| Don't have time to look at this particular moment, but you need to match the voltages and make sure the current (amps) is at least the same as the old one. |

OK...
the HDD that is on the link has it's own power supply and is rated 110-240VAC so I am wondering why you are replacing the power supply that came with it.
All that specific HDD (with it's own power supply) requires is a simple plug adapter to be used anywhere on the planet.
What are you trying to do, where are you going with it and where are you now?

I lost the power supply in a move, like a dumbass. I require a North American plug which is what it came with anyhow (I was using an adapter in Korea).
Would the one from amazon.com work?? |

It is impossible to tell from the information if the one from Amazon would work because the OUTPUT of the adapter is not given and neither is the DC input requirements of the HDD.
On the back of the HDD there should be a label showing the plug polarity (+/-) and listing the input (eg: 12VDC, 1 amp). You will need to match that with the output of the adapter you wish to buy.
A replacement hard case is also NOT expensive ($15-30). Just swap the HDD from your old case to the new one (a simple task for anyone with a screwdriver and something less than 2 left thumbs). It might be cheaper and easier than finding a matching new A/C adapter.
