Powered USB Hubs
A number of low-cost powered USB hubs are known to have caused problems. Members of the Raspberry Pi forums have reported low power or no power at all in some cases. The following is a list of specific Powered USB Hubs which appear to be fault-free. Please note that these do not take into account powering the Raspberry Pi from the hub, in addition to its peripherals.

USB UART adapters
The USB UART adapter is used to access the serial console of the Raspberry Pi from a development host such as a laptop or desktop PC. The USB end connects to the PC and the UART header end connects to the USB. While it is possible to connect the USB end to another Raspberry Pi, this configuration has not been tested unless explicitly mentioned against an individual entry below.

Power adapters
The Raspberry Pi uses a standard Micro USB (type B) power connector, which runs at 5v. Generally you can use a MicroUSB to USB cable and then either power the Raspberry Pi directly from your main computers USB ports (if they provide enough power), or by using a USB to Mains adaptor. A number of mobile phones use MicroUSB power cables, and these are compatible with the Raspberry Pi in most cases. Below is a list of power adaptors known to work.

Display adapters
While technically there shouldn't be a difference between one (for example) HDMI->DVI adapter and another, it would be nice to have a list of working ones so if necessary, you can just buy a recommended one (contributors should give links) instead of hunting around. This section could contain information about verified HDMI->DVI, CompositeRCA->SCART, CompositeRCA->VGA boxes/chipsets, and HDMI->VGA boxes/chipsets.

HDMI->DVI-D
None explicitly mentioned

HDMI->VGA converter boxes
According to user "asb" -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007KEIRNG -- the Neewer HDMI to VGA adapter works with the Pi.

This adapter (from Kanaan) -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/KanaaN-Adapter-Converter-Cable-Resolutions/dp/B007QT0NNW -- is working. Quality not wonderful, but certainly usable, on 1400x900 monitor.

According to user "na1pir" -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/BK-HDMI-Male-to-VGA-RGB-Female-HDMI-to-VGA-Video-Converter-adapter-1080P-for-PC-/140742987581

Composite->SCART
None explicitly mentioned

Composite->VGA converter boxes
None explicitly mentioned, and they are pricey so the chances of someone buying one to test functionality is low

SD cards
Note that manufacturers change their designs over time, even as the specs stay the same. (E.g. an ACME 8 GB class 4 card manufactured in 2011 might work, while one manufactured in 2012 might not.) For this reason, please specify product numbers in the lists below, when possible.
