Most Favorable Review
SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable/Black) Model SDCZ6-8192-A11
SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable/Black) Model SDCZ6-8192-A11

Pros: Sturdy design, excellent storage capability and very reliable performance with very reliable data storage. Looks sexy too!

Cons: Very irritating U3 CD software preloaded in the flash drive that trys to install itself to every machine you plug it into. Kind of kills the plug and play purpose of a flash drive if you need to install software every time you use it. Delete the software you don't need it!

Overall Review: Somewhat slower data transfer. However very reliable and 8GB allows you to move just about anything anywhere! Inexpensive for the data storage size! I recommend buying one!

Most Critical Review

Not plug and play.

ORICO USB3.0 & eSATA Combine Host Controller Card Adapter Card [ NEC Renesas Chipset] (1 x USB3.0 & 1 x eSATA) - Black (PNU3539-U3E)
ORICO USB3.0 & eSATA Combine Host Controller Card Adapter Card [ NEC Renesas Chipset] (1 x USB3.0 & 1 x eSATA) - Black (PNU3539-U3E)

Pros: Does what it says it does. Provides an eSata and a USB 3.0 port.

Cons: Card is not recognized by windows without the drivers. The drivers come on a disc that does not have auto play, and is pre-loaded with tons of other files in chinese. It is not clear what you need to click on to install your correct driver. I literally only figured out what file I needed to install from the newegg reviews. Finally the website's download driver links are broken. The card is worthless without drivers. I shouldn't have had to figure this out for 45 minutes to use a simple usb card.

Overall Review: The card works, however the customer support, website, software and drivers make the purchase almost not worth it. I don't buy a card to screw with it for an hour trying to hack a driver for it.

Scientist for bioinformatics

G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C10D-16GSR
G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C10D-16GSR

Pros: I received the first module of 16gb and easily set it to 1866mhz in the bios on my MPOWER Max mobo. Never had a problem and have been running stably.

Cons: I needed even more RAM as I do intense bio-informatics software applications and ordered a second unit. Only one of the DIMMS was working and I didn't realize it. I had system stability issues etc. I ran memtest86 and one of the new DIMMS was faulty generating over 30,000 errors in 15 minutes. Currently doing an RMA. Unfortunately this is delaying my work by up to two weeks.

Overall Review: I would give this 5 stars if I received only working units. However I guess not all ram is perfect all the time right?

Looks snazzy

Evogue USBCC-DUAL-BK Black Stylish Superior Dual USB DC Power Interacted In-Car Charger Socket Adapter
Evogue USBCC-DUAL-BK Black Stylish Superior Dual USB DC Power Interacted In-Car Charger Socket Adapter

Pros: Looks great, solid build, charges fast, hasn't blown a fuse in my car like other chargers have.

Cons: Only one of the slots is 2A. Charging off of 1A is a slow nightmare. Just make them both 2A...

Inexpensive great storage

G.Skill 32GB microSDHC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter (FF-TSDG32GA-C10)

Pros: Using it in my LG Gpad 8.3. Cheap Fast Stable It's storage, doesn't get much simpler!

Cons: None

I've received two defective tablets so far

LG G Pad 8.3 Tablet -  Quad-Core 2GB RAM 16GB Flash 8.3" Full HD Display Android 4.2, White (LGV500.AUSAWH)
LG G Pad 8.3 Tablet - Quad-Core 2GB RAM 16GB Flash 8.3" Full HD Display Android 4.2, White (LGV500.AUSAWH)

Pros: Bright screen, snappy responses.

Cons: First screen had a damaged LCD, the second tablet ignored user input and was totally unusable. I've RMA'ed for the second time hoping the 3rd one works. I'm not sure what is going on but I'm not impressed by the lack of quality control.
