Rosewill Aluminum Multi-Functional Lapdesk RNA-9000
Rosewill Aluminum Multi-Functional Lapdesk RNA-9000

Pros: * Rosewill please take note below:

Cons: This is important and I hope Rosewill will take note. The table has a lip that holds your laptop in place as you rotate the table to near vertical. That lip is just the edge of the material. IMHO that edge needs a rubber edge guard to keep it from digging into the laptop. Something similar to a edge guard on a car door wood do nicely.

Overall Review: I am going out to an auto parts store to buy some plastic edge guard to put over the rolled edge. I hope Rosewill will make it a standard part of the table

50/50 shot you'll make a coaster!

TDK 8.5GB 8X DVD+R DL 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model 48973
TDK 8.5GB 8X DVD+R DL 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model 48973

Pros: The price was reasonable before I realized every other disk was garbage (so the price was actually double) and you can't beat Newegg's fast delivery and GREAT CS.

Cons: Every other disk is a coaster on a drive (TS-H553A) that has NEVER produced a single one using media from any other maker. I will never by these disks again. They are pure garbage.

ORICO 2.5'' Hard Drive Enclosure Type-C USB 3.1 Gen2 to SATA 6Gbps Computer External HDD Enclosure for 7 9.5mm HDD SSD Support UASP Compatible WD Seagate Toshiba Samsung Hitachi PS5-2139C3-G2

Pros: Well made. Easy to use. Fast. Some of these transparent enclosures are tricky to open and close but not this one. Very easy to open and close. Makes it easy to swa drives in and out. USB 3.1, Type C guarantees speed.

Cons: None. A bit more pricey than others but it's worth the extra money.

Overall Review: See Pros

Click of death 2 of 3

Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Size, price

Cons: 2 of 3 used died after a few months of use.

Overall Review: I purchased 3 of these and made the mistake of not putting them right into service. I kept them to use as hot replacements. BAD IDEA! When I finally had to use 2 of them, both of them died in less than 12 months yet because I had them on the shelf, the warranty is just about up. The drive industry has really changed. Disks seem much less reliable these days and I am only going to buy ones with long warranties and proven track records.

Great little Media Server

GIGABYTE GB-BXA8-5557 (rev. 1.0) AMD Bolton M3 Mini / Booksize Barebone System
GIGABYTE GB-BXA8-5557 (rev. 1.0) AMD Bolton M3 Mini / Booksize Barebone System

Pros: A lot of machine for little money Lot of power and capability packed into a tiny box Makes a great home server Great Plex server Runs WHS 2011 (See below how to get USB 3 working)

Cons: * Little fans are louder than they need to be. I bet if I wanted I could swap them out for better ones but they don't bother me enough to find out * Some say it runs hot (hasn't been a problem for me) and thermal efficiency can be improved with better application of thermal paste.

Overall Review: I put 16gb and an internal mSATA drive in it and paired it with an external 4gb usb 3,0 drive and it is a great Plex/WHS 2011 server. I use another for backups so this one is dedicated to media serving and file sharing and it performs flawlessly. In order to get the USB 3 drivers to install in WHS 2011 (Windows Server 2008) you need to manually edit the inf files and change the OS version restriction from Win 7 to Server 2008. You can find exact instructions using Google. If you want a small media server for Plex or alike, this is perfect and inexpensive.

Good for a year

SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 1TB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE1T0BW
SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 1TB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE1T0BW

Pros: Worked great for a year and a year ago, the price and speed were good, a year later. I'm on my 3rd one

Cons: The drive began to slow and eventually stopped booting after about 1 year. It got to the point where the drive couldn't even be accessed. So, after I jumped through a bunch a hoops and waited a month I got a replacement that was totally DOA. I am now waiting for my 3rd one to show up. It been 3 or 4 business days and it hasn't even shipped yet and no ETA on when it will. Samsung must be getting a lot of 1 year olds being returned lately.

Overall Review: I also purchased 2 HyperX for other machines over 2 years ago and they still haven't had a single problem.
