Power supply for hdd enclosure

[harryfoonman]

Hello,

Have an ULTRA external storage enclosure for a 3.5 HDD but the power cord is lost. HDD inside not identified. Clueless what to get for power.

i would say you have two options.

get a new hdd enclosure as they are relatively cheap. some come with a power cable and some come with 2 usb ports.

buy a replacement hdd enclosure power cord. make sure you note what type of end attaches to the enclosure. the actual requirements should be about the same for all single enclosures so a universal cable should work fine.

Did that b 4 seeing ur reply. Option 1 worked exactly as u suggested. Thank you. Sometimes my impatience doesn't end as well.
