[MinnowBoard] J2 for powering a ssd

[Thiago Tenório Jordão de Vasconcelos]

David,

Don't do that unless your drive get less than 0.5A and/or your powered hub
allow more than 500ma draw.
Don't forget that every USB out is rated 500ma.

I did that using a cellphone charger rated 2A for my drive. xD
