Lost PSU

During my move somehow the PSU to my DAS was lost.
I have found one that I hope is okay to use instead, however, I would like to check here first.
It has an output of 15v and 3amps, would this be okay to use please?
Thanks,
Simon.

Unless you want to damage your TDAS, do not use that
found adapter.
A D5-300 is expecting an input of
12V@7.5A (90W); you might be able to get away with a lower
amperage output adapter, however the
voltage must be
12 Volts.

The PSU must be 12V, and to support 5 drives, 6A is the minimum requirement depending on your hard drive model.

Phew, I thought the higher voltage would make up for the lower amps.
When I get paid next week I will check ebay for a 12v 7.5a
thank you both so much for that info.
