Where can I find a new Maxtor One Touch 4 Power Adapter?

I need to order a replacement power adapter or a Maxtor One Touch 4 500 GB, but I don't have access to the actual power adapter, the client misplaced it and I need to have a new one before going on-site. Does anyone know where I can order a replacement that will match?

Thanks!

Any similar AC -> 12v DC adapter with supplies at least 3 amps and has the right connector will work.

Thanks, I saw that E-bay listing but was not sure if there was a more "official" place to order it from. I'll go with the E-bay one. I figured any similiar 12v adapter would work, but I didn't know if buying the wrong one could short it out and since this is for a client's backup drive, I wanted to be sure!

PCBonez is 100% correct that any 12V DC - ~3A power supply will work. The only issue you'll run into is finding the right type of connector that plugs into your laptop. There are probably ~20 or so connectors that may look like they would work, but have different size diameters and inner diameters. I couln't find anywhere that specified what type it is. Maybe you could call Maxtor and ask. Then you could buy any generic one that had the correct connector.

Well I ordered that E-bay A/C adapter that claimed it was a "Maxtor OneTouch 4 Power Adapter" so I can only hope they are right!

Thanks, points split up! My only fear was using the wrong charger might short out the drive or something. I guess as long as it powers up, it's good? Thanks!
