[QUOTE="MarkStokes, post: 677232, member: 46499"] Hey everyone. I have had my first MacBook Pro for a few months now and love it. I have a weird issue with one of the USB Ports though. The one next to the magnetic power adapter doesn't seem to want to run an external Hard Drive through it. When I plug in an external hard drive it doesn't register on the Mac and I hear a faint clicking sound from the External Hard Drive. I have tried a couple of different hard drives, with the same effect. Other devices work fine, such as my graphics table, keyboards, etc. I wonder if the port isn't supplying enough power for an external hard drive? Is this normal? it's a bit annoying as I have a couple of external hard drives that I want to connect at the same time. Thanks Mark [/QUOTE]
