Should be OK. Try that and report any problem.

3.5" & 5.25" drives used externally needs a 12 volt external power adapter unless built into the external case. ide cable & power connecter of drive have to be connected from within the external adapter. audio cable can be connected if in external case.

Sorry to have answered a real question with a joke, it just seemed evident to me that such a power-greedy device would need external power. The very max power provided by USB mean is 2.5 W if my memory's good (unless you use several ports). Can you imagine powering the LASER plus the motor to spin the disc plus "all the other stuff within" with this?

yes tho depends on your windows version. if win2k & above with possible winme than don't need a driver whereas 98 does.
