Finishing the project
  • You are almost finished. Reassemble the case and put the screws back on.

  • Print a label that clearly states that your drive now takes 12V DC center positive. Don't call this project finished without this step.

  • You want to avoid any confusion or someone plugging in an old AC power supply to this modified drive.

  • For DC, you can actually go higher in voltage, all the way to 15v, even 18v. The power section of the drive may heat up a bit, but it will work regardless, with minimal risk.

  • Still, you want to stick to DC, not AC so the label is a MUST.
