Or one that has many USB ports on the same internal hub, and between all
the peripherals you have attached, you've over-reached the limit.

I don't like USB-powered disc drives, for those reasons.  They need just
all the power that's possible for a port to supply, and anything else
taking power pushes it over the limit.  Some drives come with a USB
Y-lead, to take power from two ports, but that's not going to help in
some cases, and it bothers me that I don't know whether they'd dumbly
wired the power lines directly together, or have safely joined them
(through something like diodes).
