NAS purchase from the US (power pack/transformer)

Lpax on 25/02/2013 - 13:31

Hi All,

I know we all want a bargain, and it seems that the Synology DS413 is cheaper in the US than here, so I'm exploring the purchase from US as an option.

This NAS has an external transformer as a power pack supplied by EDAC POWER ELEC, so they seem very generic.

Has anyone done this sort of purchase and just used an AU kettle lead on our end, or not bothered?

I've tried to find a high-res image of the power pack, but can't to verify that the inputs are 100-240V. I think they are though.

From here:
http://www.synology.com/products/spec.php?product_name=DS413…

AC Input Power Voltage : 100V to 240V AC
Power Frequency : 50/60 Hz, Single Phase

Should be pretty safe.

  Probably should have checked their site in text fields.
  
  I think I'd be good to go.

  No specific deals, just cheaper from over there. Not explored the costs as yet including delivery.

  both being good prices, and B&H ship to Oz (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/HelpCenter/Shipping.jsp#shi…)
  
  Shipping is the killer at $114, so maybe not
