ADATA 16GB Class 6 Micro SDHC Flash Card with SD adaptor Model AUSDH16GCL6-RA1
ADATA 16GB Class 6 Micro SDHC Flash Card with SD adaptor Model AUSDH16GCL6-RA1

Pros: Big capacity, good price, works with Blackberry Bold

Cons: None

Overall Review: I wanted to upgrade the storage space on my Blackberry Bold so I could store more cached stations on it using Slacker Radio. This card worked fine out of the box, all it needed was to be formatted which the BB did for me with no trouble. Now I have tons of space for multimedia. I didn't really notice a performance increase with it being a Class 6 card (as opposed to my previous 2GB microSD card), but I think it's that the BB is processing data as fast as it can already. However when transferring files from my computer, I was getting transfer rates around 7MB/s. As a warning to Slacker Radio users, the application has a maximum limit of 25 stations that can be cached on a memory card. So even though with 16GB I should be able to cache over 100 stations, I can only do 25. For me personally, 25 stations is more than enough for me. A-Data has two other cards on Newegg, they all come with the same MicroSDHC card, it's just the adapters and the price, so I went with the lowest price.

Pros: Supports WPA2, decent range

Cons: slow transfer rates

Overall Review: I bought this to put in my htpc in the living room running Xubuntu Linux. After some playing around I got Ubuntu to recognize it and install the drivers to get it working. I mainly have this so I can transfer multimedia from my desktop to my htpc wirelessly via ftp. This is where I'm disappointed. Typically my laptop with an ASUS wireless G card gets transfer rates around 2.5MB/s when retrieving files. This card varies quite a bit, but after trying the antenna in different positions I can get it to transfer at a steady 1MB/s, and the machine is only one room away.

Just what I needed

Overall Review: Let me connect my windows PC and Mac book pro to the same two monitors and keyboard + mouse. My PC had one Display port to HDMI cable which worked fine with this setup. Also I've noticed the 3rd USB cable for power isn't necessary. As long as one of the connected computers is on it can power the switch automatically. Windows would sometimes give a message that a device isn't recognized however I've had zero issues with my displays or peripherals. Headphone jack I've yet to get to work, however I can live without it.

Overall Review: Bought two of these to replace a dual monitor setup and I am very happy with them. I really like the picture quality on these monitors. Also I like the simple design with a single button/mini joystick to setup and power the monitor. Just plug it in and that's it, it works. Nice thin bezel looks great when putting two of these side by side.
