Aha, now I see the confusion! No, I'm not talking about the internal unit, I'm talking about the cable and possible transformer that connects the NAS box to the wall plug socket. It will have a 3-pin kettle lead plug on one end, and a 3-pin 240 volt plug on the other end. Whether there's a transformer in the middle somewhere, I just can't remember.
My other ReadyNAS box has a 4-pin plug, that connects via a transformer, to the wall plug socket. The socket on this one is different.
Or can I assume that as the box I'm asking about has a 3-pin kettle socket, any old kettle lead will do, and it doesn't need a transformer, like my other NAS box does? I really can't remember what it had now.
This is what the plug that fits the power socket on the back of the ReadyNAS box looks like:
