If I use a 12V power adapter, how many amps do I need?

As long as the output is 12V amps do not matter. It's the 12V that is critical.

You only need about 30 watts. 30 watts divided by 12 volts is 2.5 amps of 12 volt DC power.

In the specifications it lists the power requirements:* Input Voltage: 12VDC Power (max): 24W. This means you need a DC power supply that provides a maximum of 12 Volts DC and 24watts of power minimum. Several power supplies can be found on Amazon. So a 12 VDC, 25-30 watt power supply will work just fine.

If it is 12 Volts DC, and the adapter end plugs are the same, it should work fine. Make sure the power supply says 12 Volts DC.

This is nothing more than a 12 volt dc power supply. Check the voltage and current demands of your application and if they require 12 volts dc and less than 2.5 Amps than it will work. If it is AC or more than 12 volts dc or if it requires more than 2.5 Amps than it will not work.

Just emailed Seagate to ask this exact question. Here was their response: The power supply specs are: Power Supply: 12-Volt 2-Amp Output Power Supply Barrel: Outside 5.5mm Inside 2.5mm Note, this is really 2 Amps or more as the device will draw as much power as it needs, but must be 12-Volts only. So a 24 or 36 Watt adapter at 12 Volts with the right barrel size should work fine.

The instructions say that it draws 18 watts. So a 12V 2 amp (or higher amp rating) power supply would run it.

There will be a power station the adapter plug which I think is a 12 volt adapter. Just go to radio shack or the source or electronics store and just get a 12 volt adapter cord

2.1 mm is the industry standard plug size for 12 volts and up to 2 amperes from my experience. Higher amperages might have a larger plug but I am not certain. You will find that size often used on other voltages near 12 volts. Common computer peripherals use less than 1 amp each. Example: .250A =1/4A or 250mA = 1/4A, 500mA = 1/2A. Add the amperages together of the equipment you want to power and you will get a total load. Do not load the transformer, aka power pack, more than 80% of its labeled output capacity.

depends on voltage of your transformer out put- it must be 12 vdcworks fine for me

It is a 50 amp supply and will provide that at 12 volts continually. Your amp needs 120 amps. Oh those specs imply big external capacitors to deliver 5000 watts. It can only take in 1440 watts (120 amps x 12 volts) and they don't create power.

Power adapter has output of 12 volts DC at 2 amps which should be 24 watts. And it will accept 240 volts.

you'll get 12v & 1amp on each channel. If voltage matches, amperage matters little.

do you have a version of this hub that has or can support at least 12V and (4A or greater amperage) or do I need to buy just the power adaptor that can support at least 12V and (4A or greater amperage)

I am using a 3-prong into a 2-prong adapter in my electricity 2-prong outlet. I have 4.50 amps. If you are in another country besides the United States, you would have a different outlet.

I would think it would not be a problem, anything that requires a 12 volt dc power supply should work as long as it doesn't require more than 10 amps

DC. Depends on how many amps that converter is rated for and how many volts at your input. At 12 volt input you will needs to pull 8.3 amps.

Depends on the adapter which I do not have near me at this time. The device is 12v dc powered.
