Works as advertised...

DIAMOND MP700 HD Media Wonder Mini Media Player
DIAMOND MP700 HD Media Wonder Mini Media Player

Pros: Inexpensive, very small (2.5" x 2.5"), portable, works with almost any TV. RCA Video (Composite) & YUV/RGB (Component). Can use USB Flash, SD card, external HDD. Plays Divx, Xvid, MOV, MPG, Photo slide show, MP3, etc. Plays videos 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x speed, zoom, 4:3, 16:9, remembers where you left off, etc. (what I've tested)

Cons: Wish the remote would light up but that's asking to much for the price. Could not get any of my MP4 to work (All 720 & 1080 movies).

Overall Review: When I plugged the YUV/RGB (Component) the screen was red. Adjusted the 'Setting> TV System > NTSC Interlaced' to resolve the issue. If your screen blanks out testing other settings JUST PRESS THE 'RESET' ON THE REMOTE. This would make a nice gift. I also ordered the "Transcend JetFlash 500 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Blue) Model TS8GJF500" for $8 w/ free s/h, works perfect with this device. This is a simple and tiny device compared to my "WDTV Live +" which costs five times as much and has many more capabilities (Video codec, Network, Online video services, etc). I am very w/the "Diamond MP700" and perfect for the kids too. If you need to play MP4, MKV, NetFlix, Hulu+, Pandora or need HDMI then consider a "WDTV Live +". This device is worth it even if you just want to display a slide show of photos from you camera.

Great when it worked

OCZ Agility 2 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2AGTE120G
OCZ Agility 2 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2AGTE120G

Pros: Very fast and easy to install.

Cons: Died after two months. OCZ tech support is poor and slow. So far 10 day emailing back and forth waiting from an RMA. I have read once you get and RMA and send in the defective drive it takes OCZ three weeks to send the replacement. :(

Overall Review: OCZ tech support is terrible. I woul not buy any other product from them due to their support. :(

Great idea, Bad quality

Zalman ZM-VE300-SE Aluminum Alloy, Acryl, Poly Carbonate 2.5" White SATA I/II USB 3.0 ZM-VE300 HDD External Enclosure with Virtualization and One Touch Back-up

Pros: Great concept if it would last.

Cons: First one LCD screen would show black squares. Second the special connector on the back does not make good contact with the USB cord.

Overall Review: This is the second RMA I'm requesting for this product. SInce it's 35 days of ownership (Total of days since I ordered the first one, RMA, got the second one and another issue)

Dead again
