• Hi, Thank you for your query. The WD Black D10 8TB External Hard Drive requires an AC adapter for power and cannot be powered solely through the USB connection. If you have further questions, kindly open a support ticket at https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb.

• You need an UBS 3.0 for data and a wall outlet to power the unit
