Most Favorable Review
SYBA SY-CAB65008 3.95 in. Cable Female to Male
SYBA SY-CAB65008 3.95 in. Cable Female to Male

Pros: Will add that extra few inches for good cable management.

Cons: Seriously? It's a cable...

Overall Review: To remove any confusion these are 5.75 inch from tip to end and they do not come in the same colors shown. They are red and black "interlaced" (red black red black red...)

Most Critical Review

Bloated

Lenovo Laptop Ideapad 110 AMD A6-7310 4GB Memory 1TB HDD AMD Radeon R4 Series 17.3" Windows 10 Home 80UM000CUS
Lenovo Laptop Ideapad 110 AMD A6-7310 4GB Memory 1TB HDD AMD Radeon R4 Series 17.3" Windows 10 Home 80UM000CUS

Pros: - Price range.

Cons: -Completely bloated with useless Lenovo software that you will never need. -After all updates were installed, it took 3+ minutes to reboot. -7 partitions are created on the HDD...? -Even after uninstalling all the Lenovo bloatware it would still take a very long time to boot and everything was laggy. -Will need formating.

Overall Review: You will NEED to reinstall windows on this thing when you get it. Delete all partitions and do full install (assuming you have a windows disk or usb). Windows 7 will NOT work on this, you will have no working drivers for WLAN or Bluetooth. Once new Windows 10 is installed, it took about 35 seconds to boot. Note: To enter BIOS to install windows, you will need to push a small button in a tiny hole next to the power connector with a pin or needle (when computer is off). It took me many attempts pressing many keys before I found this.

Great for the drives inside!

WD 16TB My Book Duo Desktop RAID External Hard Drive USB 3.0 - WDBLWE0160JCH-NESN
WD 16TB My Book Duo Desktop RAID External Hard Drive USB 3.0 - WDBLWE0160JCH-NESN

Pros: -Best price for WD RED 8TB drives inside. -Easy to open to extract the drives. -Save about 80$ if you would buy them separately, but loose 1 year warranty.

Cons: Never used the enclosure. Apparently it runs hot. Data is encrypted so if you remove the drives to put in your PC your will need to re-format and loose existing data.

Overall Review: I have purchased 3 of these. Extracted all 6 drives and added them to my pool. I am using StableBit DrivePool to make one gigantic drive of 83TB (with other drives also). Can't be happier for the price of quality drives. My 5 star rating is completely ignoring the enclosure though...

as nice as a cable can be

StarTech.com LSATARND24 2 ft. Latching Round SATA Cable
StarTech.com LSATARND24 2 ft. Latching Round SATA Cable

Pros: Small then expected. I have many different brand round sata cables and this one is the thinnest. They are 1/8". Also the connector is smaller then other round cables I have so they can fit well side by side on motherboards that have stacked sata ports.

Cons: Shorter then advertised. I ordered two and they are both 23 3/4" long. This shouldn't matter too much though so no egg removed.

Overall Review: The thinness of these cables make for very good cable management.

Creative DJ Style Premium Headphones (HQ-1900)
Creative DJ Style Premium Headphones (HQ-1900)

Pros: Short cable, perfect length for mp3 players.

Cons: Seemed bigger in picture. Very tight compared to others i have. Good sound quality for "normal" music but extremely bad distortion for death metal maxed out.

Overall Review: Price paid was fair (40$) but these will go in my growing pile of unused headphones. Finding good headphones for brutal death metal is very hard, but then again, that's a very specific type that demands alot.
