The hard drive didn't come from Arlo, so we have no idea what power adapter you need.  If you google the hard drive model, you might be able to find a compatible adapter.

 

The other option is to just get a flash drive.  A 512 GB drive can hold a lot of video files, and only costs about $35 USD.

On the chance that the OP is calling his base station a hard drive, I'm not aware of a replacement model being available. However, you can purchase a universal power supply that can be configured for 12 volts DC output. Check the label on your base for the polarity needed at the connector and set that properly, too.
