Belkin Cat-5e Snagless Patch Cable (Blue, 25 Feet) Review

Yup... They connect my cable modem to my router, and my router to my computers. They transmit data back and forth. So far they have failed to burst into flames or snap off and poke me in the eye. So go patch cables (yay).

Dual Layer Blu-ray Rewritable Disc Review

Dual Layer Blu-ray Rewritable Disc
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used four of these as a 2nd level backup for my mp3 files (over 120GB worth). The disk is reliable, easily formatted for use as if it were a "floppy." In conjunction with "Easy2Sync" software, it is easy to keep the backup current. The recording speed is, as expected, slow; this is not particularly a problem, as updating the file list doesn't take much time. (Creating the originals takes hours, but works securely in the background.) My BD burner is Sony, with which I have had no problems. I suppose one could copy BD movies onto this disk, but I haven't had reason to do so, and I'm not sure if it will play BD movies on my Panasonic BD player.
In contrast with backup tapes, using the BD-RE is slower to create, but has very quick restore capacity, being random access rather than sequential.
As for loss over time - There's no long-term experience with these, but, in comparison with tape, which is subject to eventual magnetic decay due to external magnetic fields, there is no theoretical reason to believe that these will be any less long-lived than DVD-RWs.
I have not used these long enough to exhaust the rewriting capacity, and don't know what that might be.

HP dvd1040i 20X Multiformat DVD Writer - Disk drive - DVD?RW (?R DL) / DVD-RAM - 20x/20x/12x - IDE - internal - 5.25" - black - LightScribe Review

Own 5 1040i in 3 computers and they all work well. Black finish blends in well with popular black cases. Previous writer was a 640i so these are a definite upgrade in read/write speed. Would not recommend using Nero software that comes with the drive; use Sonic instead. The only con is that the drives are not SATA. 80-pin PATA ribbon cables are a major source of motherboard clutter especially when multiple DVD and hard drives are used.
