I have this drive http://www.simpletech.com/parts/spu351tb.htm but have
accidentally mixed up its power supply with several others. Normally this is
not a problem since the power requirements are typically found on the drive
next to the power jack. But this drive has nothing either on it or in the
instructions to suggest the power requirements. Simpletech has not answered
my emails and seems to just put cutomers like me on permanent hold when I
call the toll-free number. If anybody out there has this drive and can give
me a description of the power supply for it, I should be able to identify it
amongst my collection. Thanks for any help!

Can you open the case? If so, then identify the power pins on your
drive and check for continuity with your power socket using a
multimeter. That should give you the required voltage(s) and the
correct polarity.

Another guide would the polarity and rating of any electrolytic
capacitors.

A photo might help also.

Good idea. There are enough competent people here to
interpret that. Post a photograph of the insiodes and
a close-up of the power inlet.
