Just because this cowboy places a link to the MVP web page beneath his name
does ***NOT*** mean he is, in fact, an MVP.

All indications are that <<<<HE IS NOT>>>>

Until he posts a link to his official MVP profile do not believe his <<<SELF

I own 7 of these USB enclosures with Notebook drives in them. Take a very
close look at your "I am wrong" statement at newegg.com. 9 out 10 enclosure
come with a seperate USB for power and data USB cables. You are wrong Malke.
I will not disrespect anyone, unless they try to do it to me. Please its
really a waste of time to worry so much about me. MVP's such as yourself have
given very bad advice yourselves is like "calling the kettle black". Also I
work with a team of pro's. and for one person to claim to know "everything"
is quite a lie. I have work for MS privacy and disclosure unit for over 20
years. My life doesn't rely just in this NG for it is full of junk and
answers from everyone including YOU and everyone else. If it makes you feel
better to say other wise, then so be it. If I help 1, 2 or even 3 people, it
to me is a free job done well. Know one here knows anyone here personally...
so what? Please make it a great day.

On the contrary, you are wrong. Many external enclosures for laptops don't
come with a power cord. Sometimes they come with two USB cables instead.
And the fact that a (possibly cheap) enclosure simply will not work with a
particular computer is not uncommon.

Please post a link to your MVP profile.
