One USB 3 powered port is sufficient. USB 2 *may* require a port with supplemental power, or two USB 2 ports depending on the USB ports in your computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will work on one powered USB port. It does come with a USB splitter cord if you have an older USB port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I thought I needed two ports as the instructions were not clear, so I started with two. Then I tried it with just one, and it has worked to PLAY both DVD and Blu-Ray. Haven't tried to write anything yet, so I don't know if it will need extra power to record.
