do these hard drives plug in?

You have to unscrew the back panel where it goes. Take out the old drive. Remove the metal plate and attach to the new drive and then plug it back it. It was really easy to do. I hope that helps.

yes they will, I have a 3 tb WD, a 2 tb Fatom,and a 1tb HP they all work fine, and and any thumb drive that I plug in syncs right up.Some of the thumb drives are usb 2.0 , no problem

Pretty much. My friend and I were discussing this when my hard drive was failing. Basically, these hard drives are just refurbished of hard drives and they put them into the external hard drives (like these).

Yes but not "Green" harddrives. Didn't realize this until I tried to get one to work.

Yes they do. We purchased 3 of them for our church and they are plugged into regular outlets.

You have SATA cables that connect your HDD to the Mother board. Then you will have a 5 wire ribbon cable with multi drive plugs for the HDD's and the end plug will connect to your power supply. I hope this helps . . . Bob

Yes, they are USB and external so you can switch between computers very easily. Unplug and switch to the other computer (you should power down/ unmount the hard drive before unpugging). If you go from MAC to PC you may have a formatting issue, but there is free software that can handle that (HFSexplorer). Easiest setup is to make sure the hard drive is formatted NTSF (I believe they are formatted that way from the factory). Great drives, last a long time, good quality.

Yes, You many need a drive cable if it doesn't come with the second hard Drive. There will be a power connector already there.

This hard drive comes with an external power supply module that plugs into a wall outlet. It is not a wall-wort but is a 4 x 2 x 1-inch block that comes with a removable cord that plugs into the wall and a second cord that will plug into a power connector on the hard drive unit, both cords are long enough to allow convenient connections. These are very good drives, I have four that are working very well. If your computer provides external eSATA connections, the drives that can accept this interface are MUCH faster than the USB 2.0 drives.

The only thing I would use to power hard drives is a computer power supply. I really don't know if this power is clean enough for computer equipment. I believe a hard drive uses the 5v as well as the 12v rail.

I have not had any problems plugging USB hard drives or memory devices into mine.

they plug into a standard molex 4 pin (ide HD Style) power port. They also com with a switch you mount in an open slot in your case (the back of the case where the i/o slots are.

No! You only open the lateral slot and connect the hard drive! The rest he do it itself

Yes. I have connected multiple external hard drives to this hub. It is a powered hub and will power drives that are not externally powered themselves (Drives which have only a USB connector and no DC adapter input).
