Just Works

BELKIN F5U407 USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub
BELKIN F5U407 USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub

Pros: Not much to say about it besides it works. It also looks great. I use it with my MacBook Pro. I love the shape so the ports are spread out a little and there is plenty of cable for it to dangle so it doesn't get in the way of any other ports.

Cons: none

Overall Review: not much else to say about a $13 4-port hub.

Most Critical Review

DOA

Seagate Pushbutton Backup 300GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive ST3300601U2-RK
Seagate Pushbutton Backup 300GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive ST3300601U2-RK

Pros: Never powered up.

Cons: DOA

Overall Review: NewEgg of course got it to me real fast and has a great price, however mine was DOA. It won't power on. Its on its way back to NewEgg for a replacement, so I'll post another review then.

Just Amazing

Pros: I bought this mobo to replace my ASUS P4P800-MX and so far its been great. Easy install and worked right away. Using Corsair XMS2 1GB Memory and Intel P4 EM64T 3.0Ghz.

Cons: the only downside for me is the ide cable for your drives is at the very bottom of the board and since I have a short blue UV round ide cable for my DVD-Writer, I was forced to move the drive to the bottom drive bay for the cable to reach. It would have made more sense to put it up by the floppy connector maybe instead of next to the sata ports.

Great Drive

Pros: I bought this mainly as a boot drive. Its fast and makes no noise plus its pretty cheap. I use it with a Seagate 300GB External. Plan to purchase another one of these drives soon.

Cons: none

So Far So Good

Seagate Pushbutton Backup 300GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive ST3300601U2-RK

Pros: My first one was DOA but NewEgg got me a replacement pretty fast. Its my first external HDD and so far its been great. I love the look of it, very slick. It doesn't make any noise and is fast. I use it to store about 200 GB of files (mainly graphics/web design) and use it daily.

Cons: none

Works Great

Pros: I bought this to give me a few extra USB ports and for the firewire ports. I'm using it with the ASUS P5B mobo and everything works great. Its cheap and does exactly what its suppose to, you can't ask for more.

Cons: none
