Great Brand/Price/Card

Kingston 2GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card Model SD/2GB
Kingston 2GB Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card Model SD/2GB

Pros: For 16 bucks, you can't beat it. This is a great standard card for digicams and standard use. Wouldn't recommend for mp3 players or for high-speed storage devices if you require better speed/performance ratio.

Cons: None. Kingston makes solid flash media.

Overall Review: To those who want to know the difference between this card and other SD cards which may be more expensive, look at the specifications for each card to find your specific price/performance/stability needs.

Last of the good gen3 ssds

SAMSUNG 980 M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 V-NAND MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V8V1T0B/AM
SAMSUNG 980 M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 V-NAND MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V8V1T0B/AM

Pros: Its a no-brainer to get this at a lower cost over the 970 Evo Plus. Fast and trusty. Got it on sale. Not much more to say it works great and its fast.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: This probably the last new gen3 model Samsung will put out until theyre all overprices gen4s. Maybe theyll come out with a plus version like the 970 evo but if you can snag this around $100 get it.

Works as intended.

Monster Cable iSplitter 1000 Splitter for iPad, iPhone and iPod
Monster Cable iSplitter 1000 Splitter for iPad, iPhone and iPod

Pros: Neat design, optional volume control on each output is a cool feature. Will split any audio source with 3.5mm output regardless of description (iPad, iPhone, iPod).

Cons: This thing is huge for a simple audio splitter. The short cable from the output jack to the splitter is not very flexible at all, it's really stiff and makes the whole thing stick out like a sore thumb. Not a huge deal, but when it's plugged in to a small device it adds some bulk.

Overall Review: Typical Monster Cable fashion over-design, but for $9 you can't go wrong.

Good Enclosure

Rosewill RX81U-ES-25A 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Rosewill RX81U-ES-25A 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Does what it's supposed to do: holds a 2.5" SATA drive securely, easy USB interface (with an extra plug for added power, great for using when running a laptop on battery power) and was utilized perfectly from the start. The pouch it comes with is an added bonus.

Cons: Only thing I didn't like was how the LED activity light was placed in the back of the enclosure instead of the front and does not show very well.

Overall Review: Bought this so I could easily migrate my laptop drive to a larger HDD, and to use to clone my old HDD to the new one, then use the enclosure for my old HDD as storage. Worked great from the start.

Good Laptop HDD Replacement

Seagate Momentus 7200.3 ST9250421AS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Notebooks Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Momentus 7200.3 ST9250421AS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Notebooks Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: This drive is nice and quiet, runs relatively cool for a 7200rpm and is priced well. If you lookup this drive at Tom's Hardware, you will see it outperforms many in its class. A fairly noticable difference in write performance from replacing my 5200rpm drive, and a nice boost in read.

Cons: An easily noticeable difference in power consumption, this drive is very power hungry.

Overall Review: I replaced my old 5200rpm Seagate (stock) drive in my Lenovo T61 with this and noticed only a slight difference in performance (Vista). My boot time was only improved slightly. Good replacement drive for the $$$.
