EVGA Supernova 750G
Pros: If you get a power supply with the last four digits of the serial number greater than 3900 you will find it works great with any motherboard. Plenty of power, fully modular, no problems at all with my MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming motherboard running I7-3770 with Hyper EVO 212 after market cooler, 32GB Crucial ram, two SSD drives, LG Blu-ray drive, Orico USB 3.0 card, Soundblaster card, TP LInk wireless card, card reader, all in a Lian Li PC-7FN aluminum mid-tower case. Runs awesome with Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, except for a dog of an OS <sigh>.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I did send in my original PS for a free and fast swap out by Mike @EVGA. He's an awesome customer service rep who performs outstanding service for customers. New power supply is running flawlessly for me.
Samsung iTB USB 3.0 external hard drive
Pros: Was good price on sale.
Cons: Drops connectivity on USB 3.0 usage
Overall Review: This drive seems to work fine and dandy when connected to a USB 2.0 port, but intermittently loses connectivity when connected to a USB 3.0 port. I couldn't get past 13% on trying to create a backup through a USB 3.0 port with all three attempts. It worked perfectly fine though when connected through a USB 2.0 port. No such problem with my W.D. external drives.
Wavlink USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Disk Enclosure to USB3 port
Pros: Sometimes works
Cons: Very iffy product. Get varying speeds with transfers. Sometimes very fast, but then slows down a LOT. Checked drive out with external adapter and the external adapter worked fine, with consistent transfer rates.

SATA-III to USB3 adapter
Pros: I bought two of these. One of them worked perfectly and gave me outstanding transfer rates in my Macrium Reflect program ( between 2gbps to 3gbps), but the second unit would only operate at USB2 rates of speed ( plugged into the same port as before with the same drive). So the first one was superb, but the second one was BLAH!!!!!

Kingston 256GB Traveler USB3 drive
Pros: Nicely built drive with large capacity.
Cons: Only has the USB-C connectivity. and didn't come with an adapter to go from USB-C to USB-A for us older PC users. But I bought the necessary adapter locally at Micro Center for $9 and the drive works great in my USB3 ports on my older system.
Overall Review: Overall it is a great drive so far, and I would recommend it. Just keep in mind it only has USB-C connectivity and you'll have to purchase an adapter to use it on an old USB-A port.
TeamGroup 2TB TForce Vulcan Z QLC drive
Pros: The drive is 2TB and arrive early.
Cons: Buyer Beware - NO where in the Newegg description does it say this is a QLC drive! Nowhere on the drive or the box does it say it is 3D NAND. QLC drives are notorious for not being overly reliable nor do they last as long as TLC or MLC drives. Keep these things in mind before ordering and you won't be disappointed. I've bought the Vulcan 2TB drives from Newegg before, but this is the first time they slipped me a mickey and sold me a QLC drive without listing it as such in the description.
Overall Review: NO, I would NOT recommend this drive.
Belkin power protected power strips arrived in perfect condition and work great! Thank you.

The product was as described, but it took a L-O-N-G time to get to me!

Cat Toys
Bought as a present for my niece's new kittens, but delivery to her will have to wait until we can get upstate to deliver them. This darn virus is a real nuisance.
