Power Supply For External Hard Drives

  Does anybody know how to use a stand-alone power supply to provide
power to additional hard drives connected to the motherboard, in other
words these are not external hard drives with their own power supply.

 
Why not just connect them to the main power supply, just as you connected the
data cables to the internal bus cables?  If that is too small, replace it with a
bigger one!

Most people would get an external enclosure that comes with its own power
supply, but it sounds like you didn't do that...

I suppose you could buy another computer PSU and mount it outside the case
somehow...

That's what I am asking about! There is only so much power that the
installed power supply gives out, so I want a few hard drives with
their own power supply, but connected to the motherboard for speed.

You coul dhave something like this but if you buy this you would have
too much power...You may aswell just buy a more powerful internal PSU
I upgraded to a 550W 2 months ago and was very cheap...
