Arlo Essential Indoor Camera Review

Arlo launched their Arlo Essential Indoor Camera last month and it is currently retailing for S$199. Essentially (pun intended), this camera is the indoor version of the Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera that I reviewed last October.

The major difference is Essential Indoor is wired, and Essential Spotlight is wireless. Essential Indoor doesn’t have a spotlight, and its night vision is black and white only.

Ugreen 65W Triple USB-C Plus USB-A Charger

Ugreen has two variants to this 65W GaN Triple USB-C Plus USB-A Charger on Lazada.

As the product name sounds, it comes with three USB-C ports that support USB Power Delivery (PD) 3 and one USB-A port that supports Quick Charge (QC) 4.

Baseus 65W GaN Dual USB-C Plus USB-A Charger

As the product name sounds, Baseus 65W GaN Dual USB-C Plus USB-A Charger, is a 65W charger that has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port.

There are too many buzz words in the Lazada product title like GaN2 and PD4, which I think are not valid. I have not heard anything on GaN2 or PD4 yet.

Synology SNV3000 Series NVMe M.2 SSD

Synology started out having its own brand of RAM for as long as I can remember. I covered them back in 2017. After that they went on to have its own brand of M.2 NVMe SSD (SNV3000), SATA SSD (SAT5200), and SATA HDD (HAT5300).

One of the reasons Synology introduces their own lineup of SSD and HDD is for compatibility. The SSD and HDD are optimized for use with their own Synology NAS with customized firmware. Also, when things go wrong, the users don’t need to contact different vendors. They can bring it all back to Synology.

Synology DDR4 RAM (ECC)

I posted about Synology DDR4 RAM last June, and at that time, there were only five types of Synology DDR4 RAM available, out of which only there is only one ECC SO-DIMM which is the D4ECSO-2666-16G.

With the launch of the Synology 21 series, Synology added two more ECC SO-DIMM to their range of Synology DDR4 RAM. There are the D4ES01-4G and D4ES01-8G.

Synology DiskStation DS1621+ Review

I decided to upgrade my slightly more than three years old 4-bay Synology DiskStation DS918+ to the 6-bay Synology DiskStation DS1621+.

Back in 2017, DS918+ was the flagship Synology 4-bay NAS and that was replaced with DS920+ in 2020. Also in 2020, the 5-bay DS1520+ got updated.

Ugreen USB 3.0 Extension Cable

If you need any type of cable for your gadgets, Ugreen will probably have them.

I was looking for a USB Extension Cable to extend out from the USB charging port of my Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Smart Switch 6 (Gen5). This will allow Li Xiang to use the Xiaomi USB Fan to circulate the wind around her plants.
