I have a USB cable with 2 USB A (large flat plugs) at one end and a USB mini at the other end. The second USB A is only to supply power to the HD etc.

Get a Car USB adapter to feed the second USB plug.

This has worked well for over a year now.

Thanks! Seems reasonable to do it like that (nearest powersocket would be the "cigarettelighter" in centerconsole I guess)

I might take my chances though as the HD in question is a seagate goflex and I investigated that it seems to draw only 0,1A normal with a max of 0,5A when connected to my portable mac
