This is a list of all the hardware I've purchased and my success (or lack thereof) with it. Note that all hardware eventually fails, so the products here aren't necessarily bad.
Company | Item | Part Number | Purchase Date | Fail Date | Longevity | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cowon | iAudio 20 GB | M5-20SL | 2006-01 | 2012-12 | 6 years, 11 months | Had to RMA this after a couple months when the D-pad failed. USB port finally started separating from board. Got a lot of use out of this device. |
Hitachi | 1TB Hard Drive | 9F13180 | 2012-11 | 2013-06 | 7 months | SATA 15-pin connector partially broke off. |
Samsung | Spinpoint 1TB Hard Drive | HD103UJ | 2008-10 | 2012-12 | 2 years, 2 months | Drive started clicking, stopped responding. Read head failure. Lost a couple years of work with this one. |
SanDisk | Sansa Clip+ 8GB | SDMX18R-008GK-A57 | 2011-03 | 2012-02 | 11 months | Headphone jack separated from board. Flash drive still works. Wonderful workout DAP. |
SanDisk | Sansa Clip Zip 4GB | SDMX22-004G-A57O | 2012-02 | 2013-05 | 1 year, 3 months | D-pad started to fail on the down arrow. Usable, but you have to press hard. Flash drive still works. Also a wonderful workout DAP. |
Toshiba | Gigabeat 40 GB | MEG-F40S | 2007-07 | 2012-08 | 5 years, 1 month | Battery died and can't boot from USB power. Casing broke early on. Battery bloated and messed up D-pad, had to bend the casing to fix it. Poor design. |
Xtreme Gear | 700W ATX Power Supply | XG-P700 | 2012-05 | 2013-05 | 1 year | Good amount of cable hook-ups, but blew a capacitor. No storms at the time. |
