Hey Home dogs,

Today I plugged the wrong power adaptor into my external hard drive and the light came on but it wasn't recognized by the computer.

The adaptor said 12V 500mA. And the Hard drive said, 12V 1.5A.

I don't have the proper adaptor with me to see is everything OK.

Do you think everything will be OK? Could anything be damaged forever?

Reply asap as possible.

Hopefully everything will be fine. I won't know for two days though.

Cheers veneers.

It either didn't spin up due to not enough power or tried to but didn't spin fast enough
Any damage that may or may not be depends on how the manufacturer set up the drive to react to insufficient power
My guess is it's all good
