My main use is on sat boxes with powered external hdd as 2 passport usb types dont work.

Strange checked out the photos and only shows usb connection but lists power supply in the specs,cheers.

Unboxing video here shows an AC adapter.

Mind you, that's provided it is the same model that we get.

I have the same drive, it’s externally powered. Great price for it.

Can this be cannibalised and used as in internal SATA drive? I know a lot of these externals have a custom PCB with non-SATA connectors.

Legend! Purchased. Should house a good fraction of my steam library.

Just to cover our behinds, lol.

It probably goes without saying that cannibalising this HDD will of course mean that you void your warranty.
