RE: Can I suspend USB power when I go into standby?



Hmmm - there may be a workaround:

Use a self powered USB hub. It's just like any ordinary external hub but it
has its own power unit. It has the extra advantage of extending USB slots on
your computer so might free up clutter at the back of the machine.

I wonder if that would help?
