Will this power adapter work?

My Cloud Home - Personal Cloud Storage My Cloud Home

Hi.

I am soon going to be receiving a 4TB WD My Cloud Home (single bay) however the seller isn’t including neither power nor ethernet cable. I have the ethernet sorted for now but the drive uses a specific cable (12V 1,5A) and the closest I have is an old dell charger (19.5V, 3.34A, 65W) I am looking to make sure this cable will work and not set the drive on fire. Thanks in advance for any help :]

Why would a Dell charger for laptop work for a personal cloud storage even if you could get the adapter plug to fit?

Why would anyone buy a used My Cloud Home with no power when they can get a Western Digital factory refurbished MCH 4TB for about $100 with a 2 year warranty from the authorized WD Ebay store with free shipping and FREE RETURN?

DO NOT use the 19V charger. This will damage the HDD’s 12V protection components.

My suggestion, buy what is required for your device.
Power Adapters for Western Digital Products (wd.com)

UPDATE: I have purchased a plug with the exact voltage and ampage as recommended
