I have seen MANY USB ports that do not supply sufficient power for 
USB drives [platter], .. could the power requirements for such a 
large thumb drive cause a prorlem?

formatting. Would it not be simpler to just get a different thumb 
drive? I have a couple of dozen under my monitor, ,.. of varying sizes.
