Hello,
It depends on which passport we are talking about.
I have the western Digital 80 gb hard drive, and although it is powered by usb, there is a seperate ac adapter you can buy which I did, thinking it might help speed up things and keep it from locking up or taking over ten minutes to do many functions, but this is not the case, it is still as slow. The power adapter, is not a usb adapter, it is a brick like power adapter that plugs in to the wall outlet.
Hope this hels.
Robert

Andy,
This is Joseph. The hard drive is powered by USB, and the
adapter is also
powered by USB.

Hi,

I'd guess that you're not actually charging the drive, just
powering it
from the mains or not - you have the choice of it sucking a fair
amount of
power out your mPower batteries, or plugging it into the mains.
I'm sure I
will be corrected if I'm wrong there ..

regards,

Andy.
