Hi There. I dont get an usable answer from WD Support. I need a power supply for the MyBook Essential 2. My old one shows output of 12V 2A = 24W.
There is not the same available at the WD store, only 18W or 66W.
What should I do?
Thank You!
Hi Dr.D,
As I can check the specification of the power adapter which comes with the My Book Essential Edition 2.0 is:
- 12 volts
- 1.5 amps
- 18 watts
- Type A
- Type: NEMA 1-15
- 5.5mm outer-diameter
- 2.5mm inner-diameter
- Outer Connector (-)
- Inner Connector (+)
Hi Alex. ty for your reply.
The delivered one is 24W.
Can I use also another one which has more output? (12V 3A = 36W) Or will this damage something?
Hi Dr.D,
You can use the 24W, 36W might damage the drive due to high output.
Yes, ty again. but my 24W is broken and I got to get a new one… if the 36W is too high, maybe the 18W is too low?
