Pros: Faster boot time over standard HDD (to fully usable state) Much cheaper per GB than an SSD Fits in laptops or desktops (although you may need an adapter for your desktop, this is a bare drive).

Cons: Whether of not there are cons depends on what you're comparing it against: 5400 HDD - No cons, you come out ahead in read/write times 7200 HDD - Pretty much break even in read/write times SSD - Much slower, no contest

Overall Review: I cloned this and three other drives with the same image, then compared boot times and read/write performance (using AS SSD). My test bed was limited to SATA 3.0Gb/s but only the SSD was held back by this limitation. This is what I came up with using my very unscientific methods: Seagate Hybrid: Boot = 45 seconds. Read = 86. Write = 115 Hitachi 5400 HDD: Boot = 75 seconds. Read = 49. Write = 48 Hitachi 7200 HDD: Boot = 55 seconds. Read = 104. Write = 113. Plextor SSD: Boot = 30 seconds. Read = 229. Write = 192. The way I see it, if you're swapping with a 5400 HDD in your laptop or netbook you'll get a measurable performance boost and lots of storage, a very worthwhile trade and worth five stars. If you already have a comparably sized 7200 the cost will be harder to justify. And SSDs are all about speed at the expense of storage, so you'll have to decide which is more important to you.

Pros: Speakers loud enough to fill a room 4 USB ports

Cons: Cooling fan is noisy Styling won't suit everyone's tastes Bulky

Overall Review: When this device arrived in the mail I was surprised at how large it was, it takes up a fair amount of space on a desk. I was concerned that it would be too thick in the front for comfortable typing but the height works with my tablet/keyboard combo (I'm typing this review on it) --- you may experience problems with a thicker laptop. There are no instructions included other than those printed on the front of the box, but you won't need any because this devise couldn't be simpler to set up: connect the included audio patch cable and the usb cable and you're set. Unless you're hooked up to an external power supply the fan, USB ports, and speakers are powered by your laptop. I hooked up a wireless mouse, thumb drive, and a 500GB Seagate external drive to the built-in ports and everything worked as they should. Then I hooked up one of my phone chargers and disconnected the USB cable from the portable, and the fan and speakers drew their power from the charger. However, a power supply only powers the cooler, it won't charge your portable. (Regarding the power supply, I found that all of my cell phone chargers with a microUSB port worked, but it should be noted the box calls it a "mini" USB port --- not correct). The fan in my M6 review unit cost some eggs. It's noisy at any setting (the speed is variable), and very distracting unless you're playing music or watching a movie where the speakers can mask the noise. Fortunately the fan isn't necessary to get some degree of cooling since just allowing airspace under a laptop improves thermals. The speakers are the strong suit of this device. They easily fill a room and the built-in woofer provides a decent amount of bass, comparable to a typical inexpensive 2.1 computer speaker setup. Movies and games have a lot of punch but there is a lack of fidelity with music. However, these speakers are miles better than those found in most laptops. The price point for the M6 Audio Cooling Pad wouldn't be bad if everything worked, considering you get a 2.1 speaker system and 4-port USB hub built in, but unfortunately its primary intended purpose as a laptop cooler is defeated by that noisy fan. Unless the device I received is the exception rather than the rule (certainly possible) it's hard for me to wholehartedly recommend it.

Pros: Exactly as described Prompt shipping Good price They do just what they're supposed to

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought a couple of these cards to use with my Raspberry Pi 4 because I like to play around with the different Pi 4 OS releases and don't want to sacrifice my Raspbian Buster SD card. I haven't experienced any problems with Teamgroup products.

Pros: They work They don't cost much They're flat

Cons: None that I can see

Overall Review: I like using flat ethernet cables in certain situations (where cable clutter is an issue) and these are doing the job nicely. No complaints here.

Pros: Good price It works

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've never had a problem with Rosewill products so I bought this cable based on brand.

Pros: Interview questions make it as easy as possible to complete a return Intuitive interface Easy efiling

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've been doing my taxes electronically since the 90s and found Block's product to be my preferred choice. I buy from Newegg because they always have the best price.

These arrived promptly and were just as advertised. I'm happy with the cables and I have no complaints about this seller.

Excellent customer service

Even though the item shipped from overseas it was delivered within the projected time frame, well packaged and as described. I'm happy with the product and the seller.
