Good day,

  please, which is the exact power consuption the following external drives? This consuption is printed directly on the disk in manufacturer. I need to know consuption only for USB 2.0 (and optionally only for reading). All the following devices are backward compatible with USB 2.0:

  • WD Elements Portable SE, USB 3.0 - 1TB
  • WD Elements Portable - 2TB
  • WD My Passport Generation 2 - 1TB
  • WD My Passport - 1,5TB
  • WD My Passport - 2TB
  • WD My Passport Ultra - 1TB
  • WD My Passport Ultra - 2TB

Of course, I know about power limit for USB 2.0 which is 500 mA but need to know the exact power consuption.
