Nice Cable

StarTech.com UUSBOTG 5in Micro USB to USB OTG Host Adapter - Micro USB Male to USB A Female On-The-GO Host Cable Adapter
StarTech.com UUSBOTG 5in Micro USB to USB OTG Host Adapter - Micro USB Male to USB A Female On-The-GO Host Cable Adapter

Pros: Works with LG G2 phone Samsung Galaxy, and others.

Cons: Can't get it to work with Droid Razr XT912 phone even with USB hub attached, not sure if its the cable or phone, but I suspect its not the cable so I still give it 4 stars

Most Critical Review

Connecter bad

Rosewill RDEE-12002 Aluminum 2.5" SATA I/II/III USB 3.0 SSD/ HDD Aluminum Screwless External Enclosure support up to 12.7mm
Rosewill RDEE-12002 Aluminum 2.5" SATA I/II/III USB 3.0 SSD/ HDD Aluminum Screwless External Enclosure support up to 12.7mm

Pros: Before it broke it worked as expected.

Cons: External connector that cable plugs into broke off circuit board after only minimum use.

Overall Review: I guess the connector must be treated like a thin piece of ice in the sun-shine.

Good and bad

HP ZR30w Black 30" 7ms S-IPS Panel Height &Swivel Adjustable Widescreen LCD Monitor w/USB Ports 370 cd/m2 DC 3,000:1
HP ZR30w Black 30" 7ms S-IPS Panel Height &Swivel Adjustable Widescreen LCD Monitor w/USB Ports 370 cd/m2 DC 3,000:1

Pros: Lowest price 30". Height Adjustment is nice. Good picture. Very bright. Very big, very nice monitor.

Cons: Incompatible with Nvidia Quadro FX 3500. Would only run 1024x768 or 800x600 with this video card, all other resolutions produced black screen. Confirmed a 3 different systems with the same video card. Replaced card with low end 8500gt and other Nvidia cards and it works fine. I have Dell 3007wfp monitors that work with the Quadro FX 3500 card so I think this is truly an HP problem. Beware of video card incompatibilities!

Overall Review: I gave it one egg for the incompatibility to warn others who are thinking of purchasing this monitor, and possibly save them a day of troubleshooting. If you have a card that works with it, you will be very happy. This is a nice monitor otherwise.

Pros and Cons

RiDATA Twister 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model RDEZ2G-TW-LIG0
RiDATA Twister 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model RDEZ2G-TW-LIG0

Pros: Large storage for small price.

Cons: I found it difficult to open due to lack of grip on the side of the flash drive. Also there is not anyplace to hook a lanyard

Power and data connection problem

Fujitsu MBA3300RC 300GB 15000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Fujitsu MBA3300RC 300GB 15000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I hear its fast. No experience yet

Cons: The power and data connector are solid linked together. meaning you can't connect a standard SATA power cable from your power supply to this drive, nor will the SAS cable from my LSI Megaraid card connect to the drive. Now I'm at a loss. This drive appears to be made for backplane installation and not stand alone PC mounting.

2 out of 14 errors

Seagate BarraCuda ES.2 ST31000340NS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate BarraCuda ES.2 ST31000340NS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Large capacity, cheap storage, good warranty.

Cons: 2 out of the 15 I have running in a RAID5 have failed.

Overall Review: Not sure if it is the firmware issue that has been mentioned. I've just advanced replaced with Seagate for the $19.99 to get back up and running before another failed. Purchase 15 in 7/08. One died in 11/08, another 04/09. 04/09 drive is firmware SN05.
