WD Elements 4TB WDBU6Y0040BBK-WESN Please, can someone tell me how many amps this drive draws via the USB cable? Thanks!

How many amps does a WDBU6Y0040BBK-WESN draw?

USB 3.0 draws a Maximum of 900 mA

I’ve got a USB Voltage/Amp/Watt tester and don’t even get close that under load (eg. playing a 4K UHD movie …420 mA)
