Most Favorable Review

Nice High Density Hub

Koutech IO-HU1300 13-Port USB 2.0 External Hub
Koutech IO-HU1300 13-Port USB 2.0 External Hub

Pros: Gives you 13 ports in a box hardly bigger than some 4 port hubs. Very easy to plug in a lot of USB toys. Truly plug and play with Linux.

Cons: Only has a power light. No LED per port to tell you if that port is active. Wall wart not big enough to provide 500mA to each port, so don't expect more than a few scanners or HDs directly off the hub.

Uh, oh.

SYBA USB 3.0 4-port PCI-Express x1 Controller Card, VLI VL80x Chip Model SD-PEX20133

Pros: Dunno

Cons: The VLI chip oes not work hardly at all under Linux 3.6.5. Maybe not the cards fault, but still no good for me.

Unuseable

ieGeek Full HD 1080P PoE IP Camera with Voice Recording,Home Security Surveillance Camera Outdoor Waterproof, 82ft Night Vision, Motion Detection & Alarm

Pros: Cheap, under $50 on sale. Solid and waterproof. Nice image quality

Cons: Minimal doc. modes like rtsp, and most config options, have zero doc. Needs Adobe Flash Plugin to access from web browser. Adobe has announced end of support for Adobe Flash in 2020, So for now I can use from Chome (built-in flash), after I accept the security warnings dialog, But soon this will be useless. I tried getting video using the open rtsp port (544), but no luck ("Failed to recognize file format.") I tried to access using ONVIF, using Android Onvifer. It detected the device as an ONVIF, but could not connect. It support insecure FTP, but not secure SCP. The Download and FAQ pages on the vendor site are 404. This product not on their web site.

Overall Review: The hardware is good, the firmware, support, and doc are poor.

Pros: Just got it. Fast. Good price.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: blondie ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 19038 MB in 2.00 seconds = 9528.12 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 56 MB in 3.10 seconds = 18.08 MB/sec No idea how long it will last, I do burn SD cards up fast.

Shoulda been good

Stalion® Hub Universal 6-Port Multiple USB Desktop Charger with Micro USB Cable
Stalion® Hub Universal 6-Port Multiple USB Desktop Charger with Micro USB Cable

Pros: Small size, 6 ports, 60W

Cons: Sure, this charges my Galaxy Note 4, but not very fast. I have several USB V/A meters and other USB chargers, so I can do lot's of A/B tests. This charger will not put more than 4 Watts into my phone. My Tronsmart IQ brand charger will put in 18Watts.

Overall Review: I have 3 Raspberry Pi's, will be adding more. I'll use this charger for those, seems to work OK so far. Do not consider this for any Quick Charge (QC) 2.0 device.

Good for charging

Cons: None
