No, it just pushes on to the drive and plugs into the USB but I found that is doesn't always remain firmly attached to the drive.

No, it does not come with a power supply. You will need to buy memory, a hard drive or SDD for storage, a computer case, and a power supply.

It came with a power supply. I do not remember if it came with a usb cable, it uses a standard usb cable.

No power supply. You can purchase one fairly cheap or use an injector. Unit works great hoeever it is powered!

No. The power supply is not included. We are using POE (Power Over Ethernet) to power the unit.

Yes, power supply is included. By the way, it's an american-style plug, so if you live elsewhere (e.g. I'm from Europe), an adapter may become useful.

You will need to buy the power supply separately. Be sure you purchase one of correct voltage and amperage.

Mine DID NOT come with a power supply but there is a port for a 5 volt power supply

No external power supply is needed. It is "plug & play". It gets power from the computer's ExpressCard/34 slot.

No. It's powered by a small AC to DC adaptor. You do need to factor that into the installation.

No there is not a power supply with it but I consider that a good thing. Keeps the price lower and allows me to buy on that fits my needs. Like a 500 watt wouldn't be nearly enough for my build but might be for yours. If it came with a stock PS it'd probably just end up another unused spare in the back of the closet.

No. It's powered by the pcie connection. It has an optional power supply adapter, but its not necessary.

no you have to plug it into a power source. that's the only way it will work.

Yes, it does need a power source and comes with the cord. Probably would not work for you. It is a nice little unit though.

No it does not come with a power supply. It us powered by the laptop itself.

It does not come with a power supply. You will need to provide 120VAC to the unit. There are several ways this could be done, but I took an extension cord and cut off the female side hard wiring it to the unit. Then I just the plugged the male end into an outlet.

Nope! It runs on the USB power so all you need to do is plug it into your PC.
