Title: [BFL] Jalapeno, Powered by Wall? Or USB... Post by: Fiyasko on October 28, 2012, 02:36:47 PM Okay i've read Alot of back and fourth banter about How the Jalapeno BFL ASIC will be powered.
Some say it will (need) use 1 USB connector Some say it will use two USB connectors, As a safeguard. Some say it will use a DC barrel plug to power it Some just say "its USB POWERED jackass" Some just say "USB power has a huge limit" Title: Re: [BFL] Jalapeno, Powered by Wall? Or USB...

Title: Re: [BFL] Jalapeno, Powered by Wall? Or USB... Post by: BFL on October 28, 2012, 03:06:53 PM The Jalapeno draws it's power from two USB port connectors. Both need to be connected to achieve the full 4.5 GH/s performance. (At the users discretion, a single USB connector can be used if it has a 2nd head split off as is common for use with laptop DVD drives).

I have had external 2.5" HDD's like this....... Title: Re: [BFL] Jalapeno, Powered by Wall? Or USB...
