Genuine Sony Ericsson CCR-70 M2 USB Memory Card Adapter - Black

Useful, Durable - Does what it should
This is a remarkably handy, reliable and compact microSD adaptor/reader that enables you to easily transfer files between your memory card and computer.

Because of what the CCR-80 does it's been of interest to a few of my friends; I have purchased more solely for them (I think it's been about 5 so far) and the products are always received quickly and good condition as you'd expect them to be.

It has a great build, the pivoting cover idea works great for the protection of your Micro SD and I love that you can have one memory card in your phone and use the CCR-80 as a storage space for the other. You can also attach this to your keys or a lanyard if you use it often and want to keep it close to hand. t

The product shown in the display image is incorrect, it's a picture of he CCR-70 that is an adaptor for M2 cards; the difference is in the colour of the shimmering circles on either side on the device: On the CCR-70's the are chrome, whereas the CCR-80's...

Excellent product
Before ordering I tried to establish whether this adaptor handled microSDHC cards up to 32GB. Nowhere on this site or on Sony Ericsson's site did it state this. Having received the product today, I fitted it with a 32GB MicroSDHC card and was pleased to find that it worked without problem on my Windows PC.

I like the capless design and the fact that, when fitted, the microSD card is protected. It all works fine and is good value for money.

Very good for the price, no, just very good..
I first bought another make, which were a few pence cheaper.Big mistake.... Then I bought these. They were stocking fillers for my daughters to use to keep photo's on (With the memory cards, of course). The cards click in firmly and easily and they seem to be well made. The price is amazing and the delivery was good. A good buying experience.

Asus O!Play HD 1080p HDP-R1 Live Internet Media Streamer

Great little box
I have been looking for a little box to play all my DVD & Bluray rips for a while as I was getting fed up of having so many discs in my lounge and I can keep the originals safely away from small children and sticky fingers! I have been slowly copying them onto a NAS drive connected to a wired ethernet network. When I first got the Asus O!Play, I updated the firmware to the latest 1.21P version by simply downloading the file to a USB pendrive and inserting it into the USB slot on the O!Play. The firmware updated easily. Set-up was minimal, I set my timezone to GMT and gave the box a static IP on my network and that's it. I can play straight DVD rips as Video-TS folders and Bluray rips as m2ts files. The picture quality is excellent and with a wired network I have had no problems with network speed. The resume playback feature is great if I get disturbed half way through a film and the menu system works quickly.

I have a MythTV box set-up as well and the O!Play finds its uPNP...

Asus O!Play HD 1080p HDP-R1 Live Internet Media Streamer

Almost perfect
I'd love to be able to give this 5 stars since it has some great features and the price is very good. However, a few things let it down. First the good stuff. This is a very smart little box that looks very good. It delivers true 1080p resolution and HD content does look very good. Connect up pretty much any USB device (or eSATA) and it will recognise it straight away. It can handle all sorts of disk formats and so one is not limited to FAT32. It will also recognise just about any format of video, photo or music. Very impressive. Even loads up DVD iso images and displays the DVD menu allowing you to use it just like a real DVD (which you can also do if you connect a DVD drive to the unit - so the instructions say, but I have not tried that). Content on devices attached directly to the O Play is handled very well. Hence, as a basic media player, it is very capable. However, there are cheaper units that will do pretty much the same thing. What sets the O play apart from them is that it...

BUY IT, CONNECT IT AND WATCH IT, SIMPLE AS THAT
I bought this box of tricks two weeks ago (November 2010) and it's got to be
one of the best bits of kit I've bought in years, but i can't understand
why other people are having problems with it, i took it out of the box
plugged the power lead in, plugged the HDMI lead in, plugged the network cable in
and connected an external hard drive then turned it on.

The setup menu came up so i set the screen size and all the other options
then searched the hard drive for Movies Photos And Music all played as normal.

Then i plugged a Sandisk cruzer 16GB stick in the USB slot containing a DivX movie
and a few other photos and music files and everything just worked.

DVD Menus worked as well, the only videos i found that wouldn't play had the wmv file extension,
which could be converted to another format if necessary

I mainly use Linux (Kubuntu 10.4 64 bit) it had no problems finding stuff in my shared folders

LaCie Minimus 2TB USB 3.0

Looks great with performance to match
I am really pleased with this drive. It is quiet in operation, feels really well built and look fantastic, very sleek and minimalist. I have no equipment capable of USB3 speeds yet but have no complaints about the performance on USB2. Works seemlessly with my iMac.

LaCie Minimus 2TB USB 3.0

Working well
Having done a lot of comparison shopping over the Christmas period looking for the best bang for my buck when it came to a fast, portable hard drive, I eventually settled on this one. I wanted a drive to store a growing number of media files; one that was portable and fast. I ordered this late in the afternoon on the 26th December. It arrived just two days later which was shockingly fast for the time of year.

I find the drive to be very quiet in operation and very easy to operate. I tested it in a USB2 port first of all and got a transfer speed of 34.5mb/s. For my needs, I reflected that this speed would have been quick enough; so I could have just as easily got by with a USB2 drive in hindsight.

Along with this hard drive, I bought the Transcend USB3 expansion card. Having installed that and connected the LaCie up to it, I am now getting transfer speeds of 95mb/s in USB3 mode.....so whilst I found I didn't necessarily need the extra speed... it certainly is...

Seagate FreeAgent Go 320GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive (Blue)

Perfect for Home Use
I purchased the Blue Seagate 320Gb from amazon recently and have nothing but praise for it. Firstly the feel and build is of high quality. No cheap plastics here that you often find in other external HDD. Secondly it is extremely very simple to use and operate, simply plug in the supplied USB2 cable from the HDD to your laptop/PC and Windows will detect & install the required driver. Then its simply a matter of clicking & dragging folders/files into the Seagate HDD for storage...you can be up and running in a matter of minutes. The Seagate external drive does come with its own software for quickly backing up the contents of your laptop/PC, but the choice is up to you to install. In summary, the Seagate is a lightweight external HDD that exudes quality and style without compromising on its core function and that is to backup & store data.

External Hard Drive
I needed to secure my familly photographs on my home PC. I was looking for a small, smart looking unit that did not need an external power supply. This is extremely easy to use (plug n play) and the capacity is excellent (no dramatic unit overhead regarding operating system) It is very very fast data transfer and i was amazed by the speed of data recall. Several thousand pictures only just dented the total capacity. This small unit is manufactured to a high spec and the illuminated graphic on the casing is neat. The unit looks and feels very well made. Minor consideration, It didn't come with a storage case.

QNAP TS-412 Digital Home Series (Diskless) 4 Bay All-in-One Desktop Turbo NAS Server Multimedia Station

QNAP TS412 - Excellent
After spending much time researching the various NAS drives available this was the one I settled on.
There are a large amount of configuration options within the NAS, perhaps more than enough for the average technical home user.

I have an atom PC (running windows home server) connected to the NAS drive via a Gb switch which is also connected to 3 x Popcorn hour A210 boxes, which allow the sharing of all my media and even applications through the TVs

This setup allows me to run a SQL server, MySQL server, IIS web server and a PHP web server.

There are plenty of backup options for most scenarios within the NAS. 2 x Gb ethernet ports to provide load balancing and redundancy in the correct environment.

I have 4 x 3Tb HDD in the NAS. They are not in QNAP's compatibility list, and they only cost

Not a good item
Please do not waste your money buying this particular product. It's extremely slow and takes forever uploading/downloading. I wish I hadn't bothered.

Dane Elec Capless 64GB USB Memory Drive

Looks tougher than it is
I was initially pleased with this purchase - I wanted a large capacity USB stick that would fit on my keyring, but without sharp edges that would dig a hole in my trouser pocket, and this seemed to fit the bill perfectly.

However, 2 months later, the top part has broken away from the rest, revealing that it was held in place with 2 tiny plastic clips - one of which has now broken.

WD Elements 500GB USB 3.0 High Capacity Portable Hard Drive for Windows

Overall as good as previous WD elements
The drive works well so far (less than a week's use).
However I note previous reviewer mentioned that the transfer rate was below par averaging on 40-45mb/s.

I found the same with mine, this is well below USB3 specs. By chance I decided to swap the USB3 cable from my old 1TB WD element drive and the speed shot up to 80 - 90Mb/s.

Furthermore when I used the old cable on an older WD element drive (the one I swapped the USB cable with) and plugged it into my new Samsung LED tv, it should just pick up the USB drive, but in this instance, Samsung although detected the drive but no playback was possible.

My conclusion - the cable is sub standard. Amazon should alert customers to this. I'm reluctant to send the drive back as it now has my data on board, I loath to get another cable on ebay which cost between
