I have a similar connection for my USB2 Hub (actually a second cable) which
functions as an auxiliary power connector. Individual USB ports only provide
500milli Amps each for USB powered devices. What the extra connector does is
take power from a second USB port on the computer in order to double the
power available in the hub to 1000mA. I can't say for certain but I suspect
that your double ended USB cable does the same thing for that external drive
enclosure.

A while ago I bought a small portable external hard drive (the size of hard
drive they put in laptops) and an aluminium casing for it. It was at a
computer fair and i'm not able to go back and ask about it, but the lead
that was included has one end to go to the external hard drive and at the
other end *two* separate usb connectors to go to the computer. One of these
usb connectors is coloured red. Why would there be two usb connectors,
please? Should I use the red one? The neutral coloured one, or both?
