With the normal cable you only connect the HDD and the Wii U via 1 USB port. With the Y cable you use 2 USB ports, giving the hard drive basically double the power.

The power comes straight from the Wii U then...yes?

The power being output by a single USB port on the Wii U doesn't supply enough to keep the HDD running, so you need to use 2 to give it sufficient power (the HDD doesn't have its own power supply).
