My Passport Go - power consumption?

I’d like to use a My Passport Go SSD drive on a Raspberry Pi 4B but I need to know what the power consumption is so that I know whether it will run off the Pi USB port or if it required a powered USB hub. The specs for this drive do not indicate the power usage (in Amps please).
