Handy Tech Under $100 Episode 8

[elfensky]

I kinda want the Stayblcam. Would be useful for some video project. It's (a bit) costly tho, at 80$. If it was something like 20-30 Or, well, maybe that's me being cheap.

USB Hard Drive Dock

I like that you featured a HDD Dock, especially the 2-drive version, but why not feature something a little more feature rich and "handy" for the same general price like the Sabrent EC-HDD2 SATA Docking Station?  Handles 2 HDDs in either 2.5"/3.5" and connects via USB 3.0, but also lets you disconnect the data cable and do a bit-for-bit clone of one drive to another(a pretty cool and useful damn feature IMO).  The Sabrent also has a higher rating by 1.1 stars and from almost 10x the amount of reviews.  Don't get me wrong, I love most of Thermaltake's products, but sometimes I think they just fall short on things they branch out to and limit themselves on what their product could/should have been capable of.

i'm surprised Linus didn't make any dildo jokes on the 3rd item. The techkey thing is a cute item, I don't know if I would consider it as a handy item.

I still want to hear 3 reasons why socks and sandals are the optimal footwear.

So linus what about the USB 3.0 Dual Hard Drive Docking Station with UASP for 2.5/3.5in SSD / HDD – SATA 6 Gbps from startech  I has dual bays as well as individual power buttons for each bay. It also is under $100.00 US

Has anyone actualy bought the 3 key keyboards? Guessing by the fact that at the moment they are mostly sold out I'm guessing at least someone from here did.
I have a question for anyone that has bought it.
How are they to use? do they slip around on the table or are they uncomforably raised or anything like that?
Looking at the prices it really makes me want to buy one instead of waiting for an official OSU version, and god knows peppy is gonna overprice them as hell so theres that as well.

I would totally use Tech Keys for a Titanfall eject switch

[T.Q.]

The product are okay but the intro was awesome.

The onekeyboard and threekeyboard are usually useful for gamers (especially CS:GO players) for creating game macros with ease. It is also useful for productivity related macros where macros can cut down on times needed to complete a task substantially. As for the other questions you pose I have no answer to as I do not own one but plan on getting one. I suppose since it's got rubber feet (looks like rubber from the video) it won't slide around much and that even if it was raised too high they are designed to be used not as frequently as any other key/keys so I suppose it would not matter too much (for me anyways). Hope I helped and have a nice day.

A little late to the conversation, but I've had a 2 bay dock that powers each bay individually for a few years.. USB2.0 and eSATA, but there is an updated USB3.0 version as well.

do you like seagate at all?

[r3bify]

do you like seagate at all?

The only two seagate drives I have are in the picture. The USB one I got from school, and the 3TB 3.5in one in the dock I got because I wanted a 3TB drive and it was on sale. 

I have a few WD drives, toshiba, hitachi, adata.. I actually prefer my WD drives but I'm not too picky. 

 

The 3TB drive I've got has been a champ, however I feel like the USB one might not last all that long.. it was 30% fragmented the last time I checked, had some read/write issues. It's the only drive I own that has problems.
