Question 1

What is the power rating for this enclosure. Does the adapter go up to 240V?

Accepted Answer

The manual does not state that it can. I looked at mine, but there is no way to tell once its together. It could be an auto switching supply inside but you will need to call Vantecc. In the manual is a phone number for tech support, Likely they can tell you if it can support 240VAC.Sorry i have no better answer. I like the unit, it works well, both the USB and the eSata; my blu-ray works great.
This Answer box does not allow me to paste link to sites, so you will have to go to Vantecc's site yourself and look for the US numbers.

Question 2

Will the connection be fast enough between this and my computer for blu ray movies to play smoothly?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Blu-ray discs are encoded at up to 40Mbits/sec while USB 2.0 has an effective throughput of 280Mbits/sec, E-sata is faster.  If you have trouble playing blu-ray on a drive in this case it will probably be an issue with your video card, or a computer that is too old (for example only USB 1 or no HDCP).
