Tripp Lite - computer, sata power adapter

This is just what you need to hook up that SATA drive to your motherboard(that square looking thing in the tower you bought).

To do so make sure you full shutdown the computer and unplug it. Then plug this SATA power cable into the only slots it will go to(trust me nothing else in your computer is going to hook into this thing then what is supposed to). Then plug in the SATA data(signal) cable into the only slots it will go to(same thing here , it won't hook up anywhere or way then what it is supposed to). After you have done this , close the case and power up your computer. Enjoy your new drive that you so obviously needed this for.

Data cables and Power cables break so rarely that it is unheard of. This one here is a testimonial to the quality you should expect from said cables.

Things to look for in your tower if you plan to hook up a SATA drive:

#1 There should be a 1" long by 1" high prong on your motherboard that looks so slightly like an L shape that you well barely notice it has such a shape. This is the SATA data cables connection point to your motherboard.

#2 There should also be a (OOOO) shaped connector on the end of a cable attached to your power source(the big block of metal at the back of the computer that the power cord attaches too).

If you can find these 2 things(or someone you know that is good at such things can) then you can connect an SATA drive to your computer. Tripp Lite P944-06I Serial ATA (SATA) Power Cable - 6in

It seems like such an effort to get this feather-light item shipped to me to finish the job of installing my SATA 1TB drive, since getting it at a local store would have been much quicker and involve less "energy", it would seem. However, I honestly don't know of any store (mom and pop OR big box like Best Buy) that would supply such a cable.

I was a little leery from the description wondering whether it would be exactly what I needed. I needed a power adapter to transfer from an LP4 female connector to the back of a new SATA hard drive. This was exactly what I needed - I was happy when I opened the package and saw the male LP4 plug, just like the picture showed. Yes, it *is* 6'' long so be sure you don't need more length than that before you commit to buy.

I would recommend it, but then again if it "fits" your need, then it would seem there's really nothing much that could go wrong.

Some power connectors have a poorly constructed Molex connetor end (the white end) so it does not make reliable contact on all leads. The ones I purchased were all well constructed and made positive contact when plugged in. It's well made, but I would expect that from tripp-lite. Does all it's supposed to and reliably.

Want to add a Sata device to your PC? Or, perhaps your power supply died and you have a spare one sitting around or want to buy the least cost supply that you can? Then you may need this adapter to get power to your SATA device. I've used these to convert IDE drive systems to SATA drive systems and it's a great way to reuse your current system or get a low cost solution for SATA devices. A lot of the lower cost power supplies may have 1 or 2 dedicated SATA plugs. If you need more, use this adapter.

I purchased a DVD burner to replace a conked-out CD player, my computer is about five years old and the only SATA power cable was going to the hard drive. None of the local stores had a converter, so I turned to Amazon to save the day.

How could anything go wrong with something so simple? For me it did!

One of the four wires connecting to the white plastic connector was disconnected on arrival. I pushed it back in and it managed to work. However, it finally gave out after several months, and I had to order another one.

For something so cheap I did not bother go through the troubles of returning it. - Cables - Power Cables - Computer - Sata Power Adapter'

Everybody who uses a portable grill on a regular basis needs this product not only are you not changing bottles frequently but a 20lb tank lasts for many cooking times, but most important after the purchase of the 20lb tank it's a money saver since it cost about half the price to fill the tank rather then buying 20- 1lb. bottles and who does,nt want to save money. Century 8-Foot Hose with Type 1 Coupling

The model of our Coleman Road Trip propane grill allow it to be connected via a coupling hose directly to the quick-release fitting on our motor home LP tank. The information provided in the online advertisement enabled me to order this with comfort that it was exactly what was needed. It works perfectly, and is made quite well. Good value for the money.

Why did it take so long for this type of thing to come on the market? It's so nice (and environmentally friendly) not to have to worry about all of those little cans of propane. We just came back from a week-long camping trip and it was the most useful piece of new equipment we bought.

I looked and looked for propane hose adaptor for my coleman grill. Everywhere I looked thr price was outrageous. So I decided to try [...]. I found exacty what I was looking for, it works perfectly and the price was very reanoable. Thank you very much!!!!

We used this hose on our Roadmate grill about 12 times over the past year. It worked just fine but then it just quit passing gas. Took it to a local gas shop and they say it is not fixable, must replace the end fittings due to corroded safety device or buy a new one. using it 12 times is not a good value..

Note of caution for other owners. Make sure to always bring along a portable tank so you will be able to continue cooking when the hose fails..

we purchased this hose for our ogrill. It worked great for 3 times. On the fourth try it would n;t work at all. We switched propane tanks to be sure it wasn't that. We then hooked up a portable tank directly to the Ogrill and it worked perfectly.

I got tired of using those small propane bottles for my Weber Go-Anywhere gas grill. They were expensive and didn't last as long. I had spare 20lb propane tanks that were just lying around so I bought this adapter. The fit and quality is really good and it just cost a dollar or two more than the Charbroil version. I'm a sucker for things made in the USA so this was an obvious choice. The one from Charbroil was cheap feeling, particularly the plastic knob. - Coleman - Portable Grill - Stove Accessories - Accessories'

Air Compressor - lightweight, inflator

Visit Store Now !!

I have owned this tool for almost a year now, and have used it regularly to maintain tires at proper pressure. Easy to use, reliable, light is useful when needed.

A tad noisy if I want to find a fault with it. Campbell Hausfeld RP3200 12-Volt Inflator and Worklight

This unit is very compact, and is also very powerful for its size. The

electrical plug-in is plenty long, and the air hose is also sufficient.

I would recommend this unit to be carried in your vehicle, car or truck,

or be left in your garage or workshop for use. I'm glad I purchased

this unit

The RP3200 inflates the tire, the automatic feature operates as advertised and the device is easy to operate.

At the same time, these observations should be noted:

The vibration that occurs when it is operating is such that the device must be held down or it will jump around.

The inflation valve goes on easily, but some force is required to remove it. In the process, some air escapes from the tire.

The inflation hose and the power cable must be folded carefully in order to store them in the compartment provided on the back of the RP3200.

I would recommend this product.

It is nearly impossible these days to find an air hose at a gas station. Especially a WORKING air hose! This cheap little gadget solves that problem. I've had it for a little over 2 years, and find it indispensable. It's super-simple to use, and I love how it shuts off when your desired air-pressure has been reached, so you don't have to disconnect the air hose, check pressure, reconnect the hose, and try again...and again.

As others have mentioned:

It is noisy [but have you ever heard a quiet air compressor??];

It jitters around a bit on the ground while it's working [but I don't see that as a problem -- after all, it can only go so far while the air hose is attached to your tire's valve stem];

The coupling seal is so secure that it's impossible to remove it from the valve without losing a little bit of air (so, you simply adjust for that by putting in an extra 2-5 PSI to begin with); and

You can only plug it into your car's 12V power outlets -- you can't plug it into an home AC outlet.

And yes, you do need a little bit of patience (about 60-90 seconds' worth) to coil the air hose and the power cord back into the little cubby area. Hint: Start with the air hose first, then coil the power cord, "nest-like," concentrically within the air hose coil.

It's not fancy, and it's clearly not built for heavy-duty, frequent use. But when you need it, it does the trick. Just last night, upon starting my car to drive home after a grueling work day, the warning came on the dash that 2 of my tires were low in pressure. It had started to snow, the wind was whipping, and it was bone-chillingly cold. The last thing I wanted to do was drive around in search of a working air hose. Thanks to this little gem, all I had to do was pull into the comfort of my own garage and hook it up (after letting my tires cool so the pressure readings would be accurate). Fifteen minutes later, all my tires were inflated to the correct pressure, and I was snug & warm inside my home.

This $26 gadget is a little life-saver (and sanity-saver); it's a gotta-have-it tool for your trunk or garage!

My car is parked at a location without AC power so I keep this small 12V pump in the trunk. It has a compartment that stores the power cord and air hose. The power cord is long enough to reach both tires on each side of the car. The pump is reasonably quick to inflate considering it is 12V. There is a built-in pressure gauge and flash light. I highly recommend it!

I bought this item to replace an old Interdynamics compressor that finally stopped working. The Campbell compressor inflates tires pretty quickly and is easy to use. However, a couple of warnings:

1. You will have to fiddle around to get the inflation cut-off point right. I had to set it to about 40 p.s.i. to get 32 p.s.i. to remain in the tires. The air chuck makes a very tight connection to the valve stem and you lose at least 5 p.s.i. while removing it.

2. The little compartment for the air hose and power cord is useless: You'll never get both back in there without a lot of work. I use it only for the air hose and just wrap the power cord around the unit.

3. The unit is noisy and vibrates quite a bit. It was dancing around my concrete garage floor so much that I just hold it in my hand while it's working.

My previous inflator, another brand, which I had for 10 years finally bit the bullet. I ordered this and love the way it shuts itself off when the proper tire pressure is reached. At first I thought it was broken but I had the dial set improperly, it works great. I would never travel without one of these. Makes it easy to keep your tire pressure set without hunting down a service station that has a working tire inflator.

This equipment met my expectations. It is worth the money you pay for it. The automatic shut off feature is simple to use and works fine. It inflates fairly quickly too. Faster than few inflators which I have used before. I recently used it to fully inflate a totally flat tire. It took only about 4 minutes. I recently bought another unit for my wife from amazon.

After 10 years, my basic Campbell Hausfeld Inflator gave up the ghost.

That unit fixed many bike tires, filled up numberous slow leaks in our Vehicle tires letting us get to a tire repair station and not have to put on the spare tire. The new unit RP3200 is the same basic model in that it plugs into the cigarette lighter. After all, how many times is BOTH your car battery and tire in need of service at the same.

This battery charger is extremely efficient except for one thing.........if the battery to be charged is on its last legs, attempting to use a new charger on that battery will burn out the charger! No cautionary information accompanies the new charger! 18V BATTERY CHARGER (World Factory 60109004)

I got this charger for an 18V cordless drill that was given to me missing a charger. Since the drill itself was free, I didn't want to spend a bundle on a charger, and this unit fit the bill (pardon the pun).

I had to enlarge the photo to make sure it would fit the shape of my battery pack. It did. But at first the charger would not work. That is, the red light didn't come on and no charging was happening. This was probably due to this being a replacement charger, not the original. The negative connection on the charger was going to unused connection on the battery pack. This was an easy fix for a tech. I opened my battery pack and soldered a wire from its existing negative terminal, to where the charger's neg term was, and voila, charge on.

The charger and the battery battery both get warm / hot while charging. I recommend placing them both in the airstream of a desk fan... seems to keep things cool and happy.

It was a good fit. Right on the price. Unit works for me.

I received this -- opened-- so when I plugged it in-- I thought it would charge my battery. I returned after 8 hours only to find a dead battery. When I contacted Deerso (World Factory)--- the company for a return and replacement for another one that was NOT opened -- they said that I had to contact AMAZON for a replacement. I have been with Amazon for a while and this is the first I have encountered this

type of transaction. I would have so MUCH trepidation and hesitation to recommend this product and company before purchasing from it.

Another example of imported trash. This charger lasted less than a day. It overheated to the point you could hardly touch it and that was the only thing it did. Certainly didn't charge the battery. In My opinion, it's a fire hazard.

The charger for this tool set is the weak link. Ordered a (new in package) replacement after the original charger stopped working after very little use. Received the charger and monitored the charge as not to over charge. The 1st replacement charger worked for 3 and 1/2 hours before quitting. Contacted the shipper and they sent a new one right out. This time I placed a fan blowing toward the charger in case this was a over heating issue. The second replacement lasted 2 and 1/2 hours. Now I have a bag full of good tools that are worthless because the chargers will not work and cannot recharge the batteries. Very disappointing product!!!'

Gemstone Earrings - gemstone necklace, gemstone earrings

Visit Store Now !!

These are small, delicate, flattering, lightweight, comfortable earrings for those times and places when you want a bit of sparkle, a bit of movement, but not too much. As others have said, the colors are pretty weak. This would be a spectacular set at twice the size, with more strongly colored stones. But at this price, they're well enough made, nicely designed and a fine choice for many reasons. Just don't expect conversation to stop when you enter the room. Closer up, friends will notice -- and probably comment favorably. Yellow Gold Plated Sterling Silver Multi-Gemstone Earrings

I bought these as a possible gift to give this coming Christmas, but when I received them, I fell in love with them! They will be a gift to myself! The stones are small but are completely visible and in my opinion they are the perfect size to draw the eye without being uncomfortably heavy. The length is also a comfortable fit. They are short enough to not hang in your clothes but long enough to catch the eye. There is more than enough sparkle factor. I am an older woman but these earrings could be worn by teens or adults easily.

These earrings are gorgeous. They are fairly small but well made and look much nicer in person. The purple amethyst in the picture looks almost like a fake stone. However in reality it's a paler more true to color amethyst. These earrings have two points of attachment so they dangle a little.

Very pretty at a great price point.

These are perfectly seviceable -- not dramatic because they are small, but pretty, with some nice sparkle, even if the colors are not as strong as the picture represents. Compared to the "matching" necklace these are stellar!

I can't believe I paid less than $20.00 (with the discount) for this beautiful earrings. I can't even tell its gold plated - totally looks expensive!

I also ordered the multi-gemstone necklace to match it! - Gemstone Earrings - Multi-gemstone - Gemstone Necklace'

Boxing Bag Gloves - boxing bag gloves, everlast

Visit Store Now !!

I use these wraps for boxing lessons. They're comfortable and protect my hands. It took me a little practice to wrap them correctly, but you can google for instructions. These feel just as good as the Everlast wraps they use at my gym, and yet they're much cheaper. 180" Elastic Cotton MMA Handwraps (Pair) - Black

These are far superior to Everlast wraps in every way. Easier to wrap, better thumb loop, better material, better elasticity, better shape retnetion wash after wash, thinner and more breathable, better hand protection since I can wrap tighter. That they are 1/2 the price of Everlast is a bonus. Longer, thinner and stretchier is a good thing. I hit the bag as hard as I possibly could today with these for 30 minutes and felt nothing in my hands. I have not experimented too many brands of wraps but with these I'm not tempted too. I'd be surprised if you didn't love them.

I ordered the blue and neon green and they came in three days. Perfect hand wraps for beginners as well as more advanced fighters. Great price. I was expecting cheap-o's but got a truly excellent product. They go the distance.

These wraps are great. At first I ordered two pairs to test them out. After I got them used them, washed and dried them, I got 8 more pairs! These wraps are great. The only difference between these wraps and Everlast wraps, these ones are a little bit thinner cloth material. Nonetheless, great wraps!!!! Great Price! They also shipped them same day, both times!

I bought 4 pairs for my wife to use. Comfort is as good as my more expensive Fairtex wraps, and better than Everlast wraps. Very high quality as well. No need to shop around, these are as good as anyone can ask for, at a great price.

These wraps are nice and durable, they worked perfectly for their purpose.

Just FYI, if you purchase any color different from white wash them with similar colors (if you'll be using a wash machine) because they loose a lot of the pigment. Not a problem at all if you handwash them ;)

I was skeptical when I purchased this product, as I have only bought Everlast wraps in the past. Much to my surprise these are actually very high quality. I would even say they are slightly better than the more expensive Everlast wraps. The only reason for that being these do not wrinkle up as quickly as the Everlast ones. That is a very minor advantage but actually makes a huge difference.

I received these handwraps very quickly and almost a month before the expected date. The product is very good and it's a joy to work out with them. If you are looking for some sort of handwraps, go with these, they are awesome! - Hand Wraps - Boxing Bag Gloves - Boxing Gloves - Everlast'
