It depends on the form factor of the disk itself.

If it's SATA or (E)IDE on any other form factor (SATA 2.5" laptop/3.5" desktop or IDE 3.5" desktop disks) then they'll need a dedicated 5/12V power supply that usually can be provided by a computer's power supply unit or via a special power brick (if you're using a SATA/IDE to USB interface).
