I bought this startech X000W69PS1 and surprise md to see it didn’t include a power cable. The manual states no power cable is needed, and it simply uses power from the USB 3.0 port. I am actually only going to connect to a USB 2.0 port and I’m going to connect both spinning hard drives as well as SSD. Does anybody see this as a potential problem and should I rather get an adapter with power? I just have to secure wipe clean 10 hard drives and get rid of them.
