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?

    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.
