Introduction

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." ~ Albert Einstein. A famous quote from Einstein that has been interpreted in many ways. For me, this quote rings true to life. Why over complicate things? It does nothing but create harder problems and harder to reach answers. Einstein was able to boil down many of the vast secrets of life into a single one inch equation; E=MC². It really doesn't get any simpler then that.

When it comes to purchasing computer components I am a simple kind of man. I look for the basic functionality in order to achieve the goals that I have set out. I rarely go out of my way to purchase the extravagant or "luxury" items. Do I really need 24 power phase shifting motherboards? Should I spend the extra $50 on something with a water cooler attached to it when I can get the base model that performs nearly the same? My previous computer builds had $20 computer cases that I found at a local computer shop. I'll even go so far as to buy some off brand components if I know they tested well and come with a decent warranty. There are certain components that you don't really need to go that extra mile on.

The Vantec NexStar Superspeed SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter follows the simple mantra.
