does it require a power adapter

No power adapter. Just the cable from the external hard drive to the computer.

Nope! You just connect the USB cord into the device you are backing up and it's good to go! Real simple!

It comes with a power adapter (you can plug it right in to your wall outlet).

It actually will plug into a usb port for power. It comes with a 120v to usb adaptor, but should run on anything with a usb output.

Yes, it comes with a power adapter. Be forewarned, however, as there is no on/off switch to the unit. Do not make the mistake I made and keep it plugged in all the time. Fuse blew out on me.

When I bought mine in Dec13, it did come with a complete power adapter. It is heavy duty, BTW. I could not be happier with my purchase. However keep in mind not all sellers have the same stock so read the description carefully. Good luck.

There is no adapter, you are buying only the "base" that comes with a cable, but no power adapter you need to provide your own

Yes, a power adapter is included. Great unit, and it has held up well in our sound setup.

This unit does need power adapter if your HDMI port doesn't produce a power source for it. I ordered it and was about to send it back but Amazon made it right by giving me a power adapter free of charge. This post needs to be changed because the information is incorrect and from my understanding Amazon is working on having this corrected for future buyers.

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

Hi Aaron, I just tried out, and NO, you can not use this without power adapter

No, the power adapter is for the IDE/laptop hard drives. I have recovered data from SATA drives without the adapter in place although I normally leave it connected for convenience sake.

No, it needs to be plugged in as it comes standard. I have no idea if you can buy some kind of adapter.

No. It comes without any power cord what-so-ever. There is a male outlet built into the device itself. You will need to plug an extension cord into it. Hope this helps

No. The power adapter is only needed if the devices connected to it require more power than the port on the computer can provide.

Yes it comes with a power adapter. The batteries actually lasts for hours before it runs out.
