Great adapter

Rosewill RNA-U100PRO Universal Notebook Power Adapter 100W with USB Power Port
Rosewill RNA-U100PRO Universal Notebook Power Adapter 100W with USB Power Port

Pros: Adapter tips for pretty much any laptop, hence it being a universal adapter lol. Voltage selector is a HUGE plus; It has a little LED light so you can see the LED screen on the voltage selector in the dark/under a desk/etc. Has a USB port to plug in and charge a phone/media player/etc. For its price, this is an awesome deal.

Cons: Minus one egg because one died on me after 4 months. RMA was fairly painless with Newegg. New one has been going strong for 3 months. we'll see what happens in the near future. Oh yeah. The LED light on the actual power unit is blue and ridiculously bright. The cables could be a bit longer too. Especially the one that goes from the power unit to the laptop. Minus another egg for those issues. This thing will not let you down if you take care of it. It can take a beating but keep it away from even slight humidity. It doesn't seem sealed enough to be moisture-tight by any means. The power unit gets pretty warm.

Overall Review: Got this because a new OEM power adapter for my HP G60-120US from HP or even Newegg was $80+. This seemed like a good option and it has been. Would be 4 eggs if it hadn't died after a few months. Over all, judging on it's performance and cost, it's hard to beat, especially when you consider all of its features. Important sidenote: Most smartphones charge using ~1 amp. The USB port on the power unit puts out half an amp. So you still might be able to charge it, but it will charge slow. iPhone probably wouldn't charge. I havn't tried to charge a device like that though. Works for my phone and my Sandisk Sansa.

Barely works

Wavlink USB 3.0 to SATA I/II/II Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5" 3.5" SATA HDD/SSD Enclosure 2x 16TB Hard Drive Enclosure With UASP, Support Offline Clone Duplicator, Auto Sleep

Pros: Not really any Ive found trying to use it. Looks nice.

Cons: I think it might be defective. I tried the clone function and the lights on the device do not act like they are described as acting and in videos, clone function does not work at all. Plugging this into USB 3 and 3.1 ports on an Ubuntu 24.04 machine is very, very unstable. Plugging into a USB 2 port on the same machine is better but also not stable. I was able to get it to work over USB 2 very slowly but reliably on a 20 year old laptop. Something is definitely wrong with this unit.

Overall Review: Just does not work the way it is supposed to.

Simple and easy

TP-Link 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch | Plug and Play | Metal | Desktop/Rackmount | Fanless(TL-SG1016D)
TP-Link 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch | Plug and Play | Metal | Desktop/Rackmount | Fanless(TL-SG1016D)

Pros: The device just works. Plug and play, plug and go! Zero-configuration 1gig home tcp/ip Ethernet networking solution for my dads house in my case. Works flawlessly for this use case, even with older CAT wiring (some of it was originally wired for CAT4). Metal, very sturdy; came with a mounting bracket. Great indicator light configuration. Stays relatively cool even with high traffic.

Cons: None in this case.

Overall Review: Would definitely buy again. This is a great piece of hardware for a home network.

Always works

Tripp Lite 8in HDMI to DVI Cable Adapter Converter HDMI Male to DVI-I Female 8"

Pros: For a few years I have used this in various configurations alone and with other adapters, and it has never not worked.

Cons: None that I have seen

Overall Review: Simple, does what it says and lives up to and sometimes has exceeded my expectations.

One of the best

Rosewill RC-405X 10/100Mbps 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch
Rosewill RC-405X 10/100Mbps 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch

Pros: This thing has endurance. I have had it running for almost 7 months and have had to only reset it once, almost 100% uptime since I turned it on the first time and plugged it in. Truly plug-and-play, extremely reliable. My unit stays very cool, contrary to what some other reviewers have reported. As fast as a 10/100 switch can be for home use.

Cons: It doesn't make me breakfast. It is too light. 4 usable ports when up-linked to another switch/router, I knew and expected this before I bought it so no eggs knocked off the rating.

Overall Review: UPDATE Sept. 2019: Both of these that I bought back in 2010 are still humming along. I never have to reset them. They literally always work, and are truly "invisible" (strictly layer-2 store-and-forward) on my home network as a simple unmanaged switch should be. The 8 port model is garbage compared to this. I always forget these exist then sometimes notice the link/act lights and go oh yeah, those are a thing. Perfection. This is the best switch I have ever used at this price point. Rosewill makes some super awesome products at the right price.
