If I use this in a laptop, do I need to buy a separate power cord?

If you use it for external hard drives yes but for dongles than no you don't

No, with power cable means it has the power brick. You'll still need a short laptop power cable for the brick to the wall. No power cord has no power brick

Have to be purchased separately. Comes with power and USB cord, nothing else.

Apparently it does not... after some more searching yesterday, I found a web page saying that the best way to do it is to buy a universal laptop power supply.Hope that helps!John...

I have no idea-I think if you just have the USB port, you should be good to go. You do need the power cord too.

No - it has a 12VDC digarette lighter output...you could get an inverter (about $20) to plug into that and power your laptop, though.

Yes, they are separate power cords. So you do need two outlets. Which was the only downside to me. I thought the combined one was nice b/c of one cord, but to big and not as flexible to move around.

a good chance you will need a powered usb hub, but otherwise, yes it should. I've not found a laptop usb that can power it without the hub. However, the powered usb hub I have will power it, but only if the hub is not plugged in!!???!! Yeah, but expect some trial and error... good luck

All you need is a standard power cord. The other devices you will add (printer, monitor, etc.) will have their own cords to attach to the computer.

that depends on the seller you need to investigate that matter. power cords are sometimes sold separately. mine was separate I had to pay additional for it.

No, Not for powering a laptop. It's good for cellular phones, IPads, tablets, etc.

I don't know if it requires a specific one, but the power input is fairly standard and I was able to swap out a similar cord with a US plug. works just fine. Its similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gateway-Toshiba-Adapter-Notebook/dp/B002JS96UG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405108515&sr=8-1&keywords=ac+2+prong+power+cord

I asked the same question to the Digitech web-site, since a power cord adapter is not included and is an optional item. They told me that using a power cord that is not recommended by them could cause damage to the unit.

No, only a USB cable and a USB to DC adapter (in case you want to give it extra power directly from the laptop).

Yes, provided you use your laptop near an AC outlet; the external drive has its own wall-wart power supply. If you want an external drive that's as portable as your laptop, look at the many small portable hard drives that are designed to draw power from the laptop's USB port -- or in some cases, two USB ports for full-speed performance.

I don't think so. It didn't come with a power cord. I've only been able to find 1 power cord that works.
