Bulletproof?

Nippon Labs 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure  for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive Model EN-25SATA
Nippon Labs 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive Model EN-25SATA

Pros: I've been relentless to this little box... threw in an 80GB drive I had sitting around, automatically recognized the 2 and 72 GB partitions, and has taken very well to moving all files off, and being half-filled again, as well as file modifications. Beeps if I need to add the second USB plug for more power.

Cons: Vinyl carrying case does smell funny >.< Drive will fit loose inside this enclosure; I remedied this with a small rubber band.

Overall Review: Price was RIGHT :)

A year later :(

EAGLE Consus ET-CSDU2J-BK DUAL 3.5" SATA I/II to USB 2.0 2-BAY JBOD External Enclosure
EAGLE Consus ET-CSDU2J-BK DUAL 3.5" SATA I/II to USB 2.0 2-BAY JBOD External Enclosure

Pros: During the time it worked, it was wonderful. Easy setup.

Cons: Sadly I must rescind my previous praises. It died a week after its one-year warranty was up... how'd it know?? XP and Vista will no longer recognize any of the harddrives in the enclosure; Never could get it to work under Mint/Ubuntu live CDs. L-bracket connections on internal cables fragile. Small fan, got noisy; also doesn't offer much breathing room and gets hot.

Overall Review: Never tested the JBOD option. USB 2.0 only so <s>fast</s> for large transfers. Luckily I'd ordered an eSATA/USB T'**** ****X dock for my external HDD needs. Lost no data during transfers its dying days.

Priced too good to be true! Of c(o)urse! 4 outta 200 gigs.

SanDisk SDSQUSC-200G-AWCIA 200GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card
SanDisk SDSQUSC-200G-AWCIA 200GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card

Pros: Arrived quickly.

Cons: Micro SD card arrived with all markings scratched off, so there's no telling from looking at the card just what its capacity, or lack thereof, is. Product advertised as 200GB, what shows up on my machine formats to fifty times fewer. Angry and disappointed at this gamble.

Overall Review: Would not recommend this ripoff. Spend the eighty bucks on a new card. Haven't been this disappointed since a brand X card was given to me as purchased off (insert river name here) when a 128 gig card formatted to 8.

CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Strong, quiet, cooler-running than its 550W N**T predecessor, doesn't glow blue. &hearts; Corsair. Lots of connections, but...

Cons: Has dropped a $Grant since I got it >.< Can't remove cables, since used and unused cables get cluttered, even in my 4-year-old Antec Soho 1000 tank.

Overall Review: Looks like I didn't need a kilowatt PSU at the time after all!

Pros: Burns fine on one side, burns fine on the other.

Cons: Neither disc nor drive allows faster 'scribing. Haven't yet seen dual-layer LS discs, far from this item's fault.

Overall Review: Be sure to set your lightscribe as dark as possible!

Digital cave!

Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EACS 1TB 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I've bought two & so far, so good. Speed hasn't been a cause for my concern since I've used these as "dump drives" to move data, and eventually as designated Linux ISO/photo/video/PDF/etc. storage ... and a lot of it. Best price for a trillion-byte drive. Runs cool, says my S.T.U.P.I.D. monitor.

Cons: A paltry 931 GB once formatted, boo hiss.

Overall Review: I'll be getting more of these puppies in the coming months.

Beyond beyond

I've ordered a few trios of memory cards from this seller, in 32 and 64 gig micro SD varieties. Besides the price being unbelievably low, they arrive quickly! How do I give a sixth egg?
