• Power Supply Specification: The unit includes a dedicated external power adapter rated at 12V / 2A (12 Volts multiplied by 2 Amps equals 24 Watts).
• Drive Consumption Requirements: Large 3.5-inch mechanical hard drives require an average active power draw of 6W to 9W each, with temporary spin-up spikes briefly reaching up to 15W to 25W.
• Design Overhead: The external 24W power supply provides stable overhead to handle the simultaneous startup current demands of two high-capacity drives, the built-in offline cloning hardware controller, and the ambient RGB base lighting without dropping connection stability
