Rosewill RX-C202 3.5" SATA Trayless Hot Swap Mobile Rack for Dual 2.5" SATA SSD / HDD
Rosewill RX-C202 3.5" SATA Trayless Hot Swap Mobile Rack for Dual 2.5" SATA SSD / HDD

Pros: heavy, looks good, standard

Cons: i'm sorry for doubting

Overall Review: i got this bay so that i could conserve space. I needed both functioning as the drives i planned to use were to be in raid configuration. I was disheartened to find that one of the drives would not register. After an hour of toil deconstructing this perfectly fine mount i found it was the sata data cable causing the issue. Lesson learned, rosewill hasn't failed me yet.

Most Critical Review

Works but..

Nippon Labs USB 2.0 Internal Memory Card Reader 3.5" All In One  ICR-BB
Nippon Labs USB 2.0 Internal Memory Card Reader 3.5" All In One ICR-BB

Pros: I bought this mainly for the micro SD slot, and the USB was more of a bonus, both functioned as expected.

Cons: When attempting to reinstall windows 7 on my system I found the process to be far more arduous than usually experienced. Times between steps took 40 minutes rather than a minute. After trouble shooting I finally left it to load long enough for the drive selection. This card reader showed up as a 0.0MB / 0.0MB drive. Out of suspicion I unplugged and went on installing windows from the start. Only after unplugging the device did the install function as expected.

Overall Review: If you're having trouble installing any OS it may be this reader.

full speeds but

HyperX 3K 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive) SH103S3/120G
HyperX 3K 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive) SH103S3/120G

Pros: Fast, nice looking, came with everything but the sata data cable.

Cons: see other.

Overall Review: i ordered three of these drives, one for my laptop, and two to set up in raid 0 on my desktop, all to hold the primary os and primary programs. when i benchmarked the desktop drives in raid 0 i got read speeds of 930mb/s and write speeds of 450mb/s. Although I was elated to get almost twice the advertised read, I only received a little below the advertised write. I'm sure once i get to benchmarking the one in my laptop I'll most likely find speeds to be up to 300mb/s if i'm lucky. I'm just being a bit picky since 450mb/s is really nothing to sneeze at. At the end of the day, if fidelty is true, i have an almost-256gb drive that costs a wad cheaper than some of the more popular brands these days (but with twice the read speed).

okay

Pros: kickstand allows for the phone to sit both portrait and landscape.

Cons: the hinge that allows the kickstand to slide broke in several ways (after around 250 days).

ergonomic

Pros: small, compact, mouse is closer and arms less stretched. far cheaper than any non-tkl keyboard if you're not one to use the numberpad. cord is braided.

Cons: cord is a bit short.

wired keyboard

Pros: fast shipping

Cons: in conjunction with an OTG mini adapter this would not allow me use a wire keyboard with my android devices. either or both are to blame.
