USB Power-ed up Adapter

Advantages: Compact and Portability
Disadvantages: Price

...This USB Power Adapter is a must accessory to have if you have any kinds of iPods. As you would know, when you buy an iPod, you will only receive the iPod itself and the link cable. This means the only way you can charge the iPod is through the computer. However, this is disadvantage for many reasons since you would need to make sure the computer is on when charging. Because its USB charged, it takes quite a long time to charge it to full. This USB Power Adapter deals with all of the charging problems and many others. The size of the power adapter is very compact, with its dimension of 4cm by 4cm (estimate and could be different when bought from different country). It is also not so heavy for portable use. Also, you can change the adapter itself to European, Asian or wherever with great convenience. All you have to do is slide it...

Belkin Power Cable

Advantages: Works perfectly, Fits Snug, Lengthy enough
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this for plugging in my computer because the power supply I had to buy did not include one. There isn't much to say on a power cable so this is about all I could think of. My main reasons for choosing this where because I knew Belkin is a very respectable brand for when it comes to electronic connector cables and its length suited my needs perfectly. I found that the cable fits very snugly into the back of my computer so that when it gets knocked about for some reason (kicking from mad frustration during games :) ) then it does not fall out. It is easily strong enough to hold its own weight in so it doesn't pull itself out- which is a problem one of my crappy computer monitors was having. This caused me to buy a second one for my computer monitor as I was overall 100% pleased with this one. It has never failed me causing in...

Power Cable? Simple? Not With Dell!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Breaks Easy

...So you've looked at the strange title and then seen that I'm reviewing a power cable! Now your wondering how I'm going to manage at least 120 words on a power cable. Well it's going to be easy seen as it's a......Dell.... power cable. As fans of my reviews will know( do I have fans) I recently purchased a monitor from Dell. Well along with my monitor I got a basic package to run Office on because I do a lot of downloading and hate to slow the download down. With my computer came a Dell power cable. Ok you can't really call it a Dell power cable but they do supply it so I'l blame them... After unpacking my computer and plugging everything in I turned on the switch and..... well nothing. I checked all the wires and everything was plugged in so yet again I turned on the switch and.... well nothing again. After inspecting...

Review of Griffin PowerMate: USB Multimedia Controller & Input Device

the cable that will last a lifetime

Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

...Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m...

Disadvantages: will need a zip drive, not all computers will have them

...INTRODUCTION For those of you who don't know what a Iomega Zip 250 USB Powered is, it is a portable storage device which accepts disks roughly double the thickness of a standard floppy disk. They store about 70 times the amount of data than a standard 1.44MB floppy disk does. The device is a small, lightweight and attractive looking device that can be easily placed near your computer without taking up much desk space. The good thing about the device is that it is powered from your computer's USB port and requires no additional mains plug or batteries. DISKS TO BE USED WITH THIS DEVICE There are various disks that can be used in the device. Only ZIP compatable ones though that can vary in size from 25MB, 100MB to 250MB. You will find that 100MB and 250MB are used now. The typical price of a 250MB disk is around £10, although as...

Powerful U3 USB stick

Advantages: Fast, Powerful software
Disadvantages: N/A

...comes with the USB stick may be fine for most users but power users may want to check out a few projects to enhance the ability of their U3 drives. http://portableapps.com/ - This website contains many programs with installs created specially for use on a USB stick. It also includes a very nice menu that appears when you insert your drive, similar to the start menu. For people with the wish to customise thier U3 device even further you can install the universal customiser to replace the image held on the virtual cd drive of the U3 device with a custom one. (warning: this can be used for malicious reasons, see USB Switchblade project) The U3 device can also be disabled to act as a virutal cd drive and extra software so that it can be just used as a normal USB stick. File transfers are very fast and this device can be used for vista...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro U3 - USB flash drive - 4 GB

Cool machine, shame about the power cable

Advantages: Portable, quick, easy to use, 250MB storage
Disadvantages: Annoying power cable!

...storage. No need to sit there burning all night long. Cost: £130 for the machine. £10 for each 250MB disk. My advice is to spend a few more quid and get the USB version, which is a lot easier to use. And has no damn power cable! Happy Zipping!...

Review of Iomega Zip 250 MB USB Powered

Great Belkin USB product

Advantages: gives you an extra 1.8 meters on any USB product
Disadvantages: none

...that could connect my headset to the computer and let me use it, and this is what I did. I trudged down to my local PC world and paid a little money for a 1.8 meter Belkin Pro Series USB Extension Cable and was very very happy with it when I got home. It is very well made with a nice thick rubber protective rapping over the wire inside so unless you cut it with a knife its not going to be damaged if you full on it a little or even a allot. It supports all standard USB ports with its well made male plug (the bit that goes into the computer) and on the other end of the cable has a nice thick female port (the bit that you will stick your USB device in) I have had no problems with this cable at all, it doesn't suffer from any lag and because it has a thick cable it doesn't snap or damage if you catch it with you feet while its laying...
