Does this require power adapter to power it?

No. Just two USB ports. One for power & data and another just for additional power.

Kind of. The USB cable coming out of the drive splits into two USB plugs. One for power and one for data. That means you don't need to have it plugged into the wall, but you will need two USB ports available.

Yes, it includes the power supply, but it is not necessary. I have it plugged in to my desktop computer with just the USB connection and it powers it just fine. I cannot speak to the performance of the product on laptops or other portable devices.(edited for a typo)

Yes, the unit has a AC power adapter since it is not a USB-powered device. We'll have to verify the amperage of each USB port.

Not needed, but if you have a lot to go through it does help. Also, you may happen to have a number of these power adapters laying around, you might already have one that works. Check that before buying one.

You would need a power adapter, as it does not have the 120 volt/220 volt capability built in.

No, it does not. Page 4 of the instructions state: "power adapter is not included, please use your own....5v 1A adapter is recommended."

Power adapter is included. The adapter they sent me did not work but they did send me a new one quickly. Hope this helps.

No it does not have any power adapter at all. It's not a very quality item, and we're very disappointed with this purchase since we cannot even use it. Good luck!

I believe this product does not include a power adapter. It requires a power adapter that outputs 12 volts DC (VDC) at 60 watts or 5 Amps purchased seperatly.
