Most Favorable Review

Nice device

Argosy HV335T Mobile Video HDD Media Player
Argosy HV335T Mobile Video HDD Media Player

Pros: Nice picture, works on almost all formats tried

Cons: 1) Missing Dolby Digital True HD support 2) Remote "arrow-arrow-vertical Bar" buttons advance file and not chapter. This can likely be fixed in a firmware update (if they ever happen)

Overall Review: I do recommend the unit.

Most Critical Review

eSATA problems

Mapower TB32CS-01-1A Front & Rear Panel: Plastic Outer Case: Aluminum 2 x 3.5" SATA USB & eSATA External Enclosure

Pros: Works great when using usb

Cons: Does not work with eSATA under XP(32 bit), VistaUlt(64) or Vista Home Prem(64).

Overall Review: My config as raid 0, two (HITACHI 0A38016 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM44152329 (N82E16822145233) ) hard drives. It seems to hang forever under XP or Vista with eSATA cannection. (I do have other eSATA drives that work fine under all 3 OS's used)

Working

Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model 996559

Pros: Works. Installed in my HP DV9700t without a problem. Much cheaper than HP upgrade.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I am running 32 bit XP and Vista which only see 3GB but that is the OS and not the memory. With a T7500 CPU vista rates memory speed as 4.8

Pros: Functional. Includes power supply.

Cons: Plastic drive rails cheap (Floppy one broke on 1st use). Drive LED not glued to front panel. Had to remount case fan to get it to spin.

Overall Review: Not a bad choice but could use better quality control.
