Just take your external hard-drive to DSE, and tell them you need a power adapter for this electronic gadget, and bobs your uncle.

When my power cord for my router got ripped out, i took it to DSE and on the back of the router it said, '5V - 1.2A'. I told the sales dude and he came back with a power supply cord.

Downside it's gonna cost you, no more then $40

Yeah, everything uses standard cables these days. Power adapter will be the pricey one - the male/male cables are cheap and easy, however.

My last workplace just placed 2nd hand HDD's into to external cases.

I swear they were doing illegal business.
