The Seagate 4TB external drive does not need a separate power supply. I also find the drive to be quite reliable. I have no problems with these drives, and have used them for data storage and retrieval. There is one wire that hooks right into the USB port, and that is all that is necessary. Hope this helps your decision-making for this product.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This device does not require an additional power source other than the power it draws from the USB port. As for plug and play it will show up within a minute or two on your computer without installing additional software but it does come with install package for support for additional features.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. A separate plugin source is not required. Just the USB into the computer and you’re up and running. I did find that on my HP laptop the USB connection has to be plugged directly into the computer. Using a multi port USB connection causes the drive to freeze when attempting to access files. No issues on a Mac…
