New M.2 SSD Drive - USB Power Surge
Hi all,
I just purchased a new M.2 512GB SM951 Samsung SSD drive to replace my existing SSD (256GB) in my XPS 9550.
So I wanted to clone my existing hard drive so I purchased an M.2 USB 3.0 enclosure. Every time I connect it I get the error message "USB Power Surge on Port - USB needs more power" - or something to that effect.I tried purchasing a USB 3.0 Splitter cable so had it plugged into two USB sockets - that didn't work. I then purchased a powered USB hub - that didn't work either!!!So i'm at a bit of a loss here??
I tried uninstalling the USB drivers, and restarting the system like some suggestions on the web but no luck.
So I'm all out of ideas here!!
Can anyone make a suggestion because i'm all out of ideas and this is driving me nuts!!
Thanks !!!
