Most Favorable Review

Not bad

IronKey 64GB W500 Workspace USB 3.0 Flash Drive
IronKey 64GB W500 Workspace USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Pros: Decent capacity, solid construction. Good performance.

Cons: IronKey preboot is somewhat time-consuming, requiring a restart each time you boot from the IronKey device. no doubt this is a function of the hardware cryptography, but it's still an annoyance.

Overall Review: In a side-by-side comparison with the Kingston DataTraveler Worskpace 64GB, the IronKey performance is similar--both are nearly indistinguishable from mechanical hard drive performance. Important notes: - This drive is designed for Windows To Go. which is available only Enterprise versions of Windows. It is not available in any consumer version of Windows. If you have Windows Ultimate, Pro, Home, or any other consumer variant, this drive is not useful to you. - Local hard drives are not visible from Windows To Go (this is by design), nor is any content on the Windows To Go thumbdrive visible when connected to a Windows PC.

Most Critical Review

Fail in seven months

INEO I-NA201U-Plus Aluminum 2.5" Black USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure
INEO I-NA201U-Plus Aluminum 2.5" Black USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure

Pros: Slim and light. Easy installation.

Cons: I bought two of these. After 7 months and 26 days of normal use, one failed. One day later, the other one failed.

Overall Review: Every connector is intact and rigidly mounted. Clearly this was a failure of one or more solid-state components.

Where your files go to die.

PNY Elite Performance 256GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) Flash Card Model P-SDX256U1H-GE

Pros: Didn't catch fire.

Cons: In the middle of a write, the SDXC card died. No warnings, no indication that anything was going wrong--just died and took almost 200 GB of data with it.

Overall Review: $100 seems like a lot of money to pay for four months of "storage" that turns into a file shredder. If your data matters to you, stick with a mainstream brand.

More than meets the eye

lenovo ThinkVision LT3053p Black 30" 6ms (GTG) WQXGA HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor AH-IPS 300 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: In addition to the VGA input listed on this product's "Details" page, this monitor also includes the following inputs (according to the Lenovo ThinkVision LT3053p product page): - Dual-Link DVI-D - HDMI 1.4 - Display Port 1.2

Cons: There's a fair amount of price fluctuation for monitors in this size category.

Lenovo 433830U ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 170W

Pros: Massive connectivity in such a slim package. Dual display connectors (one more than the 433710U) let me drive the laptop display *plus* two external monitors (Note that this feature depends on laptop support). Plus, the built in eSATA port (not available on the 433710U) lets me keep dedicated external storage at the office.

Cons: I do wish it had USB3 ports to extend the two on the W520. It's a little trickier to attach this dock to the 40Y7676 stand than it was to attach the 250410U T-series dock.

Overall Review: You can trace my history by the trail of broken and expired laptop parts--most of them bearing the DULL logo (there are a few dead Compaqs back there, too). I've never had a moment of worry with Lenovo ThinkPad laptops or accessories. They've held up flawlessly under every kind of circumstance. Every time I've needed a tough, road-worthy workhorse, Lenovo has been my reliable go-to brand. Yes, they're more expensive but I'm happy to pay more for a product I can count on.

I'm not a fanboy--but Lenovo is awesome
