Will this automatically turn on everytime I turn on my computer? or will I need to push the power button all the time? Thanks!

you'll need to push the button to turn on and off. it does not sync to the computer being on or off.

You need to use the button because it doesn't receives from USB port but from an AC power outlet.

I have two of them and love them. I believe the power button is binary: either on or off. However, I do know that drives do power down when the unit is powered on but the computer is sleeping. And they spin back up correctly when the computer wakes up.

Rom, It is up to you. If I do not power it off by pushing the button, then when I turn off my PC it goes into stand-by mode and will automatically power back on when I turn the PC on again. I normally turn it off before powering my PC off, and so I need to turn it on again when turning my PC on again.Best,Chris

The enclosure has it's own power supply, so once you turn it on, the drive will stayed powered on regardless of whether the computer is on or off.

It doesn't have an automatic power on/off for sure. The normal power switch that's in that back doesn't really need to be switched off when not in use, no but if you do turn it off it won't be a problem.

There is no external power button. A shortcoming for sure, but what I did was set my computer to startup at a specific time each day in the schedule settings under power control in the system preferences.

There is an on/off power switch but you can easily leave the switch to 'on' and utilize the USB cord as a power cord, so that when you plug it into your computer it will automatically kick on.

You will need to use your laptops power button. I do it everyday but it's worth it.

I'm sorry, your question about a power button, has no reference to the item. If you are to the shell kit I purchased the Answer

Yes, you need to hold the power button when using it. It is easy to use though - it is like a trigger that you hold.

Mine automatically powers on when the power is turned on to the unit. I don't have to push the power button to turn it on. I just have one camera hooked up and it automatically uses that camera. Input 1.

When you use the built in remote, you press power and it turns on. Then when you remove power it turns off. However when you put power back it will REMEMBER the remote was set to ON, so it turns on as soon as power is applied. No need for the remote after that.

There is no power button on the unit, you just plug it in, make sure to attach the power wire to the init before plugging it into the wall. If you have a way of controlling power to the outlet via switch/remote control or what ever it should power the unit on and off. But if it is off it will not automatically connect to your bluetooth device when you come home

Hope this answers your question; If you turn it off by holding the power button down until the display goes off, then it will do what I call cold boot, several seconds with Dragon logo etc. If you just quickly press and release, it will start immediately the next time you turn it on. When you say reboot often, do you mean spontaneously? If so I've never had that problem.

If you have a power failure, it must be turned on again when re-powerig-up your computer. For a simple shut-down or restart, you needn't do a thing.

I plugged it into an outlet that is controlled by a switch. It came back on automatically when I switched it on and off. I'm guessing that means that it will also turn on automatically after a power failure.

I am in agreement with Thomas. I have been fortunate I guess, mine comes on every time. I would verify your power connection and cable to ensure it is not faulty. The power input is just a mini-usb which can be an easy and cheap replacement.

I believe the button will need to be manually pressed as the power does not come on to the unit just by plugging it in. If you have frequent outages, have you considered using a UPS (universal power supply) to connect it, which can keep it running during short outages... In which case if the power comes back on shortly thereafter you won't need to manually restart since it won't have quit in the first place?

Mine took a little while to turn on. You need to press hard on the power button

The product should power on immediately upon receiving power. In the worst case, you'll have to turn it on with the included board once, and then it should behave the way you want it. I built this into a case of mine not too long ago and needed this behavior.
