Hi, I am looking into purchasing a Time Capsule. However, I was wondering if the USB port on the Time Capsule can supply power to a portable usb hard drive (WD Passport) or does the hard drive have to have its own power source. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Absolutlely,.... the Time Capsule is capable of powering up your WD Passport!
I do use the same setup myself,... have my large iTunes and iPhoto Libraries on the Passport to bring it to the office.
Go for it 😉
