Works

cirago 500GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive CST4500
cirago 500GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive CST4500

Pros: Works

Cons: Kind of slow. All USB drives are slow, but this one seems slower than others.

Overall Review: I bought this to backup my sons PS3 so I could upgrade his HD and not lose his data. It worked fine for that. A plus is it comes formatted as FAT32 so I was able to use it as is for this purpose. I now use it to backup home videos and photos. I hook it up, and copy the new files. When done, I unplug it and put it away. That way I don't have to worry about power surges. I've done this twice. I do this because I've had bad experiences with USB hard drives that are always connected. They all seem to be junk. I reformatted it to NTFS without issue. I guess what I'm trying to say is the unit arrived and isn't defective.

OK. Good for cost.

Pros: OK sound. Low cost.

Cons: Hard to put banana plugs in speaker

Overall Review: This is a great speaker for the cost. 5 stars for what you get for the money. However, this isn't a great speaker. I have speakers that are way better than this so I can't give it 5 stars. I plan on using this for presence speakers with my Yamaha receiver. It will fit the bill since I don't need a broad frequency response. For surrounds it's an OK speaker. For fronts, I wouldn't consider it. It only goes down to 80Hz. It not bi-ampible. I had trouble getting banana plugs in it. It was very tight. Higher end speakers have much better terminals than these.

Pros: Fast Quiet

Overall Review: Much faster than my old card. Can play older games at 4K with no issues. Had troubles at first, but it was because I have 2 monitors and was testing with the one I didn't hook up. Doh. Card won't make you smarter.
