I have had my pair for some years now, yes, you need ac power, you need to put a drive in it, and the USB and FW ports work excellently. 24/7 ops, outlasts a number of other "portable" and "networked" drives.

Yes, This is not a portable hard drive, so it does require ac. I have been using this product for the last 6 months, and I have no problems with it.

According to my wife the answer is no, it must be plugged in. She loves it though.

You cannot charge this device from AC outlet directly. You plug it into an USB power port on your computer, or an AC-to-USB wall adapter to recharge.

No, no ac aadpater was not included. It uses power from the usb connection but like someone else mentioned, it has a mini dc plug. Personally, I have only used the usb for power. No need for anything else.

You need to plug into an outlet for it to work. The outlet is not included.

I use one of these myself, and yes every PSU has to be plugged in to an ac outlet.

NO....you plug it into the wall socket rated at 110 volts or so. Good luck.

You plug it in. You turn it on. Most plugs from what I remember are AC. Strange question.

I don't own the unit yet however yes this does require an AC adapter. It looks to be on the front of the unit in the bottom left corner (look at the 3rd picture you can see it).

No. I do have on plugged in to an outlet which is controlled by a light switch; that's handy.

Hello. There should be a place to plug in an ac adapter on the product so you plug the power into the wall. Hope this helps :-)

I'm not sure, but when I installed a window air conditioner it specifically stated that it must be plugged directly into an outlet. So, this would probably not be a good idea. The item is great for irons, electric curlers, coffee pots, etc.

Yes, you have to plug it into an outlet. I haven't checked, but I think there must be a small bulb inside. It was a gift and I no longer have access to it.

Yes, it does require AC power. It comes with a power adapter to plug into the wall. Very simple unit and does exactly what it sets out to do. I recommend.

No. Also, the AC cord is rather short, so have an outlet no more than 6 ft away

Yes, either by the AC outlot that you need to purchase or by USB cord from a PC.They recommend that you use an AC outlet that has at least 1.5 amps capability, and prefer 2 amps. (NOTE that this is higher capacity than the standard USB chager outlets.)
