Get a new wall wart. Your true question is can it handle the load presented by the larger 500 GB disk, and substituting a smaller disk can't answer it. Take the drive to where you bought it and ask them to spin it up with wart from comparable disk.

Some potentially very bad news, guys. My new 500 GB USB HD which I brought with me to Masset and recorded some 250 GB or so of SDR-IQ files bit the dust tonight. I noticed while working on some emails that the Blue LED light wasn't on.
"Odd, I thought". Better check the connections....all in order. It's powered by a wall wart. When I flipped the power switch, the blue LEDs would momentarily flash on, and then off. No noise coming from the HD itself (a WD model). Hmmm. Not
good. Bottom line, I removed the HD. The power lights came on just fine, but immediately went out when I hooked up the 4 wire power plug to the HD. I even swapped an old HD from a PC...14 GB or so and it powered up fine. I tried the
500 GB HD in the old PC. No joy. It's in the deep freeze overnight before wondering what to do next. I'm quite distressed realizing that I may have lost all of the really good DX from Masset, apart from Recall Pro and a few Edirol files. Suggestions
and diagnoses are most welcome. HELP!!!! .........Walt.
PS: I handled this thing with care. I carried it in my backpack carefully all the way home, and it powered up fine down here, at least initially.
