along with backing up any phone pics
