"looks more like the black box from a commercial airliner"

Looks black to me, not orange.

That'd be the rest of Europe except Ireland, seeing as how we use the three pronged jobbies here too.

disappointed by the review

come on 'The Register', you can do better than this, this review is lacking useful details like, how hot does the drive get (active or passive cooling?), how much power does it draw in active and standby modes and how much noise it makes.

Maybe a peek inside to identify the brand and model of the HD could have been useful too.

This is The Register after all, not Women's Weekly...
