I got two enclosures suitable for both 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch HDDs. It says on the outside they need 12 Volts and 2 ampere (2000 mA) which, imho, is the same thing. Their power cords+transformator delivers exactly that to the enclosures.
I put a 2.5 inch HDD in it which needs only 5 volts and .75 ampere.
It has been working for a couple of hours now, but what I'd like to know is this:
Will it not damage the HHD in it in the long run? Because 12 volts is too high? Is there a mechanism somewhere which brings the current down from 12 volts to 5?
Note: "brings the voltage down". Volts are voltage. – Kamil Maciorowski – 2018-06-13T13:09:29.707
