I searched but I haven't been able to find the mA usage.

If you have to know the answer to that question, I'd guess that your power supply is way too small for what you have in the case!! Since it doesn't have or NEED an external power supply like an external hard drive I'm SURE that your computer can handle it. If something DOES pull too much power, it usually is just shut down, if I remember correctly. (The USB power). A reboot re-powers it, but it would undoubtedly just go down again until the current hogger was removed.

SanDisk Cruzer 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive uses less that 5MA power.

System Information on my Mac reports this as 500 mA, but I'm sure it's far less overall.

unfairbuy · Answer

Usb2.0 generates upto 500mA whereas usb 3.0 generates upto 900 mA

Answer

I don't think it is measured in mA because it's not battery powered. It's just used for storage. If something doesn't need charging or run on batteries, it has no mA.
