MYTHS

Pros: Is a great system, you can repair it, make back ups, change any and all parts and reactivate it. Eyecandy is grat, Media center is great, Not a microsoft fan but this is better than xp or the ill famed vista.
Cons: The feedback myths about if i change my motherboard i cant use it. YOU CAN takes a 2 minute call, No repair option THERE IS.
Overall Review: Cmon people if you leave feedback make sure it is honest. You can change motherboards or any other part at the worst you have to make a 2 minute call.
No go on reistering

Pros: none
Cons: downloaded 2 times and when I went to register it said code invalid both times.
Overall Review: when you go to register it only gives option for 2020 and not 2021. That could be the reason for code invalid message. I have spent two hours trying different ways to register it and it would always give me the code invalid message. Of course they don't give the option on 2021 in the drop down menu so I called it a day and gave up. Might be good if they updated their website to include 2021.
Decent for home use.

Pros: Wattage is low yet puts out good white light you can choose warm or cool white. 2. Has a very good color selections. 3. You can set it to different colors that are pre selection. 4. You can set your own personal colors and then it will cycle thru the selection. 5. You can sync it to music or and get this to your TV. 6. No credit card required.
Cons: You have to use their own app call magic home. Had to sync it two times to get it to work.
Overall Review: This isn't a bad bulb for what you get changes colors thanks to your TV or music and you can use it with Alexa and as my whole house is a smart home it was easy for me to get it set up and working. I don't have magic home app synced into my echo dots so after I got the light to work I had to go into Alexia and add magic home to the app so it was allowed to control. I used it for a short time and then I turned it on to take pictures of some of the different colors and it wouldn't work. I tried to resync it and it was difficult I had to use the reset procedure twice to get it to blink and reset it. It doesn't seem quite as bright as my other smart lights but then they are only white they don't change colors. I like adding it to my TV and then I'll let it pick out its own color scheme and when I'm watching a movie it changes colors with it pretty cool little bit distracting overall it's a decent purchase.
Great splitters

Pros: Includes everything you need to use them.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I was actually impressed by these cables because not only do you get the splitters but you get the contacts to make sure that they plug in everything right the right way the first time and as we all know motherboards just don't have enough plugins for either USB or RGB or argb so these Splitters come in really handy if you've got fans like I do and water cooling and all that add-ins that I have only had RGB plugins that I could use and he just wasn't enough so using these I still have spots for one more if I want to hook something up so I may be ordering more of these cables just to split off that one to hook two fans to it.
Great little drive

Pros: Small form factor, speed works as advertised
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: I have three and two drives at 7400 mb per second and I have this drive this rated up to 10,000 mb per second this drive does 9500 read and 9200 write. There's very little difference in the speed of this drive and the other two terabyte drives I have but I have windows installed on this drive and I put it on a MSI Motherboard so it could use a full advantage of the speed. My window starts in about 20 seconds and I'm on windows. Then I use another Drive for my games on Steam and another drive for my backups and it works really well I don't have to share PCI Lanes with my video card or other hard drives. Things have evolved so much during the times that I've been building computers that compared to the old 7200 RPM hard drives or the old 5,000 RPM hard drive this is Speed City make sure you download and install the SSD toolbox for it to keep the firmware updated and to check your drive.
Great drive

Pros: Fast my benchmark is 7025 read and 6800 write. I know it is rated higher but most times will be a bit lower than posted speed. I have 5 nvme drives and none of them do rated speed. Advertise speed is usually highest it can go, they always get close.
Cons: People that think because it is rated at 7200 complain if rhey only get 6900.
Overall Review: I had a SP 2t drive that went bad after a couple of months. Emailed several times finally RMA,,ed. The drive by automatic rma it and that was a month ago. I judge a company by the service you get. SP doesn't even have a phone number. I had to RMA an older drive to team group they replied to emails within a day, had new drive in 2 weeks. I personally won't ever buy a SP drive again. I had to buy a new drive of this brand to get computer running again.
Decent fans
Arrived early all three worked and they're pretty silent fans I would buy again
Adapter
Save me a lot of time to be able to initialize it and format it to stick in the motherboard does the job well
Fast
Isn't as fast as my 1 terabyte but space makes up for it. Had two other name brand and could not even see them to format them. Sabr@nt 1 and 2 gig. Worst part i. Lost 70 restocking ree
