Is this hard drive dual voltage? Can it handle 110 and 220?

hi the fantom drive actually is powered thru an "ac adapter". the drive itself is rated @ 12V@2amps. it comes with its own power adapter and the input rating on "the adapter is:110-240volts 50-60Hz" the output to the drive is 12volts @1.5amps perfect for the drive. this adapter will not plug into a special 220 receptacle but looks as thou it can handle the voltage as you might find if you travel. the documents do say NOT to try other adapters as this may damage the drive. so actually it does not handle 110 or 220 as it is rated at 12 volts. the adapter is not a polarized plug if you are wondering that. hope this helps. hi the fantom drive actually is powered thru an "ac adapter". the drive itself is rated @ 12V@2amps. it comes with its own power adapter and the input rating on "the adapter is:110-240volts 50-60Hz" the output to the drive is 12volts @1.5amps perfect for the drive. this adapter will not plug into a special 220 receptacle but looks as thou it can handle the voltage as you might find if you travel. the documents do say NOT to try other adapters as this may damage the drive. so actually it does not handle 110 or 220 as it is rated at 12 volts. the adapter is not a polarized... » Read More hi the fantom drive actually is powered thru an "ac adapter". the drive itself is rated @ 12V@2amps. it comes with its own power adapter and the input rating on "the adapter is:110-240volts 50-60Hz" the output to the drive is 12volts @1.5amps perfect for the drive. this adapter will not plug into a special 220 receptacle but looks as thou it can handle the voltage as you might find if you travel. the documents do say NOT to try other adapters as this may damage the drive. so actually it does not handle 110 or 220 as it is rated at 12 volts. the adapter is not a polarized plug if you are wondering that. hope this helps. « Show Less

Yea, this is most definitely not dual voltage although it says so. I took it to Europe under the assumption it was. I also used a converter and it still died on me.

Hello Pedro,It is dual voltage. I bought my unit in the U.S. and use it in Peru where we have 220 volts AC.Regards,Rodrigo

No, it is not dual voltage. But this product can be used if you either purchase or borrow a converter from the hotel you're staying at.

Hi, I have this computer connected to 110 v grid. However computers as this one can work in any grid from 220 to 110 v. The AC to DC transformer can handled both. I hope this helps. Regards

The Acomdata Samba is an excellent product. However, a simple and safe solution would be to PURSCHASE A POWER VOLTAGE CONVERTER for it to run on 110-120v not 220-240v. NOTE: When my desktop computer froze and was deemed unworkable, I took out the "bad" hard drive placed it into Acomdata Samba and retrieved all my stored files/information! Then I placed a new hard drive in the dead computer and reinstalled the operating programs. No need to pay a ton of $$$$ to a geek to save files on the "dead" hard drive, as the Acomdata Samba did it for me. But be safe and buy the power voltage converter.

It is specific to a WD external drive. You must check the specs of the Seagate drive and ensure the AC adapter you purchase matches exactly in "milliamperes" and voltage, otherwise your drive will either not work or be harmed or both.

I cannot address your specific application, but I am using an ADP 12V 1.5A 100-220V power adapter with an older 200GB Maxtor HDD. If the requirements of your Seagate HDD fall within the range of the APD power device you are considering, it will likely meet your needs. The requirements should be found on the Segate drive, the product literature or be available directly from Seagate. Hope this helps.

Yes. This can support both 220v and 110v.You can change main power using switch.

no 110 only.i bought two and both the dvd motor to eject went out within a month.junk

Hi, Yes it is 110 voltage. It does not have dual voltage, so you would need a converter and adapter to use it in places like Europe or South America. Though personally, I love it so much, I would not want to risk it overheating, so when I was in Brazil for business, I used the dryers provided by the hotel.

No, it won't even power the hard drive, I tried it and didn't work, probably using the current adapter may work.

No it is 120 only. The simple solution is to purchase a converter that is readily available so all of your personal appliances can easily be used with 220 when you travel. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_8?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=120%20220%20converter&sprefix;=120%20220%20,aps,368&rh;=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A120%20220%20converter

I have no idea. Your model is not one they covered in the comparable seagate products. If the voltage is right then there is a good chance the plug that goes into the Hard Drive id the right size but that is no guarantee.

The only thing I would use to power hard drives is a computer power supply. I really don't know if this power is clean enough for computer equipment. I believe a hard drive uses the 5v as well as the 12v rail.

No it's not a dual voltage. You would have to step it down to 110 with a converter.
