I have a small converter that looks like a normal USB memory

What it needs all that power for I have no idea...
Your mileage may vary !

PS: In windows device manager, switch to connection view,
and you can see the USB current for each connected device.
No need for breakout cables...

You don't need to be in connection view do you?

Its the easiest way to find the hub controlling your device,
which is where you need to look at the power.

Anyhow this does not work in a virtual machine like I am running. My
God, people still run Windows on native hardware? I keep mine locked
tightly is a safe container on the shelf and only open it when needed.

Depending on *which* virtualization scheme you are using
and its USB support, it may work. USB doesn't work in free
VirtualBox for example...
