Nope it wont... Its just for supplying extra power if ur hdd needs it..

[planetcall]

i've never tried connecting my portable hdd to two diff pcs. but my portable hdd stays permanently connected to my pc. both theusb ends stay slotted in the usb ports... generally with just one, it gives trouble, doesn't get detected
