D-Link WNA-2330 Wireless G Notebook Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this card based on my experience using another WNA-2330 for a day.I was using it for WEP cracking and so needed monitor mode and packet injection capability.I bought this card when it was only $10, so even if I got the wrong chipset and it only does monitor mode, that would have been fine.I fired up BackTrack, fired up airodump-ng and monitor mode worked like a charm. I have not used it for packet injection yet, though the other WNA-2330 worked with default settings in BackTrack for packet injection.

Pros: Super cheap and compatible with research tools out-of-the-box.Lights indicate power and transmition.

Cons: Does not have a port for an antenna, so that may require some exta work.

Video Display Converter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the Griffin model that's selling for almost twice this much on Apple's website. It is capable of carrying audio over HDMI from my 13" Macbook Pro 2010 model. Seems like a strong converter. I have no fear of it bending and tearing over time. Everything looks and sounds great.

Actiontec Wireless USB Network Adapter (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this adapter for my older laptop that does not have a built in "N" card. It was easy to install with Vista OS, real plug and play. Once installed, it was able to see almost all networks in my area, and connected easily to my network. I moved my laptop around the house, out to the backyard, no problems. All in all, it is a nice addition to older machines.
Pros: Driver is already stored on the adapter and installs automatically when you plug it in.
Quick and easy installation, plug it in, and in a few munities you're done.
Received signal thru walls, and far from the modem.
Speed is about average both up and down stream.
Cons: Too large and unsuitable for laptops, will block the adjacent USB port unless you use the USB extension cable.
Will not work with Mac.
As other reviewers noted, the package is hard to open, environmentally unfriendly, and too large. I wish they packed it in a small box.

StarTech.com METAL 5.25 TO 3.5IN DRIVE-ADPT BRACKET Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To mount a 3.5" hard drive in a 5.25" (CD/DVD) bay, this is all you need...and the price is right.You may spend a few minutes trying to figure out which way is up with these guys, but install it as shown in the photo linked to this page, and you'll have no trouble.The *slots* go against the drive, and your screw driver goes through the large oval holes to tighten them down.Then there are 4 machine screw holes on the outer flange to let you mount everything to your case.

Screws are included...If you don't have nimble fingers, you'll probably end up frustrated trying to get them started.It goes without saying that you shouldn't succumb to the temptation to use a magnetic screw driver when installing a hard drive.

2.5" To 3.5" Ssd/sata Convert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some sites' reviewers are complaining this is overpriced.True you can get 2.5" to 3.5" drive rails quite easily for only a couple bucks.The point of this product, however, is that it makes the 2.5" drive FIT into SATA backplanes and drive bays made to directly slide/hot-swap 3.5" drives.For this product's concept, I give it 5 stars.

Unfortunately, its construction is rather cheap.It consistently got jammed in one of my drive bays.In general, I am comparing to VelociRaptor HLFS "backplane" ice packs which don't have any issues and are almost too high of quality.Because of the construction and occasional fit issues, I knock it down to 4 stars.

Finally, the ventilation is very poor.When used with SSDs, it is fine, but with a normal laptop hard drive (I used a single platter 7200 RPM), and the drive got extremely hot.Thus, I give it 3 stars net.

If you REALLY need a good backplane adapter for hard drives, I'm afraid the only good ones come with the WD VelociRaptors which cost $150+.For SSDs, though, it is adequate.Also, note that Icy Dock has a newer, cheaper/simpler product for SSDs that I have not used.

Product Description:
ICY DOCKs MB882 series can convert most of 2.5 SATA and SSD hard drive into a 3.5 SATA drive. It has enough ventilation to keep the 2.5 drive cool and can protect your drive.

It is very convenient for gamers and power users who expect SSD speed on their home/ office computers. Mostly, it is designed to fit into most common PC cases, 3.5 HDD duplicator, 3.5 SATA HDD enclosure, mobile rack, and backplane modules without having to purchase any attachments for the 2.5 drives. This state-of-the-art case will revolutionize the way 2.5 drives are presently used.

PSATA IDE Ultra ATA 100/133 To SATA Converter Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted to say that I was able to get this adapter to work in the Intel D865GBF, D865GLC and D875PBZ series of motherboards -- this is the important part to note, this adapter will ONLY work when plugged into the back of an IDE hard drive or DVD/CDROM device! This device is only meant to convert in that direction only. If you try to plug it into a motherboard's 40pin IDE port hoping that it will convert to SATA hard drives or DVD/CDROMs, it will NOT do that! There is a different adapter sold on amazon that has two SATA connectors, one for each direction if you intend to have a bi-directional adapter.

Here are two important TIPs, make sure the connector is plugged in over all 40 IDE pins, I have made the mistake more then once of not centering the plug over all 40 pins and be off by one column and therefore causing it to not work. The second one is probably more crucial, the pins on the back of the board almost butt up and make contact to the hard drives metal case -- which if it does that, it will short circuit the power supply and cause it to blow or short circuit!! What I recommend is that you put some electrical tape on the back side to cover the exposed metal pins so it wont make contact to the hard drive case. Or you can just make sure you dont plug the IDE connector all the way in, leaving a small gap -- but this may prevent the data pins from making full contact if you do this...You can also use non-conductive anti-static foam or bag to create a protective barrier.

Kanex iAdapt MDPHDMIV2 HDMI V2 - Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Kanex V2 adapter works as advertised.If you own a recent model MacBook Pro, this adapter will transmit BOTH video AND sound. I own the 15" i5 MacBook Pro and I can get both video and sound.

It's important for people who buy this to make sure that they set the System Preferences so that their video and sound work on their TVs.

First for Video, make sure you choose the the setting you want under ->System Preferences->Displays->Duplicate.I use this so that my TV will display exactly what's on my MacBook Pro.You can keep this unchecked if you want your TV to be an extension to your MacBook Pro.Just drag that second image of the screen meant to be your TV around until you have it the way you like.

Second, for the sound you have to make sure you choose the sound to transmit through the HDMI to your TV instead of through your Macbook Pro speakers.To do that go under ->System Preferences->Sound->Output->Your TV

That should do it!You will now have both video AND sound.

This device is a tiny little lightweight box which measures2" x 1.25" x .5" and the length including the box is 7.25".Remember, you'll have to get your own male to male HDMI cable to use with this because it doesn't come with one.

Startech USB 2.0 to SATA IDE Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We use these in our Tech Dept a lot.They are great for testing multiple types of hard-disk drives.Also, if you have some spare/old hard-disk drives lying around, it is a handy way to turn those drives into external backup drives.A few on our staff even have these at home to use in this manner, rather than spending money on a pre-packaged external hard-disk drive in an enclosure.There are some similar units to this out there on the market.We like the Startech as it is a little more compact, choosing to integrate the power connectors.But you have to be attentive to making sure you flip the switch on the connector to power on your device.While I wouldn't think that is such a big deal, I've seen some users get a little befuddled about that.And you don't even need the power connector when working with 2.5" IDE laptop hard-disk drives, as they will be powered via the USB port.

Scythe Bay Rafter 2.5 or 3.5 hard drive conversion to 5.25 bay Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for the best way to mount my 3 OCZ Vertex RAID drives in a 5.25" bay to free up my 3.5" internal bays and give my case a nice clean look.This Scythe Bay Rafter is what I found and I am completely impressed with the way it performs.It includes all 12 screws to mount the SSD drives as well as screws to mount the plastic rafter in the 5.25" bay if needed.If you want to give your case a nice clean professional look and increase air flow performance in your case this item works great. The only thing that I found that may give some users trouble is if you use the standard inline sata power plugs, it may create a tight fit with 3 plugged in.I used molex to (2) sata power adapters which are not inline at the plug and that works great. You will also want to use straight sata cables for at least the top two sata drives.A right angle cable will work fine for the bottom SSD.

Sennheiser BW 900 Lightweight Wireless Bluetooth Headset for Phone/Mobile Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit has some features that are superior to others I looked at.

1)The size.
The mouth piece is actually near to your mouth. I am able to talk at a normal volume and the sound level and quality of sound on the other is great. I have had other head sets with a smaller foot print where this is not the case at all. Even though this headset is not ugly is does not have the 'cool' factor that some of the smaller sets semm to go after. If function is more important to you than form, this is your headset.

2)Works with both the office phone and cell phone.
And does a great job with both. I still have to stop and concentrate when I move from one phone to the other but I'm getting near the end of the learning curve. I LOVE eliminating one device. I spend 30-40% of my week out of the office. Wireless in the office is so helpful no closeing the headset wire in drawers or getting it burried under files. With its extened range any multi tasker will increase their productivity.

3) Comfort
The head set is very comfortable. For me to say that is rare. I have never been able to stand "ear buds". Any head set that offers interchangeable earpieces has not used my ear for the mold. This speaker rests against not in your ear and works beautifully. I actually do forget I have it on.

4)Desktop charging ststion.
I handle lot of files & misc projects on my desk. I've destroyed at least 4 wired headsets. When looking for a wireless hesd set, most seem to hae a weak footprint, that I know would always be subject to being knocked over. The Sennheiser is completely stable. This part of the unit has an "office cool" factor to it. It looks, functions and feels like quality

For any one in business the productivity enhansement of this headset justifies the price.

Misc. The noise cancellation feature works great. I have been driving and had the person on the other end of the call asked if I wase still there because of the slience. I never set up the voice dialing feature on my cell phone. When I paired the Bw900 it woke up the feature and I use it all the time now. My previous Jabra headset did not do this. Battery life is better than my cell phone. Never the less I plan to order a apare battery because I would hate to be with out this head set after a day in the field because of the battery and the base station has a charging slot for the spare.

USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE Cable Adapter For 2.5 3.5 HDD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The USB to SATA/IDE adapter is very useful when you need to transfer data on the fly. It is cheap, I paid less than $10 with S&H. AS other had mentioned, the adapter is for temporary use only. It is not made to be left connected permanently as an external device. The quality is good, but it could be better. Upon receiving the adapter I gave it a try and I was able to read from 4 different drives (80MB SATA, 250MB IDE, 10MB IDE, and 40MB IDE). Here are some tips when using the adapter, First)Connect the SATA/IDE adapter and power cable to the Hard drive. Second)Connect the power cord to the outlet. Let the drive spin 20-30 Seconds before connecting the USB cable to the PC. Third)Connect USB cable to PC. After connecting the USB cable be patient. Sometimes it took up to a minute for Windows Vista to let me know that a new USB devise was found. I had problem with the second Drive I tried because I think I did the connections too fast. I retried a second time and it worked fine.
