Power injector for USB device

[mister]

Hi all,

Does anybody know where I can get a power injector for a USB hard drive?

My TV does not provide enough power, and I don't want to put a powered usb hub there.

Something like this (plus a power supply) would be ideal:

What I would do to save time is to buy a proper external enclosure that has a 2.1mm DC Female Connector and it should come with a power supply.

I have a stash of 2.5" drives, and I dont want to change the enclosures either...

Does your TV have 2 or more usb ports?

No.

I'm not looking for any solutions besides the one I proposed lol...

I also want a handy adapter I can use to power an external drive when I plug it into my galaxy tablet

Alternatively you could build one with a very simple circuit.
