Has anyone in the UK purchased this?

Mediasonic PROBOX 4 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure – USB 3.0 & eSATA Support 18TB HDD (HF2-SU3S3) 2022 New Chipset https://amzn.eu/d/9DYIlM2

I’m trying to get a drive enclosure in the UK I’ve seen TERRAMASTER, ORICO, and Mediasonic. I would personally like to get the mediasonic but not sure if import tax would get hit via amazon and also the plug would be US and not UK.

So if you have this in the UK how did you make it work?

    I have 2 older ones under 2 different brands but essentially the same.

    Not much is needed to get them up and running, plug your disks in. On mine it had raid, so the raid level had to be set first, but plug it into the machine, format the drives and off you go

      How did you get past it being a US plug?

      Hmm slowly leaning towards a Terramaster or Yottamaster but the price difference is nuts. £300 range. I can’t seem to find anything of the import via Amazon or how I could make the drive work in the UK. I might email the company and see if it’s possible.

        Mine was brought in the UK, but they have external power bricks anyway so you can just swap the plug end of the cable

        Take a look at icybox as well they are the same, more or less underneath

          Oh okay might just bite the bullet, the mediasonic is recommended alot and seems compact enough too.
