plugged into host and power into power source. Client would think he gets power
from host.
I remember I had once such a thing. It came with an external hdd-case.
It looks like this: http://amzn.to/2nAXC4E
Unfortunately I can't find it, and I couldn't test it anyway, because I can
see from that external hdd-case that it's an edgy mini usb plug, not a round one.
Could somebody tell me what the exact term for the mini usb plug is the Max2 features?
And what are the big (original/old) ones called, because for that I have an adapter that
fits into the Max2.

Inudaisho, does the chinese source point out how to mount an external storage
over OTG without being root?

EDIT: I guess this one would fit?

Why do all these Y-cables have micro female plug for power source?
