Most Favorable Review

Burns Great

Verbatim 25GB 6X BD-R 10 Packs Spindle Disc Model 97238
Verbatim 25GB 6X BD-R 10 Packs Spindle Disc Model 97238

Pros: Great burns at 6x on Lite-On IHBS112-29

Cons: nada.

Overall Review: I also tried the Verbatim 6x LTH media... These only resulted in coasters.

Most Critical Review

Water just trickles out

Rosewill Electric 4.0 Liter Water Boiler and Warmer Dispenser R-HAP-01
Rosewill Electric 4.0 Liter Water Boiler and Warmer Dispenser R-HAP-01

Pros: This definitely boils water and keeps it hot.

Cons: Sometimes the water dispenses out just nicely. But, half the time, it just trickles out. This makes for a very poor cup of black tea, and takes forever to fill the cup. This should not dispense water like a drip coffee maker, but it does.

Bad Discs

Verbatim 25GB 6X BD-R LTH 20 Packs Spindle LTH Type Disc Model 97344
Verbatim 25GB 6X BD-R LTH 20 Packs Spindle LTH Type Disc Model 97344

Pros: Nice Coasters.

Cons: 3 out of 3 burns failed at 6x on Lite-On IHBS112-29 with newest firmware.

Overall Review: The non-LTH Verbatim 6x work well with the Lite-On IHBS112-29... I'll stick with those.

Frequency Respone is Terrible

Isymphony NC2 Circumaural Noise Canceling Stereo Headphone
Isymphony NC2 Circumaural Noise Canceling Stereo Headphone

Pros: The noise canceling feature will greatly reduce low-frequency noise like a fan.

Cons: Music from these headphones is definitely muffled. The higher frequencies are attenuated, and the highest frequencies don't come through at all. This is true if the noise canceling is turned on or not.

Overall Review: I have a $12 headphones with no noise canceling that sounds much better than these.

Killed a hard drive of mine

Vantec NexStar 3 3.5" SATA to USB 2.0 & eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure (Midnight Blue) - Model NST-360SU-BL
Vantec NexStar 3 3.5" SATA to USB 2.0 & eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure (Midnight Blue) - Model NST-360SU-BL

Pros: None.

Cons: I wish I could give this a negative rating since it fried one of my 500 GB harddrives.

Overall Review: The 5V and 12 V pins were reversed on the diagram on the power adapter compared to the diagram on the rear of the hard drive enclosure. This caused the enclosure to fry my brand new SATA drive.
