Addonics NAS40ESU NAS 4.0 Adapter
Pros: Easy to set up and share single folder or entire connected NAS drive. Easy to use interface, but novices might not understand some of the NAS settings. So far, working as expected. Able to play back NAS stored movies and videos through Patriot Box Office media player. Also able to access Office 2013 documents and other files from any of my computers without having a Server computer running. File sharing over the Internet is available by using the built-in FTP server
Cons: In order to get highest possible speed – I'm getting about 40 MBps – drive needs to be formatted as XFS. Which is read/write accessible by Windows through the NAS unit, but not in Windows when directly connected to the computer – requires additional software easily found on the Internet. Recognizes all partitions on a hard drive, but will not connect to additional hard drives hooked up through an USB hub. Limit one hard drive per connection (2 eSata/ USB combination connections). USB ports are only 2.0 not 3.0.
Syba SY-ENC35026 USB 3.0 Hard Disk Docking Station Supports 3.5" and 2.5" Drives
Pros: Works with some HDDs
Cons: Purchased 2. Neither of them recognize Western Digital Green (and perhaps other) 2GB + HDDs. Useless since they won't work with some HDDs.
Overall Review: I have several Rosewill USB 3.0 docks that recognize all types of HDDs. Bought these as space saving alternative - very disappointed.
Chinese "English" directions – if you can understand them please translate.
Pros: Needs to be charged first – remove cover on bottom – plug-in USB cable to computer or standalone charger. . Finally got the thing to record video. . For those that can't translate the "English directions": . 1. To record video slide the bar with the dots on the pocket clip downward to expose the camera 2. Press the top button – the LED on the opposite side from the clip near the bottom will turn blue 3. Press the top button again – the blue LED will blink and turn out – the unit is now recording – press the top button again to stop recording – the blue LED will turn on. .. There are buttons labeled "R" and "F" (where the LEDs light up) – these are the reset and function buttons – you can control video resolution and other functions with the "F" button. . Still trying to figure out how to take pictures and change resolution
Cons: Impossible to understand instructions in English but make no sense.
Overall Review: The video is fairly good. Operation is difficult. English Instructions are almost useless.
EC2WORLD 16CH 1080P Hybrid NVR AHD TVI CVI DVR 5-in-1 Digital Video Recorder
Pros: Good product - all the bells and whistles. Have not tried the Lan or cloud technology access yet. Easy install of HDD and set up.
Cons: None as yet.
Overall Review: Good product for the price - meets my needs, plus doubles the number of camera connections available vs. old system.
Works excellently with Dragon NaturallySpeaking
Pros: Approximately eight hours usage time. 40 to 60-foot range. I am dictating this review using Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Shell Shocker price $9.99 – can't beat it. Superb capability, good sound quality. Speaker frequency response: 20Hz – 20kHz Microphone frequency response: 100Hz – 10kHz
Cons: If the headset is uncomfortable (squeezing the sides of your head), take hold of each earpiece and gently, carefully stretch outward. You may have to do this a couple of times until the headset is firm, but doesn't squeeze inward too much.
Overall Review: Absolutely recommended as a low priced wireless headset. Especially for use with Dragon NaturallySpeaking – low cost wireless capability – excellent recognition capability (virtually 100%).
SYBA SI-PEX24042 4 Port Gigabit Ethernet PCI-e
Pros: Finally got this working in my ASUS Z170-A LGA 1151 Intel Z170 Motherboard. Tried to install in a regular PCI-e slot - would not access card or would not recognize connected cable. Finally tried installing the card in one of the extended PCI-e (video slots) and it worked without a problem.
Cons: Will not work in an ASUS Z170-A LGA 1151 Intel Z170 regular PCI-e slot.
Overall Review: If you have an ASUS Z170-A LGA 1151 Intel Z170 motherboard install in an extra PCI-e extended slot.
