From what I can discover it looks like it contains 2 drives for security of backups. From that I have found it only has one connector for power so it is likely to be 12v as the drives need +12v and +5v. The power rating would need to be able to supply at least 4 amps as each drive would need 2 amps, simple maths 2 x 2A=4A. There should be a rating plate on the rear of the unit stating the power requirements. Take a close look at the information plate to verify.
