What power supply is needed for a maxtor external hard drive ?

Question

I inherited a maxtor "one touch" external hard drive.
120 GB, 2MB cache usb2.
KIT: A01B120
it has a round power connector and the box shows that it uses a brick style external power supply but i do not know whether it's AC or DC (probably DC) nor the polarity (if DC) or voltage (probably 12 V with a regulator to make 5 volts).

Probably is not good enough...

i could not find the info on internet. if someone has same drive, please help.

Thanks

I could be almost anything. I would ask the Maxtor people. There is a chance that the case might show the supply requirements but not all of my externals do.
