2.5" HDD casing upgrade

[jq75]

currently using a old casing for my 2.5" IDE portable Hard Disk tt requires a power port and mini usb port to read hdd, at times i think its not drawing enough power, can hear the spinning sound from hdd

is it still possible to just buy an new ide casing with just micro/mini usb connection, no need the power port?

Not enough power mean Not recognized hard drive
Did you install usb port driver in motherboard.

The USB3.0 ones are usually pretty powerful enough.

Its plug & play
I don’t think is driver issue
It’s detected, but not enough power to run the drive

The 50g drive only half used though
Thus thinking change casing for less hassle when connecting to pc
