How many amps does a WDBU6Y0040BBK-WESN draw?

Thank you so much! I have it plugged into a Raspberry pi 3 b+ that can output 1200mA total through its USB ports (they’re 2.0). It’s working so well, I was thinking about getting another. Based on your measurements it might actually be ok, which would be nice because that would be two fewer power supplies to worry about.

Thanks again!
