Switch Pro Controller 3Rd Party Pc Connect

Decked the OWC 8M2 out with 8 Samsung 980 Pro SSDs for best case testing. Never got close to the expected throughput. Only 10K sequential on Crystal Benchmark. Card worked with Gigabyte AMD X570 motherboard but would not boot with MSI Intel 670X. Clearly OWC has compatibility issues. During the first overnight burn-in test, the card completely failed. No longer warm to the touch so must be power issue. Since B&H dropped ship from a 3rd party, I'm forced to wait until the 3rd party issues their own RMA. It's now been over a week and no sign of the RMA despite emails, chat, and phone calls. I'm running back to Amazon.

Had a problem with a 3rd party cable causing kernal panics with my Mac Pro and an Apple Studio Display, this solved the issue

Lasts much longer than the 3rd party batteries.

Never used 3rd party inks so I do not have a comparison.

I much prefer Sony batteries to 3rd party ones.

Best ink from manufacturer, not 3rd party.

This is my 3rd AD-200 and my first in the Pro series. I like the new recessed back panel and the power switch being by itself on the side. Great light from a small (but dense) package!

Netgear Gigabit 8 port switch is very useful. I have two of them at home, I use one of them inside my media console to connect my Apple TV, PS3, Receiver, VOIP phone, media center PC etc to the network. I use the other switch inside the central panel where I use it connect the Ethernet outlets across all other rooms including our office room. I have been using one of these switches for more than 1 year. For my home use, I am pretty happy with it. When I conducted some speed test, I was able to get upto 50MB/s data transfer rate, between my iMac and and HP PC.

This switch takes two input 3.5mm (1/8) stereo jacks and converts them to one output. One of my inputs (A) is from the soundcard in my PC; the other input (B) is from the headphones port on my combination HDTV/Monitor. I could connect my headphones to this A/B switch's output, but I connect a headphones amplifier to it (saves strain on my PC's power supply unit). When I want to use my headphones for miscellaneous purposes with my PC, I have the A/B switch set to A. When I want to use my headphones to watch movies with my Blu-ray player and my HDTV/Monitor, I have the A/B switch set to B. All three cables, two inputs and one output, are male-to-male stereo cables which are easy to find at a number of stores. Converting the two inputs to one output, however, was not easy. Many places have Y-splitters, but they don't work for this purpose. All they do is allow you to use sets two headphones from the same source. I could use my receiver instead of the switch, but that's much too bulky for my desktop. This A/B switch from B&H is very small--about 2 x 2 x 1/2--and takes up almost no space. And its a no-brainer to connect and use. Of course I could simply disconnect and connect my headphones back and forth between my PC and my HDTV/Monitor, but that wears down connectors and connections. Also it is much more convenient to just flip the toggle on the switch.

Not being an audiofile, I can't say for sure, and I can't say I even understand how the amp can make the sound better, but it does seem to be better than when we used our old, 3rd party amp.
