Good While It Lasted

Hitachi GST XL Desk 2TB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive HXSDNB20001BBB (0S02485)
Hitachi GST XL Desk 2TB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive HXSDNB20001BBB (0S02485)

Pros: Good-looking style even when it self-destructs

Cons: Drive was good for 5 weeks, then it gave the dreaded "knocking" sound. Computer failed to recognized drive and drive turned itself into a door stop. "Alas, Hitachi, We Hardly Knew Ye". I'm now in the process of requesting an rma.

Plug it in and Enjoy the capacity

WD 1TB My Passport Ultra Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model WDBZFP0010BRD-NESN Red

Pros: Couldn't be simpler. Plug it into a usb port. Instantly have 1TB of capacity. With usb 3, it is a fast read and write.

Cons: None. What more could a consumer want? Works as advertised and compatible with usb 3.

Works the way it should.

APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500 W ATX Power Supply
APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500 W ATX Power Supply

Pros: Works out of the box. Has more than enough power leads for all your peripherals inside the computer. With 500w, should be able to power up any cpu and peripheral plugged in. I used the power supply to power a Dell quad-core with two hard drives, DVD burner, pci express video card, pci usb card and multiple external usb peripherals.

Cons: The first one burned out after 3 years. We'll see how this one goes.

Pros: Simple to install. Insert driver disk and you're set to go. Specifically, These cards were installed on Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit workstations without a problem. Further, they were installed on various brands - Dell, HP and a no-name clone. All installations went well and network access speed increased significantly.

Cons: None
