This does not come with a power source, you're gonna have to buy a PSU separately. There are three slots for 5.25 inch drive bays, which you can put disc drives into.

It does come with a CD so you can set up all the parameters. It has a 12vdc power supply that I had to splice a long piece of two conductor wire to have it placed where I put it. It should take you less than an hour to put all your specific info in.

Although the user manual does not say that it needs a power source, it came with a USB cable. I was not sure why, later I noticed that the device has a mini USB port on the side. I had it connect to my Cable box that has a USB port. The device did not work properly (it kept flickering) without using USB cable. It works perfectly now.

Yes, a power supply is included. It is a little box in-line with the power cord.

The unit comes with its power supply, and needs to plug the power supply into the wall, the other end into the rear of the unit. Then attach the USB cable. The accompanied software may or may not be used. I have had no problems with this unit operating properly, re-write CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays.

It has and requires an external power supply. I purchased this particular external drive because I needed an external drive that had its own power supply to get files off of an old laptop computer that only had USB 1.0 ports. USB 1.0 ports are old technology do not provide enough power to an external drive. It was by far the easiest way way to recover and save those files to use this self-powered external drive. There were other ways, but this was a simple solution for me. Moral of the story is that a separate power supply is not always a detriment.

Power source is not USB. Comes with 12 VDC power adapter. Has two different data interfaces: USB 2.0 or eSATA. Use either one at a time, but not both. I have found the USB interface to be more reliable, although a bit slower, but not by much.

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.

It has a disc drive on right side. If you have a WiFi connection available it has capability to connect to it.

YES and NO. It does come with a USB cable that may provide power. It also has a 5 VDC jack to provide power IF you purchase a separate adapter.

Yes, it comes with a power supply and also three mounting screws and detailed instructions for setting it up. It does not come with a 9 volt battery for backup.

I am quite satisfied. It is small. It works. You have to have it connected to a computer to make a disc eject. There is not manual switch.

The E6420 that I received came with a read only DVD drive, there are RW drives available so it could possibly have one of those. It did come with the power brick.

Yes. If your drive has a power connector, you plug it in there, either directly or with the supplied adapter. There are 3 photos that show the complete setup clearly for different drive types, with instructions for each.

Yes, it comes with a power cord, which connects to an usb port. It has eSATA and USB 3.0, but I was not able to test eSATA, as I was not able to get my estat to work on my older enclosure, so I did not test it. USB 3.0 works.
