Is the power source 12 volts or 20 volts I have 2 adaptors and cannot remeber which one is for the WD?

It is USB 3.0, no adapter needed, or provided, and there is no place to plug in one even if you wanted to - draws any needed power from the USB 3 port.

I don't know. I just plug mine into a usb 2 port on my desk top. To make it work on my laptop I have to use a usb power adapter that I plug into 120 volts. I think the output voltage is about 5 volts.

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 best answer is that my WD unit liked it. If you have a newer model/version - then I can not answer but I know they would not want to mess with something that is working for now. Besides, it is cheep and if it doesn't work your only out a few bucks.

From my google searching I have found recommendations saying it is 12V 5A Output adaptor: 5.5mm x 2.1mm

Have a look at the back of your power brick (you may need magnifier, I do), it will have an output value saying ___ VDC. If that is 12 or 19 then you should be good to go.

Mine came with "Foxlink" AC/DC adaptor. Input 100V~240VAC. Output 12VDC at 2.0Amp. Looks like a laptop charger. The DVR has two jacks. Input is for the power supply and a second identical jack which outputs 12VDC to supply power to an external camera. Any power supply with 12VDC @ 2.0Amps will work. Just need correct tip. Radio Shack would be first stop or electronics stores if looking for replacement.

The adpter is 12v and 3A. In a review I advised that the 2A adapters DO NOT work with the Seagate drives. They require 3A to work properly. The 2A adapters do not have enough power to make the drives function properly. Hope this helps you!

I believe it puts out both 5v and 12v, but the adapter i received did not work so it was returned

This one works fine. As long as the voltage is the same and the wattage is at least what it requires, it will work.Sine this version of the product is not made by WD, it was probably given a higher wattage in order to funtion with devices requiring it.Hope this helps!

It is a 12v 5.42a 65w power brick, similar to what would be used for a laptop charger. Not sure on the size of the plug. I am running 2 3TB 6GB/s SATA drives and 1 2TB 3GB/s and 1 1TB 3GB/s drive just fine off of this.

Your hard drive probably needs more power (current) than a single USB port can supply which is 5v @ 2A max

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.

both, but keep in mind that the default battery charges from 12v and some new laptops ( vaio for example) have 10,5 volts and an adapter is needed. I owned many backpacks and it's one of the best ones i've ever had :-)
