    I'm looking to get an X41 tablet.

    I'm not sure if I want to get an Ultrabay Slim Drive for the dock I'll order, or a USB 2.0 Super Multi-Burner Drive ( http://tinyurl.com/m4tu7 - ibm.com).

    The Super Multi-Burner drive is supposed to be able to function without a power adapter when plugged in to two USB 2.0 ports. But I see that of the x41's 2 USB 2.0 ports, only one is "powered".

    Does anyone know if the x41 tablet is able to power the USB 2.0 Super Multi-Burner Drive without a seperate AC adapter for the drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    Just an update: The sales rep at the university approved store I'm required to order through says the x41 Tablet can power the Super Multi-Burner Drive through it's USB ports (without an AC adapter).
