Default Does the Kingwin ATK-25U3-BK USB 3.0 2.5" enclosure require external power?

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...-5.htmlI'm looking to buy a USB 3.0 enclosure for my 2.5" hard drives that I have at home. One of the reasons why I prefer 2.5" hard drives is because when placed in a USB 2.0 enclosure, I don't need a separate power source to power it up. Everything is powered by USB.Now, looking at the picture, it appears that there is a port for power. Am I mistaken? I certainly hope so because I don't want to get an external enclosure that ultimately requires a separate power source. It'll be really annoying when I start travelling later in the year.So does anyone have this or any other USB 3.0 2.5" external enclosure and can confirm that everything is powered via USB?
