Compatible Maxtor Models

This ABLEGRID power adapter is built for Maxtor Personal Storage external hard drives including the 5000XT 250GB, 5000LE and 80GB models. It supplies the required +5V and +12V DC output through a 4-pin connector. The unit accepts 100-240V AC input at 50-60Hz for worldwide use. A 1.5 m cable and a free mains cord are included in the package.

Who This Suits

Buyers replacing a lost or faulty original charger for the listed Maxtor drives will find a direct fit with over-voltage and over-heat protection. It is not for users whose drive requires a different output voltage, a different connector tip size or a higher current rating than this adapter provides. Always verify the DC output and tip dimensions against the drive label before ordering.

Deciding Specification

The critical specification is the 4-pin connector delivering +5V and +12V DC that matches the Maxtor 5000XT 250GB, 5000LE and 80GB drives. Confirm the tip size shown in the product images matches your drive’s power port exactly. Without that physical and electrical match the adapter will not power the drive.

Questions about this item

Which ABLEGRID adapter version should I choose for my Maxtor 5000XT 250GB or 5000LE 80GB drive?

This single adapter is built for both the Maxtor 5000XT 250GB and the 5000LE 80GB, so no version choice is needed — just confirm the 4-pin tip matches your unit.

What does the 12 V output mean when the adapter is powering my drive?

The adapter delivers a steady 12 V DC rail that the drive’s motor and controller expect, while the 5 V rail handles logic circuits.

How does the 100-240 V AC input and 50-60 Hz range affect real-world use?

The wide input range lets you plug the adapter into mains sockets worldwide without a voltage converter, and the 50-60 Hz tolerance covers both common grid frequencies.
