Seagate Backup Plus Hub removable hard drive 36W adapter disassembly

preface

Although SSDs have been very popular, there is still market space for large-capacity mechanical hard disks for storing large-capacity video files, etc., and the corresponding 3.5-inch large-capacity external hard disks have also been introduced. Mechanical hard disk for power supply requirements are quite high, the use of external power, need to have enough power to ensure the stable operation of the hard disk.

The charging head network got an external power supply for the Seagate Backup Plus Hub mobile hard disk, which is produced by Eurocomm, which supports wide voltage input and 12V3A output to meet the power supply needs of large-capacity mechanical hard disks. The following is a detailed disassembly of this power supply, let's take a look at the workmanship materials of this power supply.
