Do you (or does anyone) know what the US equivalent DC power supply adaptor is? Mine is lost and I need to buy one. I think mine is 1 TB.

For Reference, the hard drive’s P/N: 10000H1CS-00.

Thanks in advance.

The power supply rating for US is the same rating for all other countries it’s a switching AC adapter good for between 100V to 240V Input and 12V 1.5A Output.

(the only difference is the plug type which you can buy inexpensive universal adapters for a few bucks to convert the plug to your country socket.)

This is my WD Power Supply that came in the box (below)

It’s Australian plug type … but will work fine in the US with a universal adapter
