Does this drive work with anything, meaning it works without an Xbox, Correct?

I plugged it into my Mac USB and it worked. I then shucked it and installed the drive directly into my mac. It's a helium enterprise 7200rpm HC520 drive. The drive is effin fast. At install, it was 250/250MB/sec.

Can you use them as internal drives?

I shucked one and it works just fine but I also have one external on USB3 and both perform just about the same... 200-250MB/s

Is the maximum output of the charging ports 7.5 watts or can I pull 15 watts if I only have one device attached?

The maximum output of the charging ports is 7.5 watts each.
