Does it need separate power cable? null

No, it uses the USB cable for its power

It does not require a separate power cable. The device obtains it's power through the USB data cable. With that said, I have tried this drive (and others) on a Keyboard USB extension and it failed to provide enough power, so the drive should be plugged directly into the PC or a powered USB hub.
