I have now found the perfect solution.

I'm going to power up the HDD using a USB cigarette lighter adaptor as well as the USB from the 7950. I am assuming this will work well.

It works perfectly.

I got a Cigarette lighter adaptor to USB for less than 200 bucks. It was 500mA. I guess the HDD now gets 500mA from the HU and 500mA from the lighter.

GO for it!
