Hi, I have a 3.5" WD 10TB HDD (bare drive) which I would like to power it with an external power supply (eg. HPLEX, SOtM SPS-500, etc) through the drive's SATA power. It'll be use for music storage only on an Intel NUC.  The drive is rated 5v/12v.  Just wondering if I should set the power supply at 5V or 12V?  Or is there a better way to provide clean power to a HDD?

Many thanks!

 

You need both 5 AND 12 V for 3,5" WB..   Red/black Wire is 5V, and 12V is yellow/black.

 

Or choose a 2,5" drive that only need 5V.
