In a 2012 cMBP that is on its way I'm going to be replacing the 750/7200 HD with a Samsung 830, and putting the HD into a USB 3.0 Sata 3 external enclosure for back up... Does USB 3.0 provide enough power to the HD, or is an enclosure with additional power necessary..? And if so, such as..?
And a connected question, if hooked to a USB 2.0 connection on another machine, enough power there...?
Many thanks for all the great info in these threads...
