I'm not 100% sure, but if its powered over the USB I don't think it will draw much more than your computer does when its plugged in.

Actually only the 2.5" USB discs are powered from USB, the 3.5" USB discs need a "normal" external power supply.

I had a "small" fire here a couple of years ago so since then I'm very careful :)

Still, its not going to be much different than the draw it would have pulled directly through your computer. Not enough to cause a fire, unless it shorts out.

Quick google search - the power supply is 12V and supplies a max of 1.2A.

So that'd be 14.4W then.

It would take a lot of red or black power to start a fire.
