Fantom tfd500u16 What is the output requirement for the power adapter for this drive? Tip size, Power, Voltage

3.5drives require 12vdc at no less than 2 amp recomended 12vdc 3amp it is always best to provide more amp for hard drive keep the voltage correct 12vdc
asme adaptors work out to 4 gig drives all my Western digital drive have same power adaptor no matter the Gig size .

Power usage is stamed on the case.Don't go over recommended power input.It's also marked on the units power adapter as output.THAT's what you want to find out.Whatever the original adapter says for output on the case,is all that's required to operate.

Yes, this model is certainly compatible with Windows 7.
If you've lost the AC adapter and need to replace it, the most important things to look at are:
1) the size of the plug
2) the input voltage of the drive
3) the minimum current in Amperes (A) or milliAmperes (mA) required

For units manufactured after June 1st 2008, these are the requirements:
12 Volts
1.5 Amps
18 Watts

Western Digital recommends only using original WD power adapters.

Tip: sometimes you can find a cheap and original power adapter on eBay or Craigslist or Kijiji.

Mine did the same thing. I heard a wee bit of clicking. I pulled the hard drive from the case and hooked it up to another power adapter and it was good. The power supply was bad.

Good Luck!

Your local Radio shack could help you with a power adapter.

Technical Specifications:
AC input voltage ……120VAC, Output ………9V 2-2.5A Up to 22W

Plug Tip size.......4.0/1.5/12mm

or

Search E-Bay for Duraband PDV-709 they have car or home adapters.

Have you got the original power adapter?
If so the voltage details are printed on the label on the bottom of the adapter.
If the external USB Seagate hard drive houses a 31/2" drive then it requires an power adapter that provides +12 volts and +5 volts both supplying approx 2000mA of current.
If the Seagate uses a 21/2" (laptop) hard drive then it only requires +5 volts power adapter.
The only problem is the power connector to the external drive, make sure it suits the external hard drive unit and the power pins are correctly wired for the Seagate. If the polarity of the plug is incorrect lt wired (ie reverse polarity) then it could damage the USB hard drive and adapter case.

The Atari 2600 adapter has the following information on it:

Input: 120V AC 60Hz 12W

Output: 9V DC 500mA

Positive tip


Make sure you test the power supply before you use it. I have 2 original atari power supplies, and they are both putting out about 15V DC, which may be why my atari's aren't working anymore!

i have one of those hubs the ac adapter is output +5V, and current 0.2 - 2.5A, inside of connector is pos(+), outside is neg(-), input: 100 - 120 Vac and 0.45A Max
