✓ Over Voltage Protection (OVP) with a limit of 10% before shut down
(max 30V). Protection for device or Hard Drive damage, caused by
unstable voltage or faulty and broken power adapter.
✓ Low Voltage Detection (LVD) indicating insufficient power supply.

Hard Drive caused by using a wrong adapter (correct: internal +,
external -).

environment (type and size of Hard Drive, Computer, Host Card and
length of cable) if the Hard Drive can be used with bus power only or not.
Note
: To assure bus power works with your system, please test it first. Some
points which might help, use a short cable (40-50cm), smaller capacity HDD
and try different Computers or Host Cards
