Yes, it connects directly to the USB port on the thrive. There's no need to purchase anything else.

Everyone else is right; it connects directly to the USB port. If you want to buy something else, consider the military grade screen protector.

It connects to the USB port on the right side of the tablet. The fit is a little tight but the keyboard works well.

I had to cut a hole out of one of the metal clips so that the adapter would fit

My unit came with a power adapter and works fine with both IDE and SATA devices. I am very pleased with it's performance. Some people leave them connected permanently but I do not do this.

Its just the dock. There are 2 adapters - one for the laptop itself and a higher wattage one if you are using the dock.

Nope, its just electronics. Zero issues, but you wouldn't be able to power it (requires two outlets)

It will connect but you have to have another power source. Wish i had not ordered it.

Its been a while since I installed this, but if your computer has a 4 prong plug, it should connect to the power connector just fine. I had a little trouble getting it in the connector case slot to get the case closed, but it finally went. Watch the You Tube video on power connector repair for this model, although he removes the connector from the board a little quick to see, it is not hard to replace. Just make sure to look at the orientation of the pins and polarization fins when you take the old one off. I saved my student $60 with the repair!

By the tone of the previous answers, I believe that they feel you are asking about the power required for the docking station. The responders are correct in stating the docking station needs a power connection. If you are referring to the ability of the docking station to supply power to your laptop via the USB connection, I would have to say that is entirely dependent on the laptop. My laptop (Dell) does not charge with the USB. External power must be connected to the laptop using the power brick. Hope this helps.

Mine didn't, it is plugged into the monitor which provides the power. It's perfect for my setup. I think there's another version of this out there somewhere which has the power supply though, I am pretty sure I saw it when I was shopping for this.

I don't think there is any option for connecting it to anything except the power cord. Maybe if you take it apart. I don't think it is designed to do that though.

No you'll still need a cord to connect it to a power outlet. Something like this http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Prong-Notebook-Power-Cord/dp/B000AV14OK

If I understand your question, the power to my laptop is directly plugged into the wall, not the docking station.

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

no, it goes to a toshiba satellite. it would be better if you bought a universal adjustable power supply with multiple changeable tips, you should be able to gft the tip you need that way. excuse the caps, didn't know they were on, amazon is sure to have one.rod

Hello Susan. No, it isn't it needs to be connected to power. It's very nice but I don't consider it portable.

Yes. However having a dedicated outlet that is GFCI enabled is the safest way to connect the ToTo. The directions also indicate you should do that. However running an extension cord to any outlet will work but not safe.

It is PA3922U-1ACAHowever, it works great for my Toshiba Thrive Tablet. Hope this helps somewhat.

While I used it without the power adapter temporarily, I would recommend plugging this in. It will give you better longevity of the device, and it won't use extra power from your computer. I am not entirely sure whether you have external drives is a factor. I assume you are talking about external HDD or DVD drives?
