Yes it does work for that device. I have purchased it and it still running well.

This power cord says Input: 110-240V-1.5A 50/60Hz and Output: 15V 8AIt does not look like it will work for you.

Do the external drives to be connected to the hub have their own power source? If they are intended to run off of the power of the hub, you may have problems. This is my speculation based on the note under the product description stating the product should not be used with WD passport hard drives. I have several of those, each 1TB, and they run off the power of the hub. Currently, they are plugged into USB 2.0 ports, but they are USB 3.0 compatible products used as "backwards compatible," and run very slowly with USB 2.0, but they run. With USB 3.0, there is evidently a reason they are not supposed to be used. So, I would say it depends on whether the external hard drives have their own power source and, specifically, if they are WD passport drives, the product information I saw said they should not be used with this hub.

Its just a power run. If your psu has enough wattage it'll be fine. Look at the 4 pin power connectors....they're all pigtailed (runs). Explorer sees drives depending on sata/ide...has nothing to do with power connections.

This is meant to make it work like and external drive, it does work. Make sure you call Seagate to be sure you have what I have, and it works with yours: call (1.800.732.4283) this is a US number.

NOT from this seller - I checked both serial numbers on Seagates Warranty Validation page and see "The product you identified was sold as a system component. Please contact your place of purchase for service."I have a failed drive, and no response from the seller - can't send it back to Seagate.. uh oh.

I had the same issue. I even attempted to connect this to a "powered" USB port and still had nothing happen. I recently had the opportunity to test a Seagate Backup Plus Portable 1TB drive, which has a removable USB3.0 to SATA adapter. The Seagate adapter worked perfectly on all the drive I tested (i.e., 2.5" and 3.5" 1TB, 2TB, and 3TB). I'm now looking for a quality USB3.0-to-SATA adapter with a single cable, like the Seagate one.

Good question!, I believe the power supply is standard no matter what drive is placed as long as dimensions are the same. I used this to recover files from a failed HP desktop does the job, No more HP pcs I have had very good luck with Lenovo professional grade pc bought off lease at a fraction of cost and very reliable for $110.00 including OS.

Well I've never mounted this type of drive into and external enclosure but I'm fairly certain (about 85%) that you'll need more power than what a USB 2.0 can supply. Then again, I could be wrong.

Personally i have no idea of electrical stuff, so when i received my drive, I asked the same question to a big local electrical equipment store showing them the specific WD adaptor found in the box (US type). They insured me after observing the specifications at the back of the adaptor that adaptor is compatible and i will have no problem. I just had to purchase a US [ I I ] (flat pins) to EUR [ o o ] (round pinholes) plug converter (that cost me 3 euros). My drive works fine 3 weeks now.

It should work just fine. The voltage on most Hard Drives is always 12vdc. The amperage is key as it looks like this power supply is rated to handle at least 3amps just fine. Looks like a good buy. Clem

I have the 3 TB version and the drive does not say. However, the power supply for the drive says the maximum output of the power supply is 12 volts DC at 1.5 amps. this means the drive must draw less than 18 watts. The power supply never gets hot so I guess it is drawing less than 10 watts.

1, yes. if you power a HD of the 5V USB, it will run at about 5200RPM like a laptop HD. This will slow down your transfer rate. 2. I don't believe this should slow down other USB devices more than normal. Only one device can be accessed at a time anyway,but It all happens so fast you wont notice. 3. Depending on Seagate, normally the enclosure should see it has 12V and not need any power from the USB. Unless your are hanging 40 USB devices off your PC, there should be no power issues with other devices.

Are you using the proper power supply. I was cleaning rearranging my desktop, and inadvertently plugged the power supply from my modem into the laCie drive. It had enough power to turn the light on, but not enough to actually run the drive. I HAVE had a couple issues with my drive. The USB port now routinely disconnects for not apparent reason. Makes it difficult to copy large files.

If you have a Seagate Backup Plus it will work. I use this adapter with a Seagate 3TB Backup Plus and it has worked perfectly for almost a year. Any other Seagate model I do not know because some have different size power supply connectors.

I used a laptop optical drive and it works great. The power resources for a desktop optical drive might be different because it usually has the extra moving parts of the tray that pushes open vs the laptop tray that pops open. I doubt that should make a difference though. If you know how to see what the power needs are for your desktop optical drive though, and it fits the amount given through usb, then it should work fine. My guess is that it would be ok. Since, if the power input is the same plug and pin layout, then it probably follows the same power requirements as well. Don't take my word on that though.

Sorry, I don't know. And I can't look for that hard drive with a serial number, I'd need the model number. If memory serves, and it has been quite a while since I bought this (for a HD at work and I've now retired) it is a circular plug which, as the ad states, provides 12V.

This cable is advertised as a "2.5" adapter. Click the box next to that and change to the 3.5" adapter, and the box will have a power supply in it, along with the cable. This power supply supplies the 12V needed by the larger HDDs, and the adapter then works fine.
