Hi everybody! I'm not an electronics/electricity expert and need your help with this thing....you see, I lost the power supply for an external harddrive and, although it might show up eventually after I tidy up my apt a bit, would like to buy one in the mean time for I need to access stuff that I have in the drive.
So to the point: the external HDD (the enclousure) shows that its 12 volts and 2 amps.....they have one here in Radio Shack but it's 12 volts and 2.5 amps. Is that a problem? Will it fry my HDD? Also, in the new one you can choose how the polarity is going to go so that's not a problem....only the slightly highr amperage.
What do you think? I reeeeeally reaaally appreciate it if anyone knows! Thanks!!!!!!!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
