Pros: Looking for a way to get secure, low-cost storage, I came across this little gem. Four of these, combined with a 4x1 carrier, and I have 1.8GB of RAID-protected storage for my home videos & pictures. When I bought it, they included 1yr of warranty coverage, so I can "limp" along while I get a replacement. My other option for the same lvl of protection was 2x 1.5GB USB drives. These aren't speed demons, but are certainly faster than USB 2.0.

Cons: normally I stay away from refub HDD, but with a warranty (as good as most you get these days) the risk is mitigated.

Pros: Inexpensive (at least when I got them) Packets often arrive at the remote destination

Cons: Disconnects, often doesn't reach rated speed.

Overall Review: I had a set of TP-Link 200Mbps powerline adapters that worked like a charm. Truly plug and play. These have disconnected three times in the two months I've used them, and don't reconnect on their own. I have to go press the button on them to reset them. They get two eggs for mostly working most of the time, but that's being extremely generous.

Pros: Cheap, functional, reasonably comfortable, gives you media playback in a mono bluetooth device (with stereo if you want it). I listen to a lot of podcasts, and most bluetooth headsets that are designed for calls won't play media audio. This device does. I can listen to a podcast, and people just think I have a bluetooth headset in my ear. If I want to "tune out" I can plug the other earpiece in, but I rarely do. Battery lasts *forever* -- like weeks. I've never run out of juice. I just bought this second one so when I lose this one (which I've done for as much as a month or more) I don't go without my podcasts. Plus now I have a second set of accessories. the charger cradle is really nice and works very well. The rotating earbud really makes this very comfortable, it's very easy to get it in a position that fits my ear.

Cons: I have had occasional complaints about phone audio quality (mostly being very quiet). The microphone is on the top of the device, instead of at the end. I usually point the device down to the floor when I'm on a call and there are no more complaints.

Overall Review: Good price for a good product, bought a second one for convenience.

Pros: I spent a lot of time figuring out what gaming headset I wanted to use, and I hit a homer with this one. Built-in batteries mean it can just plug it in to my phone's micro-USB charger, no swapping out batteries. Charge lasts a week or so of gaming. The mic auto-mutes when you flip it up, goes hot when you flip it down, it's very convenient & effective. independent volume controls on the headset for game audio & chat audio. Great sound quality & range

Cons: Recommends connecting using the composite video cable that came with my PS3 (which I was practically offended by; why did they pack in that cable with a high-def machine?) Was able to connect it to the audio-out of my TV, so no real loss, but could be a pain for others.

Pros: Well-built, good value, if you don't already have a RAID set up on your motherboard

Cons: Where do I start? Oh, how about booting. Or as I like to call it, the bathroom AND coffee AND go-get-a-donut break. JIMMINY CHRISTMAS this thing takes FOREVER to start up. I only have to reboot when windows makes me, and I guess this would be OK for a server which never gets rebooted, but if you shut down every night, this is NOT for you. Oh, and if you turn off the enclosure? Eh, the BIOS is just going to sit around almost as long trying to figure out if there's anything connected. Bleh. Let's see, who else is it NOT for? Oh, right anyone who already HAS a RAID array on their motherboard. You know, your motherboard with the half-dozen SATA ports? Hope you weren't using those for anything RAID-like. Because this baby won't even let windows start when that's on. Something about the BIOSes conflicting, and SANS Digital has a bios update, blah blah no thanks. I bought this to replace the RAID I have. How can I replace the RAID I have, if I can't boot them up at the same time? How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat kind of question. I guess I could hook up the array to my laptop... Oh right, that is CON #3. The "free" SATA card they provide? That's not a bonus. That's REQUIRED. The external box itself is completely brainless, and relies on the card to do all its thinkin'. Which means you can't move this enclosure around, in case you were thinking you might do that. You can't. So get used to it.

Overall Review: This box is excellent for people who have LOTS and LOTS of extra time to boot their computers & futz with bioses. I'm getting one of the Mediasonic devices with built-in RAID hardware.

Pros: One Remote to RULE THEM ALL. Seriously, keeping the the PS3 remote around b/c it wasn't IR is a major pain. Especially since pressing ANY BUTTON on that remote started up the PS3. What the hell was that about? With this remote, you can switch off the PS3 function, so no accidental start-ups!

Cons: Kind of cramped, it "forgets" what mode it's in after sitting a while. if you're pressing buttons & nothing's happening, look at the top of the remote. Chances are none of the device buttons is lighting up (the device keys light up when you press a function key). Press the device button you're trying to control and away you go.

Overall Review: No idea why this is just about the only thing on the market to do this, but I'm glad it does.

Arrived almost a week ahead of promised date. Right before a holiday weekend, these guys banged it out and got it to me, just on basic shipping. I love companies that under-promise and over-deliver. MBA+ in my book

Ordered with standard shipping via preferred account, and got my package not even two days later. Even Ama$on doesn't ship that fast!
