Power Supply for 1TB Simpledrive (designed by Pininfarina)

[Franc Zabkar]

Now i need to track down a replacement 12V/5V supply to replace a bad one that
wont output enough amperage to run my external case. It has a typical 4 pin
mini DIN

My PSU (model JHS-Q05/12-S335, 6-pin mini DIN) is rated at 12V/2.0A +
5V/2.0A while my Seagate hard drive is rated at 12V/0.52A and
5V/0.72A.

However the PSU's plastic case feels very warm, even when the drive is
idling. Somehow I think the PSU's rating is very optimistic.

Here is the label:

The PS i have that is underpowered is a GFP252-0512


I have found replacements online but i am not willing to spend the $30-$50 for
one. I have found a 12V/5V 2A supply at a local goodwill type store. I will
just likely take the cable from the bad supply and solder it onto the
replacement supply at its PC board.
