The Firecuda Gaming Dock is powered via a dedicated power supply, but Seagate doesn t recommend you use its Thunderbolt 3 ports to feed power through to a laptop. Although you can charge accessories, the 15W supply isn t enough to charge laptops and things that require a bit more juice.
The Thunderbolt 3 cable supplied in the box will keep the Firecuda dock powered for accessories and lighting, even if you power off the HDD storage unit itself. It s good that you have the option to turn off the HDD when it s not in use, not only to save on power but because, naturally, it does emit sound.
