Most Favorable Review

Good for the money

Kingston DataTraveler 101 G2 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Red) Model DT101G2/8GBZ

Pros: Was looking for some high portable storage for a low price, and this fit the bill. Haven't had any issues with this product.

Cons: Transfer rate is slower than the high end ones. If that is a concern, fork out the extra money for a faster drive.

Overall Review: Good little flash drive.

Most Critical Review

Works, but some false advertising

SPARKLE GeForce 8400 GS 256MB DDR3 PCI Low Profile Ready Video Card 700020
SPARKLE GeForce 8400 GS 256MB DDR3 PCI Low Profile Ready Video Card 700020

Pros: PCI interface- fits in older computers. Inexpensive. Works in Windows 7 fine.

Cons: I bought this specifically for the S-Video capabilities. When I pulled it out- no S-Video. It had an HDMI out instead. ?!?! I checked model numbers- exact match. Not sure why I got HDMI when it's advertised as S-Video. Weird....

Overall Review: Would be a great card if it had the S-Video out as advertised.

Phenomenal drive!

Pros: Great performance, fast read/write speeds. Withstands the beatings I give to it.

Cons: It's not as fast as SSD, but what is?

Overall Review: For a fast traditional drive on a budget, you can't beat the Raptors!

Good Media Center

WD TV Live Hub 1TB Media Center - WDBABZ0010BBK-NESN

Pros: 1TB hard drive, easy navigation, Netflix, YouTube, etc. Software it ships with maps a drive to your media center, so adding files is just drag and drop. Supports wide range of formats. Plus I can password protect it so my kids don't jump on anytime they want.

Cons: Sometimes the UI is a bit slow. Had one firmware update that messed up my ability to see my media, had to reverse it to prior version. Minor glitches every now and then, solved by resetting media center. I have a few folders that appear twice, not sure why.

Overall Review: This has been a great addition to my entertainment center. I love being disk-less, love having my media at my fingertips when I want.

Works well
