Workhorse
Pros: Always works --always fast. Have plugged phones, external hard drives for large data transfers, flash drives, ipods and printers without a hitch.
Cons: none
Good G card in Ubuntu 10.04 x64
Pros: Plugs and runs reliably in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx at G speeds.
Cons: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wireless support is all over the board. Looks like a fair number of regression errors in the release. G is fine but you either have to patch the kernel with the latest rt driver or wait and hope for updates to get N speed.
Its a Monster Flash
Pros: Cheap and reliable
Cons: Caps need to be a tad tighter...
Dorm Stopper
Pros: About my 5th Belkin surge protector. It's the best last thing to buy for a kid off to college. Gotta protect that Macbook, printer, phone charger, alarm clock, coffee maker, hair straightener, black light, guitar amplifier, blender, rice cooker, popcorn maker...
Cons: nada nada limonada
All Better Now...
Pros: Keeps laptop cool and provides a nice typing angle with the extendable legs. Best cooler I have used.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Zalman did a nice job RMA-ing my last cooler based on the feedback given below.
Dang Fast and Linux Friendly
Pros: Snap to install in HP DV6 AMD machine. Boots to Ubuntu 12.10 login screen in about 10s. Shutdown in 3-4s. Added max RAM and the combo makes this mid-range machine a little screamer. Nice bump in battery performance too.
Cons: nada
Overall Review: Follow the guides to optimize Ubuntu/Linux SSD performance -trim, swappiness etc. Look at Easy Linux Tips on Sites to get a running start. 30 minute project to get your box optimized.
