Works well, plug and play

Wavlink USB 3.0/USB C Universal Laptop Dual Monitor Display Docking Station with HDMI & DVI / VGA,6 USB Ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 2 USB charging(2.4A), Audio For Windows Mac OS, Not support Charging PC
Wavlink USB 3.0/USB C Universal Laptop Dual Monitor Display Docking Station with HDMI & DVI / VGA,6 USB Ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 2 USB charging(2.4A), Audio For Windows Mac OS, Not support Charging PC

Pros: Easy to use with Windows 10. Running two monitors off of it and a network connections. There was no need to install additional drivers or software. Plenty of ports and options.

Cons: The only thing that did not work was using a wireless keyboard and mouse. The USB dongle was plugged into the Wavlink and the mouse behavior was very sporadic. The keyboard was better but it too would go off the wall on occasion. I tried two different models of Logitech keyboards and mice, both behaved poorly. Tried the dongle in different USB ports with the same result. Tried loading different drivers and software to correct the issue, but no luck...

Overall Review: In general I think the product worked great. If you're willing to use a wired mouse and keyboard you're all set. The other option is to plug the dongle directly into the laptop.

Ok price, reliability so-so

SNT SNT-ESATA350SESRC Aluminum 3.5" x 5 Bay Black SATA I/II eSATA 5 Bay SATA to eSATA External RAID Enclosure Backplane Port Multiplier w/ 2 x 80mm fan
SNT SNT-ESATA350SESRC Aluminum 3.5" x 5 Bay Black SATA I/II eSATA 5 Bay SATA to eSATA External RAID Enclosure Backplane Port Multiplier w/ 2 x 80mm fan

Pros: Good price point. Easy to assemble.

Cons: Two GUI interfaces are provided, only one really works and it is not clear which one should be used. It is a bit loud, but pretty much what I expected. I have this setup as a RAID 10 on a SBS Server 2003 holding a number of shares. The speed is good. The problem I have had with it is the drive randomly disappears. Over two months it has happened 3 times. Rebooting the server restores the drive, but all the shared folders and permissions have to be setup again, a bit of a pain. So far the crashes have been at idle times over the weekends and I've been able to recover quick enough for business on Monday. If it continues I will have to go to another solution.

Overall Review: I contacted SNT by email over the weekend and did not receive an answer on Monday, so I called. Apparently support is overseas. The info I sent was forwarded on and I was told to expect an answer in a day or two.

Performs well, fairly reliable

WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm Solid State Drive - WDS500G2B0A
WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm Solid State Drive - WDS500G2B0A

Pros: Good speed out of the device. All of the systems I have put them in have recognize the device. I have purchased 6 of these drives to upgrade systems. The performance increase in boot time, opening programs and accessing data is very noticeable.

Cons: After less than a year one had died. RMA is in process... All the others continue to work.

Overall Review: Offhand I have had a few SSD drives from different manufacturers die over the years. I still think they are worthwhile and the best practice is a good backup.

Easy to use

Icy Dock MB290SP-B | Tool-less Dual 2.5" to 3.5" HDD Drive Bay SSD Mount / Kit / Bracket / Adapter | EZ-Fit Lite

Pros: It's tool-less, don't need to search for screws. Has a lot of mounting holes so it can fit into just about anything. Great for SSDs.

Cons: Do not use it if you want it to heatsink the drive.

Works well

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

Pros: I have purchased a few of these and they work great. Converts in either direction.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Having it available in different lengths would be nice.

Shipping issues

Do not bother with expedited shipping. After placing my order and selecting expedited shipping it took them 5 business days to ship a laptop. After the second business day I was assured that is had shipped and given a tracking number. Checking on the tracking number three days later I found the package never shipped. Upon complaining they apparently shipped it later that day. In the meantime I requested a refund/RMA. Which they have denied. In the meantime because I needed the laptop before going on vacation I had to purchase one locally. Do not trust this merchant..
