Do I need an adapter (the one recommended) in order to power on unit?

You need an adapter (or batteries) but not that specific adapter. It's a fairly generic jack?/plug. I think I have several that fit. R

I ordered mine from Musician's Friend awhile back and it did not come with the power (AC) adapter. You can power it up with batteries and it works great, but if you plan to use it for an extended period I would recommend getting the power supply. Mine did not come with the unit and as far as I know it is still not included when you purchase. I ended up buying the recommended adapter just to avoid getting something that wouldn't work correctly but a lot of people found cheaper adapters that apparently worked just fine.

No, it will run off of 4(AA) batteries.. and does not affect the performance of recorder...

It runs on batteries, but can run on AC if you buy an adapter. Mine is still just sitting here, I can't figure out how to get the stuff off the card once it's full...aghhhhh!

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

If you don't want to use batteries you need an adapter, not necessarily the recommended one. Just check the electric specs, there's a compatible PSP adapter (I bought one that doesn't fit EXACTLY tight but "electrically" it works fine).

You need an adapter if you don't want to use batteries. I used one for a PSP and it works great.

You can use adapter but make sure that the current and voltage both are good for this device.That means you should check the power output of your adapter which must be same or more than the power (Wattage) of this device.

It comes with an AC adapter of appropriate specs, having the appropriate connectors. I would not try to power any modern device from any supply other than that original provided.

You need to connect its included power adapter to one of the power connectors on its included power/data cable.

My son, who installed it for me said it needs an adapter for it. I don't know what it is myself, sorry.

There are listings that show a power adapter suitable. I do not have one, but it is avaiiable.

you must provide power BOTH the HD and the adapter...use the supplied plug for the adapter and a standard plug for the HD. If you have it correctly hooked up the adapter will light up.

What are you trying to hook up.....that would determine if you need adapter or not.

No adapter needed. Only tool needed is a small philips head screwdriver. If there is a 250 or 500 memory in the socket, remove that and slide in the new one. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. There is an instructive video on utube that is helpful. Charlels

I did not receive a power supply with my unit. I don't know that its needed. I have had my HDMI switcher for a year now and it always selects the active port. I have a Blue ray player, Kindle and laptop connected to it.

No you do not - simply connect it to the GPIO headers on a raspberry pi. The connector on the bottom is where the unit draws power from.

Unit requires 12VDC to operate. Any off the shelf 12VDC power supply or wall adapter rated 500mA or greater should be capable of powering the unit.

I just plugged it in with no adapter, and it works fine. I'm sure you could use an adapter as well.

you do not need an adapter! Watch this video! it helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5RprTUro1Q

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.

You can use the 8 pin power cable if you have it available the one provided is just an adapter if your power supply doesn't have 8 pin connectors.

Yes, there is a power adapter with the unit. I did not try to power my Pi with it though.
