Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The external hard drive is usually powered by the USB. No external power supply is required in most cases. If your device is older or you are going to back up a DVR or battery operated device, the external power supply is needed. The way to power your external hard drive is to purchase a USB hub that has an external power supply. Plug the hard drive into the powered hub and the device you want to back-up.
