This one should work. http://www.amazon.com/Switching-Essential-S018bu1200150-Ads-24p-12-2-Wa-18g12u/dp/B0038L3OWO/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t

Western digital customer service can give you a better answer. Call them: 1 (800) 275-4932. I have had my hard drive running for some time now. It arrived quick, installed easy and runs like the machine was new, only with more drive space. Highly recommend buying it from Amazon. It was much cheaper than what the local computer guy tried to sell it to me for.. Good luck

Mine looks like a generic Asian power adapter 12V 1.5A. There is a part number 4064-705061-011 AD on a tag fitted to the cord. I did a search on amazon.com and got this AC Adapter Power Supply Charger Cord for WD P/N: 4064-705061-011 AD External HDD However the plug at the hard drive end looks too small in diameter, as the one reviewer found out. However this next one looks right it has more than adequate power spec and the dimensions on the plug match those on mine. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-AC-DC-Adapter-For-WD-MyBook-WDG1NC5000N-External-HDD-Power-Supply-Cord-PSU-/230850539419?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash;=item35bfc3af9bHowever I don't give any guarantee that I am right. PS the one that Rod sent a pic of is exactly the same as mine. Mine looks like a generic Asian power adapter 12V 1.5A. There is a part number 4064-705061-011 AD on a tag fitted to the cord.

Yes. Check your PC it may have an extra power harness but you will definitely need a new SATA cable. FYI: I bought this drive and it died two weeks outside of it's unusually short warranty. Drives should be good for more than two years!

You should be able to replace it without compatability issues but it will not perform at maximum specifications if the interface is not sata III

nope, your drive should be fine. These used to be shown as being OEM (NOT Retail packaging) shipped drives, but I don't see that now. So, if you were expecting a retail box, then return it; otherwise there are no differences.

Check this one too. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009KN1H3W/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1427046651&sr;=8-7&keywords;=dv6-2155dx+hard+drive&dpPl;=1&dpID;=41fwy4lzG5L&ref;=plSrch

I have no idea. You might Google the model number and see what power supply it uses.

It's a typo on Amazon. The drive is SATA III. Hardly any drive are SATA III anymore. Click here -> http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1049&language;=1

Coincidentally, my WD Caviar Green 2TB HDD with the same PCB failed about 3 weeks ago and am also looking for a replacement with the same PCB# as I need to swap to grab the data.

No, it won't even power the hard drive, I tried it and didn't work, probably using the current adapter may work.

I have no idea. But as others have mentioned the power supply is a plug-in so the right adapter might work. However, one point of interest, since my initial glowing review of the product the USB port that was soldered to the hard drive fell apart inside the device. Therefore, I had to call Western Digital and get a RMA# for a return replacement. Uggh...

I am sorry to hear that your product is working properly. I will say this though if you are looking to return the current product for another I would strongly recommend the ex hard drives made by the brand G-tech. Take your time and scour through the product descriptions to find the one that suits you best. When I was looking for a new ex-hhd at the time I purchased this one G-tech was a close second and only because the brands prices were out of my range.

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.

call the company....they are very helpful or email them. I own two of their drives and have been very happy

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.

I'm not sure but I found this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B4LISF8/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1427046134&sr;=8-5π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords;=dv6-2155dx+hard+drive&dpPl;=1&dpID;=41OMEnbJeLL&ref;=plSrch
