    Dear Expert.

    I was using
    BUFFALO HD-H300u2 External HDD which I bought in Japan.

    and this one has been broken...(I was using in U.K.)

    I was using electric transformer 100v to 240v
    but I think Transformer had a bit of problem.
    I stepped on Electric Transformer, then I could see the inside of
    transformer...I was using that for a while with this HDD, but
    keep switching off and kinda smelly sometimes, I completely forgot about
    it was half broken, and I used it yesterday...

    suddenly this HD cannot switch on (as the transformer) , then I can hear strange small sound zizizizizi when I plug into normal safe transformer..

    I don think its HDD damaged(I hope)but the power supply...
    I just wonder if this Japanese HDD can be usable in the HDD case

    like > LUPO 3.5" HDD USB 2.0 External IDE Hard Disk Case Enclosure

    take out from the case and put in the case.
    cos the Voltage is different from UK...
    and i have no idea what is inside the baffalo product
    is it 3.5inch? special one? maybe 2HD?
    its 300GB...


    normal internal HDD I don think there is a difference between Japanese, UK...

    or maybe I should buy HD case in Japannnnn?

    Thank you
