I was wondering if anyone can recommend a USB powered 2TB external hard drive? Speed is not a massive issue as I will just be using it for apple timemachine. I would prefer to have USB power as I am running out of power sockets in my home office.
thanks,

You can get 1TB portable drives. I've not seen anything bigger.

BTW I have upto 24 items powered off 2 wall sockets.
 
If I switch everything on at once, the power on surge is less than 1000W. Once it's all on, the typical power draw is less than 500W. However I don't usually have everything on and the power draw is ~300W.
 
I looked for a large 1TB or ideally larger usb drive, but decided on a Akasa USB 3.0 Duo Dock with a Samung F4 2TB instead, as it came out cheaper.
