I got it with https://sabrent.com/collections/hard-drive-accessories/products/ec-ch2b. But since I bought it in EU, it has that charger. Is there no alternative other than buying a whole new charger?

If you mean a replacement slide-in US standard module - I fear that your chances are slim. I don't know of a standard that applies to such plates. As it came with a, presumably, external disc drive - asking that manufacturer or its US agent/distributor for help might get something. Even a free replacement power supply. Worth asking, surely?
I don't recommend using an inline adapter - unless used vertically, the leverage would be too great, unless you added a third leg.. You might look for a right angle adapter - that's the norm in the UK. They can work out well.
Otherwise, you could get an EU socket strip, replacing the plug on the end of its cable with a US one (if it doesn't actually come with a US plug already).
Yep, I meant a replacement slide in and was hoping there was a standard for these things. Makes sense to get a power strip. Thanks for the response!
