Tablo does not recommend using a USB drive that doesn’t have it’s own power supply.
That is a strange statement considering that Tablo Support says:
Our most recommended drive is the Western Digital Elements
Which of course has no external power supply jack. And I guarantee that if you open it you will find a USB to SATA bridge attached to a mobile 2.5" SATA drive (i.e. electronics and a hard drive). I don’t believe they are recommending a power Y to run the WD Elements drive.
