Does this use a power cable? Or is it completely powered through the USB?

This looks like the Blu-ray burner, I don't see a product # or ID, the Asus Burner uses 2 usb cord one powers the drive and the other is the serial connector to the computer. Do not be fooled by its light weight all plastic make, I've had one and sold over a dozen and all clients as well as myself (And I am brutal on all my electronics) have no issues with them, they are rugged, durable and reliable, ASUS support however is questionable and I would hate to see what happens if an issues occurs. SO You need TWO open USB connectors to use this drive.

Completely powered via USB. Has a double USB cable to plug into two USB ports should your computer not supply enough power. Works like a champ.

Good question, dont remember if it actually does. I pretty much use it via USB power.

Steven it is USB powered but comes with a second USB cable to provide extra power if required. In my experience it seems to be needed. Regards John Docherty.

Yes it needs power. Be sure and push the on/off butting to turn it on. There will be a small blue light show up for each USB you may have plugged in. I haven't had any problems and love it. Very fast with USB 3.

It is powered by a proprietary AC adapter and cable. It is not USB powered, and has no USB ports.

It does not require a power cable. It is recharged with a standard household extension cord. A number of companies are now using this method since a lot of people loose the power cords.Joe

It is powered by the USB connection and doesn't require an additional power supply. It is not wireless and must be connected with the USB cable.

The power cord does come with it. As I remember the USB does not. Great little unit; you'll love it.

Hello - sorry I can't remember if it comes with a usb cable. I already had extras and they tend to get mixed up. It does obviously come with an external power supply.

from what I understand, it now includes a USB cable to power the device, previous versions included a power adapter. I wish there are more details on what else has been upgraded. (if there are other stuff that is)

It uses a single USB plug to power even a 1TB laptop hard drive externally. No extra power needed.

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

The USB cable is the chargerNo power plug though just plug it to any powered USB port

The device has its own power cord. I do not think it is designed to draw power from USB but only to power the USBs in the device itself. Thus the power cord.
