Hi, I've posted this question on the digital PSU recommendations thread but I'm going to ask again here in case this gets better visibility ...

I've just relocated to the USA from the UK. Do I have to buy the C7033 PSUs for my SSD or can I get away with plugging my C7024s in to the wall with the cheap adaptors so that the pins fit?

I know nothing about electronics but from what I've read the difference is going to be the input voltage (120V in the USA as opposed to 230V in the UK). From what I could tell this might not matter too much but I would definitely appreciate someone who knows about this kind of thing confirming this or setting me straight!

Thanks,

Mark

I wouldn't waste money on power converters or Scaley power supplies. I'd just get a couple of those cheap toshiba laptop chargers. Same volts, amps, and plug as the scaley ones, for a fraction of the cost, and much less than you'd spend on converters.

Yep, but you could probably find it cheaper. Note that you don't need genuine Toshiba brand PSUs. There are tons of off brands that sell even cheaper, but it's the same guts, really.
