Will the ugreen hard drive enclosure work?

UK mains are 240volt.

You need to check if the mains adapter that came with the ugreen thing can handle the different voltage in the US.

Might help if you link to the amazon page for the exact item you ordered.

That is a photo, not a link.

If it is this one, looks like an adapter is provided that converts uk mains ac into 12v 2A DC.

So you need an adapter that converts US mains into 12volt 2Amp DC

If you are using the correct adapter and the disk is not showing , type diskmgmt.msc in start search box and see if it shows in disk management. It might just need letters assigned to the partitions .

Hi! The one I gort from Amazon is 100-240V voltage. As one of you suggested, maybe I'm better off returning it and getting one made for the USA. Unless their product is better and can do more than those of their kind available in the USA.. I want to be capable of seeing what is in hard drives and modifying their contents when it comes from a laptop computer that crashed, so that I can fix it that way. And to be able to use it on hard drives of varying sizes if there are other sizes commonly to be expected in laptop computers. And can I modify hard drive contents, regardless of what OS system I had installed it - windows or Linux? Or are all exterior hard drive cases capable of handling all operating systems that have been put on them? By the way, I sent for 2 of the ugreen hard drive cases, as I hadn't noticed that I'd ordered 2 of them - somehow I overlooked it! And I need only one. I will check over the Vantec site now as one of you suggested to see what they have in hard drive cases. Do you think Vantec's ones are capable of doing what they are capable of doing? Does the exterior type of hard drive case work no better than those without a case? I bought a Sata cord from Amazon for the purpose of viewing the contents of hard drives. But it isn't powerful enough for the contents to show up - it looks like, as I don't see it. I'll attach a picture of it, and also the usb hub I bought so that it could also be plugged into the wall. Could you show me a picture of what you recommend I get? Thanks!

Hi! Ok, I'll just keep it then, and find an adaptor to make it usable here. Thanks so much for explaining about this! I ordered it, from advice I'd gotten here in another posting. It was so hard for me to tell what was the best kind to use, that I chose to use exactly the one he recommended. All I knew was that the kinds I'd tried hadn't worked, as they lacked sufficient power. This site I looked up recommended these kinds of adaptors - I plan to choose the one labeled as "safest" to use: How to use plugs from United Kingdom in United States of America And here's the link in Amazon for that kind of adaptor: Amazon.com Here's a picture of it there: Does this look ok? I see my plug is type G. I'll ask the seller quesitions about it first, too. Like I don't yet know if the adaptor comes with a plug-in cord or not.
