I moved from the UK to the USA, with me i took my new laptop. The problem is it doesn't have an SSD. Now i wanna take a dive and install a 500GB SSD drive. My question is, do internal components take a varied power input depending on the country of purchase? Or simply do all parts take the same specific voltage/amps around the globe, excluding the PSU which takes care of the conversion to a universal internal current?
Do components have diffrent power requirements depending on the country of purchase?

That is one of the big perks of the PSU, it handles all of the conversion, once the power is leaving the PSU it is the same no matter where you are, same goes for a laptop charger. The SSD is going to be fed from a mSATA connector in the laptop which is spec'd by an international consortium, everyone has to build them the same so that things work around the world, this also lets companies like Western Digital build one type of hard drive and sell it in Japan, US, Germany, and Russia, even though they all have differing power grids!
