If you’ve every wanted to connect a SATA disk on the quick, then look no further for that fix than the SATA HDD Kit Mini from Novac of Japan. While it’ll get you connected via accompanying cables to either SATA or eSATA disks just fine, don’t expect this pup to be pumping data across the USB 2.0 bus anywhere near eSATA’s 2.4Gbps transfer rate after that stick deals with the USB 2.0 step-down and protocol translation. If you really need that kind of speed but lack a native eSATA connector on your motherboard, then you’d better be looking the way of Ratoc’s ExpressCard. Still, for just Â¥3,980 or right around $34, this’ll probably get you by in a pinch.

File this under: “Useful USB Accessories†In addition to being a “cute†furry creature, this accessory is also a fully-functional 1.3-megapixel webcam. Best of all, the Puppy Dog Webcam is priced at just $29.
The aptly-named Puppy Dog Webcam ditches the typical monitor mounted approach and provides a more playful alternative to broadcasting yourself. Nevertheless, we assume the canine can pull double duty as a child’s toy, and while the dangling USB cable may become a minor hazard, it’s unlikely to be as dangerous as the exploding Helly Kitty
