Hi all, since ya’ll are self hosters, I’m sure you all deal with all sorts of different pieces of hardware, accessories, peripherals, and what not; just wondering if you could please share your favorite, solid, “go to” brands for overall things you need for your setup such as cables (all types), adapters, dongles, power accessories, hubs & docks, flash drives, you name it! I’m sure it varies depending on exactly what type of equipment you’re looking for but just looking for overall good brands to stick with for such things. I obviously know the main ones like Anker, Cable Matters, Ugreen, maybe Belkin, Idk. Would love to hear your recommendations! Thank you
Lol really??? why is that? surely those are of way less quality than others available, right?
I was joking but I actually do have a battery pack like that and it’s pretty good.
Lol hey, I’m sure some heavily powered devices need them! I wasn’t sure if you were just talking about the more power intensive aspects of your setup or if you were joking
It’s flash drives and cables, dude. The ones at the counter will get the job done just fine.
I mean USB cables differ greatly though, based upon what your requirements are
I have yet to see a USB cable near the cash register that won’t do a data transfer or charge a device. It may not necessarily fast charge a phone, but if you have such a phone, chances are you already have a cable/adapter at home that works with it.
fair enough
Those microcenter flash drives are dog shit slow on write
