power to the people ?

[kenny]

I am at last getting ADSL
and I have been advised that the frog?? will use all the power my USB ports can supply.
so I went out to buy a powered USB hub and I ended up buying a hard drive caddy with 4 powered USB ports built in to it.
but now I have a power struggle going on my 300w power supply is not up to the job any more and it looks like I ether lose my floppy drive or buy a new PSU?
is this a common problem with ADSL?
