Storage capacity these days is a never ending battle. With data limits increasing daily, one can never have enough reliable back-up storage. Just when you thought you had enough storage to last you a long time, you need a new drive. Enter the USB IDE converter which helps you to interface any storage device like an IDE hard drive, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and Iomega Zip drive to the USB port on your computer at the other end. So one end of the cable is inserted into the USB slot and the other end into the storage device you own. Not only is this extremely reliable, the performance and compatiability (backward compatiable with USB 1.1) of these converters are second to none.
Another issue PC users face when it comes to interfacing is a lack of Serial ports to connect those devices which only have this serial interface available. A USB serial adaptor can help in this regard. One end of the cable has a USB port while the other end has the serial one. Plug both in and you’re ready to roll. There are versions that have multiple serial ports on one device and also cables of longer length for those that need this feature.
Next we’ve got the USB video adaptor that is a real useful device. With this nifty piece of hardware, you don’t have to go through the hassle of installing an internal video adaptor in your desktop. And if your laptop doesn’t have this option you can still add an extra display device easily with this plug and play item. The USB video adaptor will be ideal for those who look for convenience and reliable performance and is a must have for power users.
