Questions about this item

Will this 12V 2A adapter run a WD My Book Essential 4TB drive that originally shipped with a 12V 1A supply?

Yes. The output is rated 12V 2A and the notes state compatibility with 12V 1A and 12V 1.5A units, so it will power the 4TB model without issue.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering the correct 12V output after I plug it in?

The drive should spin up normally and appear in the operating system without clicking or repeated disconnects; a steady power LED on the enclosure also indicates proper 12V delivery.

Does the package include only the adapter brick or also the 5FT AC mains cord?

The 5FT extra-long power cord is included, so no separate mains lead is required.
