Hard drive power supply

[cruiklaw]

Hello,
the power supply for an external USD EIDE hard drive failed. The output is 12V - 2amp, 5V - 2amp. Are those available and if yes, where?

You could probably buy a new USB enclosure cheaper at Newegg.com.
This is for 3.5" drives.

I agree, finding the right power supply can be tricky and in the end you'll probably end up paying pretty close the the cost of a whole new enclosure.

Not being able to locate one, I bought a new enclosure with power supply included. About $30 with our state sales tax (10%)
Thanks for the offer!
