If you like your gadgets to be functional but without all that fussy “styling” or aesthetic design, the Brando SATA HDD Multi-Media Player Adapter may be for you. This no-frills adapter is literally a black box device that lets you play media files from a SATA hard disk, SDHC card, or USB storage device on your TV.
You can connect the SATA HDD Multi-Media Player Adapter to your computer (it works with both PCs and Macs) using USB 2.0, and then connect any 2.5 or 3.5-inch (6.4 or 8.9cm) SATA hard disk for data transfer, backup, and cloning. But the real value-added feature is that the device works as a standalone media player – no computer required.
The device connects to your TV with component, composite and HDMI interfaces. Once the unit is connected, you can use the included remote to control the built-in interface and play a variety of video and audio formats.
The SATA HDD Multi-Media Player Adapter may not have a sleek design or even a cool name, but if you are looking for a simple way to watch your media files on your TV, plus move some files around, this gizmo will get the job done. And for only USD$69, it just might be worth a look.
