Does the Lacie mini need to be plugged into a power source or do they draw power from the computer like the triple interface ones?

No, they do not need to be plugged into a power source, and yes they draw power from the computer.

You just plug it into the computer via USB drive and set it up that way and you are ready to go. No other power source needed.

I have mine plugged into a PSU. This is likely the only way to receive power.

You plug it in. I works pretty well. It has better power than the battery operated kind.

if you're asking about the card itself - no. It gets powered by the PCIe bus. If you're asking about the devices plugged into it - it all depends. If you're trying to run something that requires 1 Amp @ 12 VDC - then you need an external power supply for your device. If you're trying to run a SSD/HDD in an external box - then the card on the bus power should power up your device reasonably well.

It uses a cigarette lighter cord for operating power. It plugs into a PC using a micro USB cable for updating the software -- no additional power source required for that.

It has to be plugged in for power source. I've tried using the on board memory and powerpoint player, but it is very slow and not worth it, so I utilize wireless or wired video connection from my computer playing through Powerpoint. This is very fast on and off and much lighter than the wireless LG projector(500lumen) that I purchased and returned because it wasn't nearly as functionally bright in a 40 person conference room, and travels like a brick. The ML 750 has a nice small and compact travel kit for everything.

It has its own power supply. One weird thing about it is that it only turns off when you turn your computer off. And since my Mac is never shut off, this thing has been on since the day I bought it. Doesn't seem to be a problem though.

It plugs into a standard 110 wall outlet. It's like any other computer you would buy only with the large touch screen that makes it like an iPad. Had it 8 months now and it's the best computer I've ever owned.

It is powered by usb through your computer. No other power supply is needed.

It takes one power outlet and is 3 pronged with test/reset buttons on the side. You'll want it plugged into an outlet by itself though, because when it kicks in it draws a decent amount of power.

It is powered via the USB connection from your computer(s). It has worked great for my husband and I sharing two printers between our two computers.

It requires a power source. You can use a BEC, or a (4) cell NiMH or NiCad battery (4.8v-6v)

Require a power supply: No; Batteries: My book says "to provide back up power". Others have mentioned that the batteries don't last to long

NO! It is a powered hub. Having said that, I love these puppies. I've got 5 total in use and highly recommend them. (See my earlier review.) on USB 3 items, they'll draw power from their own power supplies and the computer itself, you DON'T ever want to take a chance of burning out the USB on your puter or the device (Like hard-drives) due to a low power situation, EVER!The plugable 7 port hub is lighted to let you know when the device is properly connected and powered, on each port.
