Just as the title states, I want a Y cable that goes from my laptop usb port to my two external hard drives. They both have the same plug. One is a Seagate and the other is Western Digital.

All I can find is one mini usb and two regular usbs.

And while beggars can't be choosers, I want it be as short as possible. I have one regular usb to mini usb cable right now that is like 6 inches long and it's AWESOME!

Thanks for any help!

Trying to run 2 external HD's on a single cable will only crash the computer. That is why you can't find any.
