Most Critical Review

Not as advertised

Pros: Correct fit.

Cons: Contrary to what is shown in the picture, this cable has no ferrites!

Excellent in every way.

SYBA Connectland CL-SPK20116 2x3W RMS Multimedia Stereo Speakers with Easy Access Volume Control Knob, USB Powered

Pros: Great sound from small speakers, nice blue light glow to indicate power on. USB power works perfectly. A great set of speakers to use for work stations or the computer in the guest room. The volume is surprisingly loud, and is easily controllable with its volume knob.

Cons: None, there is no cons here, but remember these are small inexpensive speakers, so don't expect booming loud bass.

works great

Tripp Lite P007-002 2 ft. Heavy-Duty 14AWG Power cord (IEC-320-C13 to NEMA 5-15P)

Pros: The cord works great, the short length is exactly what i needed to clean up clutter. The cord fits perfectly into my Dell monitor screen, the fit is tight and secure.

Cons: Price, why is this so expensive?

Must use ferrite bead USB cable

Fantom Drives GreenDrive Pro 2TB USB 2.0 / eSATA 3.5" External Hard Drive GDP2000EU
Fantom Drives GreenDrive Pro 2TB USB 2.0 / eSATA 3.5" External Hard Drive GDP2000EU

Pros: An inexpensive 2TB drive that runs fast and silent. Very reliable.

Cons: It used to freeze up, but that problem was solved with the use of USB ferrite bead cable, see below.

Overall Review: A USB cable with ferrite beads must be used. When I run this drive using a cable without ferrite beads it feezes up becoming completly non-responsive. Simply by using a USB cable with ferrite beads it runs perfectly.

Inexpensive and works great

Kingston FCR-HS219/1 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader
Kingston FCR-HS219/1 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader

Pros: Inexpensive and works prefectly!

Cons: What does a company that is named after a South Africa town feature an Easter Island Moai?

Overall Review: The slide out / slide in feature is odd, the instructions give no rational for this feature, I think this serves as some sort of dust cover?
