Great for backup

Seagate Expansion 3TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive
Seagate Expansion 3TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive

Pros: I've been using two of these as rotating backup drives for our servers and they've been working great so far. NTFS formatted they come to 2.72TB.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I haven't experienced the heat issue that some people have been talking about and I own many Seagate internals that definitely do overheat. Even after 16 hours of continuous read/write when duplicating one drive to another they weren't what I would consider overheated. Warmer than normal, sure, but not hot.

Most Critical Review

It heats but the room doesn't

Delonghi EW7707CM 1500W ComforTemp Electric Oil-Filled Radiator Heater
Delonghi EW7707CM 1500W ComforTemp Electric Oil-Filled Radiator Heater

Pros: The hideaway wheels are nice and they roll pretty easily.

Cons: We couldn't get it to heat an 11x16 room even after running for 7 hours. It was definitely giving off heat since it was almost too hot to touch. Very disappointed.

Overall Review: I couldn't find any room sizing information on this site or the manufacturer's site, so if this room is too big I have no idea.

Awesome little keyboard

Pros: This is a very awesome little keyboard that I would absolutely recommend to anyone. Windows 8 figured it out right away without asking me any questions. I used this on a computer that wasn't in the same room as the TV connected. A different bluetooth mouse was have range issue depending on where you sat but this didn't have any problems. I wouldn't want to live on the mouse pad but it works perfect for room-sized viewing area. The keyboard sleeps after a couple of minutes for power but you just have to press any key to wake it up which I really like. No wake-up connection issues at all so far. USB receiver can be found by pulling on the little nub.

Cons: Manual was listed as included but wasn't however I in no way needed one and would have just thrown it away if it was in there.

Overall Review: I wanted a very small keyboard and mouse for a conference room to pass around in addition to the primary one. This isn't something that you'd want to use 8 hours a day but I wouldn't expect that from a keyboard that's smaller than my hand. For the price I couldn't pass up trying this and I'm very glad that I did.

So far so good

Pros: In all of my simulated power failures the UPS has been working perfectly and the software has been sending proper alerts.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The only reason I can't give a 5th star yes is that I haven't had a live power failure to completely test it.

Works great

Pros: Plugged everything in from my 100Mb switch to this and everything just worked fine. I've only had them for a couple of hours but as of right now I can barely feel any heat coming off of them.

Cons: None

Overall Review: These are a great and inexpensive way to add more and/or faster ports to your network.

Only works with laptop drives

Nippon Labs 2.5" SATA HDD to USB External Enclosure/Adapter works with SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive Model USB-ADT-25SATA

Pros: When it works, it works great.

Cons: Only works with my laptop drives (HDD2D61 and HM160HI), won't even spin up my desktop Seagate Barracudas (ST31500341AS, ST3500320SV).

Overall Review: I need to use regular desktop-sized drives with this so its going to be an RMA.
