Comments: Very reliable TDK quality. TDK 4x DVD-RW discs can be fully burnt in about 15 minutes. I used my laptop's NEC ND-6500A DVD burner. It is compatible with my Denon DVD player which takes only DVD-R & DVD-RW format. I'm extremely satisfied with this product. As far I can tell, this is cheapest you can find these discs anywhere on the internet. As always fast and cheap shipping from Newegg.com.

Pros: Logitech Harmony Is The "World's Best Remote. Period!!!" Let me start out by saying that any negative reviews that you hear about Logitech Harmony remotes are from people that don't have patience or from those that did not pass 5th grade. I have had Onkyo's RC model universal learning remote for more than 5 years till a few of the buttons started dying. I wasn't very sure that the Logitech Harmony 550 would work; since it had fewer buttons and you had to use a program or website to program it. But, I was proved wrong towards a very pleasant surprise by my Logitech Harmony 550. Great Features: * Can customize almost all buttons to your preference * Knows which units are on, so that only those are turned off, when you press the single power off button * Can learn any IR command from the original remote * HUGE database that already had 7 out of my 8 components... WOW! * Remote goes into power save mode after 2 hours of non usage to save battery life

Cons: Continued... * 550 model has 4 extra buttons: Sound, Picture, A & B; I'd rather have more button, hence I picked this model * LCD display itself acts as 4 additional buttons once you are into an activity such as watching tv, watching dvd etc. * Great build quality and a high quality rubberized finish throughout the bottom of the remote so that it won't slide off your hand * You can even control the speed of delay between IR signals to the same device, between devices, during power on and a couple more. Basically you can control any little thing you want to the finest level of detail with this remote Important Tips: * Software: Use the program from the CD, provided it is the latest or better version. My CD came with version 7.0.2 while the web based program is 7.0.1. I chose to use my CD program and I like the much cleaner interface of the CD program versus the web based program * Forums: The logitech forums are amazing and you can get to it from the 'More Help' -> 'Contact Us'

Overall Review: Continued... -> 'Forums'. Look for posts in this forum by a user by the name 'WannabeActuary' of 'Logi Guru' level and he seems to know answers to all your Logitech Harmony questions * Programming: The basic programming if you know all your device model numbers takes 10 minutes. For advanced i.e. more picky users you can customize the remote to perfection and you can spend a whole day doing this, because of the sheer fact that you can customize anything and everything, which is great! * Activity Buttons: Make sure that once you are inside an activity, that you customize the first two pages of the LCD screen to show the commands that you use most frequently. E.g.: In the activity of 'Watch DVD' with a DVD changer, you probably would want 'Subtitle', 'Audio', 'Next Disc', 'Previous Disc' commands are displayed on the first page of the LCD screen and so on Conclusion: In final analysis, the only thing I can say is that this is the "World's Best Remote. Period!!!"

Pros: I've burnt almost 200 DVDs of this RiData product. No problems whatsoever. No coasters, very reliable. After burning my DVD player reads everything correctly. People that are complaining must be using an old burner with outdated firmware. I use NEC and Sony DVD burners. Don't think twice about buying this product, they are very reliable and on top of everything a very very good price.

Cons: None

Comments: This is most probably a 5400 RPM drive, not 4200 as mentioned. Quiet enough, you don't hear anything from the hard drive if you have your TV running at normal volume. Get hot very quickly, especially when writing data constantly. Luckily I have it mounted in an aluminium external case, which conducts the heat out very quickly. This one will definitely make your laptop run hotter, so if that is of consideration, I'd stay away from this drive. I'd strongly recommend it for external usb storage type setup.

Comments: Excellent product by Vantec. Runs very quietly. I bought this to replace the humming bush bearing type fan in my DVR. This one runs very quietly and best of all it is ball bearing type, which means it is more reliable and will have much longer quiet life.
