Hmm, not sure if the shaving adapter will do it because I don't know what the power load is. In theory, that should work though. Have a number of Seagate external drives here that work anywhere in the world. It's just a case of changing the adapter on the end of the plug. However, if in doubt, look for a European to UK plug adapter. Not sure what the exact name for those is however, have one here for a camera that we purchased in Greece. Will dig it out when I get a mo and see if we can find out if there's anything written on it.
