I have a seagate "backup Plus desktop drive disque de bureau" (USB 3.0 2TB/TO).The information showed 12Vdc voltage, 0.82A, 9.92W. Would you please tell me whether this power works for my drive?

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

O Pharoah. It may be answered best by contacting Rosewill, like I contacted Thermaltake to ask if it would work for my external Tt HDD enclosure. Its specs state: Input Volt Range: 100-240V (Worldwide Compliant) / Output Voltage: DC 12V 2A (1.5A Compatible). The connector needs to fit also, as some power adapters' connectors do not. The description for the product says it is for a Seagate device. It may be quite generic fitting many devices. You could try it. Moses.

Each USB output port can easily handle a USB 3 current load ( which is Greater than USB2 Current load.If your External Drive strictly operates from the USB3( or USB2) data cable that also carries power, it should be able to deliver and operate it. No harm will be done try it. ( Note many External large hard drives also require a separate external DC power connection. Check and refer to your Hard drive manual for it's specification and connections. Good Luck.BobNaz

This enclosure is powered from the FW800 connection. I don't presently have a USB3 interface on any of my computers but suspect it will work there, too. Additionally, I have a 5 volt, 2 Amp supply which came with a much older 2.5" external case that will fire up this drive. The outside ground terminal of the round 5V plug is roughly 1/8 inch in diameter, and that should let you find a suitable supply if you really need one. I have several FW400 and FW800 external drives in cases and rarely need this power supply. USB2 did not have enough power for a hard drive, and that may be why I have this supply. Does this help?

It depends on the enclosure. Some enclosures are capable of powering the drive with just the USB.

i plug in a couple of external drives w/out power source all the time. works just fine. don't know if it'll power more than 2.

The only thing I would use to power hard drives is a computer power supply. I really don't know if this power is clean enough for computer equipment. I believe a hard drive uses the 5v as well as the 12v rail.

Could someone who has one of these drives post the size of the power port on the back? I am interested in getting one of these with an external power adapter, and would like to be able to order simultaneously.

It does not work with a Seagate 1.5TB thick portable drive, keeps disconnecting when read/write to it. When connecting a small drive like WD 1TB, 80% of the time will be fine, but it disconnects as well. No matter what power adapter you use! I even tried to use a powered USB hub. It can read and recognize external drives connecting to a USB hub, but it will disconnect from time to time with no apparent reason.

I am sorry that this charger cannot work with you Seagate 9W2874-560. Hope you find your ideal product soon!

For this technical question I would go to www.seagate.com, and look at the technical specification chart for ST1000DX001 drive.

I don't know the answer to that, as I've never tried it. It might be a proprietary adapter, and only work with the Seagate product.

You should be able to use it for any backup program, it is just a USB ddevice. The power supply does support 240V 50-60 Hz. I installed a 3TB Drive in mine and it works great.

I suppose that it supplies power to the drive. My guess is that the laptop drive I'm using only needs 5V and that it is getting enough current from the USB port. I do not know how much power is really needed or if this usage is correct; I just observed that it works for me.

I put 5 Seagate harddrives, powered up the enclosure and the Cyperpower UPS showed 36 Watt. The harddrives were idle (but rotating).
