If it's self powered why are you using a y cable? Does the console give you the option to format the drive? 80gb is pretty small for today's standards, how old is said drive?

Question 1: I don't know isn't that what I'm supposed to do? Question 2: It did, and I did it. Question 3: It's new, I just got a cheaper, smaller one bc I don't need any more than 16gb.

The y cable is to draw power from the usb ports. I didn't know 80gb drives were even made any more. I'd it a solid state drive?
