“I have a 1tb that I use to watch movies by setting it up to my tv via usb. Can I do the same w/ this? Will it still need the power cable? My 1tb just works when I plug it in but not sure if the bigger ones are different.”

Laptop USB drives are powered through the USB port. Desktop USB drives require a power cord plugged into the wall to function.

Sorry. You have to plug this into power. It won't operate solely off your laptop

No this drive has its own power supply, it is not powered by the TV. You should look for a drive that says “portable”
