I use the belkin usb2 pcmcia card which comes with the optional power adapter.
I have never used the power adapter when using the usb2 ports!

Belkin, Mercury, and USBGear are all optional...some devices draw more power than the card or system bus can supply, and only in those instances would you need it. USB Scanners (which seem to draw the most power on hubs) worked on all three brands with Sony VAIO's, HP's, and Toshiba laptops tested in our shop.
