What power does that run off. i picked the top one cus it runs off DC

I guess the only way is an inverter, but it'll blow up unless it's regulated.
Get a smaller USB powered drive.. and save yourself the hassle

Why an inverter? That hard drive runs on DC don't i just need a 12v Dc regulater Or What about taking 4 wires off the HDD molex connector off the car Pc.
