1. It depends on which drive you get. PG Music has used at least two types of drive. One works just on USB power. The other requires a second USB port or sometimes a USB powered hub.

2. The drive I have is small, much smaller than a My Book.

3. If you install from the USB drive, you have the drive as a backup.

4. If you call PG Music support, they can get you set with your version 7 installation. I'm pretty sure they used CDs by that point. I recommend installing older versions and upgrading because sometimes the older versions came with additional goodies in the form of bonus paks.
