First of all, I assume you mean hard DRIVE, rather than hard desk, since a desk would usually just be a hunk of metal, plastic, and/or wood and not do much more than hold things off the floor. With that in mind, hard drives vary from those that only need the power supplied by a USB port, and some that require a secondary power source. The first will work with any computer, while the second often supply a separate power source, akin to what a laptop has. In that case, you would need a drive with a USB port for this secondary power supply, or a suitable adapter for a barrel-type connector; otherwise, the actual power requirement is easily met by the PD specification, which supports up to 100W (20V at 5A).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it has enough power to connect to a mini hard drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Even platter drives require comparatively little power, so just about any USB connector to/from any computer will work with one, and since this has multiple ports, you could connect several at once.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The A7 MAX features dual 40Gbps USB4 ports. Complying with the USB4 specification, each port delivers a minimum power output of 7.5W (5V/1.5A) and supports USB Power Delivery, which is enough for most portable storage devices. 1】 2.5-inch HDD/SSD: Fully compatible and stable when connected directly, no extra power supply is required. 2】 High-power M.2 SSD enclosures: Most work properly. For high-load usage, we recommend using the USB4 ports or a powered docking station to avoid disconnection issues. 3】3.5-inch desktop hard drives: They require 12V power and exceed the power limit of USB ports. An external power adapter is mandatory for such drives.
