Most Favorable Review

My far the best

StarTech.com SATDOCK2REU3 USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive Duplicator & Eraser Dock - Standalone 2.5/3.5in HDD & SSD Eraser and Cloner - Duplicator & Sanitizer
StarTech.com SATDOCK2REU3 USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive Duplicator & Eraser Dock - Standalone 2.5/3.5in HDD & SSD Eraser and Cloner - Duplicator & Sanitizer

Pros: This is by far the best stand alone HD dock on the market. today. I didn't buy it for that. I bought it because it is a Duplicator and it is by far the best that I have seen to date. No need to have it hooked up to a PC to work. It will clone Windows 8.1 update 1 perfectly. That's why I bought 2.

Cons: None Not One.

Overall Review: The instructions are easy to read, but make sure to read carefully. It takes about 3 hrs. to clone 1 TB Its not fast but the end result is only thing that matters. It will clone ever thing office etc. with out any problems or activation problems. windows update works ever thing will work as if it was the original drive. All or this with out software. You don't want know how much money I have spent on Clone software and not work.... Well not any more. Make sure to cycle the power off and on at the end. Its simple.

Problems

AVG Ultimate 2015 - Unlimited Devices / 2 Years
AVG Ultimate 2015 - Unlimited Devices / 2 Years

Pros: Up date....Review for some of us.

Cons: Install problems with Ultimate. If you have any previous copy of AVG or Tuneup trial products installed on the PC that you want to upgrade, you will have problems with the upgrade and with the install and activation. Here is the fix’s. Step 1: Uninstall all previous AVG software go in to control panel it is under programs and features. Restart your PC after it is removed. Step 2: If you are going to remove all of AVG products, click on My PC or This PC; double click on C: drive and go into program (86) file look for AVG folder and delete that folder. Otherwise open the file and delete the product that you will upgrade. Close Step 3: Right click on C: Drive go to properties and open. You will see a box labeled Disk Clean, click on it to run. Next you will see a box labeled Clean Up System Files, click on that and let it run; when it’s complete, click on More Options. Go down to System Restore and Shadow Copies. Click on Clean Up boxes. Wait a good 30 seconds than click Ok, for cleanup process to begin. It will ask you if you want to delete files. Click yes, and once done restart your PC. Now it is ready for the new software install. Step 4: You will activate your first copy as the administrator on that PC. You will send out invite to the other PC that you want to protect.

Overall Review: As I said before I have a big family I'm in charge of nine PC. This is by far best antivirus package you can buy that works in all phases. I hope AVG works on this con.

Newegg

Newegg Premier 12 Month Membership
Newegg Premier 12 Month Membership

Pros: Premier package is at a fair price. I have been Newegg customer as far back as 1992. If you buy a lot of product it will pay for itself in no time at all. Plus all the other benefits. Newegg is fair to work with. I recommend Newegg for sure.

Cons: Newegg is not perfect. But at the same time their goal is customer satisfaction. There will always be cycles that I have found over years of good & bad. This is normal in retail. Management is the key.

StarTech

StarTech SAT32MSAT257 mSATA SSD to 2.5in SATA Adapter Converter
StarTech SAT32MSAT257 mSATA SSD to 2.5in SATA Adapter Converter

Pros: I like StarTech products period. I bought 2 to use with StarTech duplicator. How I use them is to upgrade Msata SSD. The other use wouild be for Msata to Sata SSD, that leaves sata drive open for heat problems. SSD do run hot.

Cons: None

Very nice

Pros: This router is a winner. NetGear simplified the set up. That surprised me. The distance is unbelievable also. I have 19 devices on my network with no problems. This router will do exactly what it says it will do. I strongly recommend this router if you looking to upgrade.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Make sure to download Netgear Genie on your PC and your Phone for testing. Upgrade firmware during setup. Also the Genie will let you know when a new firmware is available.
