Great for Sharing Files

NETGEAR SC101 Storage Central
NETGEAR SC101 Storage Central

Pros: Small, Easy to use, easy to install, Works very well at sharing files over the network, works great with a Modded Xbox to play media files on multiple devices....

Cons: WRITE speed is a little slow, when you update it just send it over-night. I have not figured out if I can use it as an SMB Share, the unit has its own software, I Just share the drive as an SMB share on my computer Mirror is only raid (raid 1), and slows it down alot...duh, its a SAN not a NAT.

Overall Review: I would buy this product again, the complaints people put are only valid until I played a 4.5 GB ISO on 3 computers and a modded Xbox. works Great. (note in SP2 you must mount it as a Folder and then share the folder) For maximum storage the devices will take 400GB Seagate Drives...Check their HD List before you try it.

Perfect Smartphone Companion

Anker® Astro3 10000mAh Dual 2A USB Output External Battery Backup Charger for all iPhone, iPod, iPad; Most Android Phones; 9V / 12V Optional Voltage for Tablets and More Other Mobile Devices

Pros: Special ports for iPhone and Android devices (sends a different USB ID to the endpoint device, corrects some issues that you may have with other drivers)

Cons: They could include an iPhone 5 adapter.

Overall Review: If you have ever had a dead phone, or want to go camping, get one. Also, regenerating batteries don't exist, don't forget to charge your charger

Best Monitor By Far

LG W3000H-Bn Black 30" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ HDCP Support 370 cd/m2 3000:1 w/ 4 USB ports
LG W3000H-Bn Black 30" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ HDCP Support 370 cd/m2 3000:1 w/ 4 USB ports

Pros: I am gaming and a network architect and I love this monitor, I can fit exactly 4x720p resolution videos or RDP/SSH Panels, and gaming/movies is awesome. colors still great, quality is amazing.

Cons: Included base is...basic.

Overall Review: Added a Ergatron MX, and later added 2 LG 20" Monitors for a total res of 4360x1600 (1600x900 monitors in portrait on either side) Previous user noted they use a sharpie to cover the LED...there is a softbutton on the left to disable it...sound too.
