Advantages: Works well out of box; captures video as MPEG-2 flawlessly Disadvantages: Stopped working after a Microsoft update - Adaptec will not offer free fix.
...Product served me well for transferring several piles of VHS tapes to my Media Center 2005 machine. Then - Microsoft came out with some software update and product only works for a limited time. Pause it while recording and the PC freezes. restart the PC and it no longer detects the device. Remove device - uninstall drivers and uninstalling WinDVR 3 all temporary fixes - problem reoccurs. Doing the C++ registry hack worked very limited, now does not. Adaptec - with this known problem - can not even be contacted outside of their "pay" support. Adaptec has not updated their searchable database with the "fix" - they apparently demand their customers to pay them before they assist. A sad state of affairs within a once-great company. Shame on you, Adaptec!...

Advantages: Plug n play, reliable, efficient Disadvantages: A bit pricy
...Finally, just when I was begining to give up on ever attaching my SCSI drive to my system, along came the answer to my prayers. A neat fitted in seconds, no need to open the case solution; the Adaptec USB to SCSI connector.
This piece of electronic genius allows you to connect virtually any SCSI device directly to your PC through its USB port. It works and is brilliant. It just plugs in and away it goes. Everything is supplied and with easy to follow directions.
It is not cheap though, expect to pay about $50 ($90) for it but compared with a SCSI card & cables it probably works out the same and is definately 100% less hastle than trying to configure an already stuffed full to the brim machine.
It's got my vote....

Advantages: fast, allows shared broadband, different lengths, cheap Disadvantages: none
...I needed to set up a quick and easy LAN network at home so that both my home computer and my laptop could use my broadband internet connection.
You see this cable is a CAT 5E which means that it allows broadband to be shared where as normal CAT 5 cable does not surport broadband only regular internet.
This cable also is a RJ45 (male) cable well actaully its male to male which means that it will fit into most LAN cards and routers. Some LAN cards only use female ends though i havent found one of these yet.
The cable also has a 300 MHZ (some have got 500 MHZ)bandwith which allows quick file sharing among the computers, i havent even noticed any lag one the internet either.
The cable does come in a range of sizes from little 3 ft one to the massive 24 ft one i use at mt home, the cable is rather thick and hard to hide espically since...
