Pros: For a hard drive, there isn’t much that can be really good or bad. Occasionally, you get a drive that arrives DOA or dies shortly after you install it. Otherwise, as long as it works, it makes most everyone happy. I’m glad to report that this drive not only works, but it’s pretty quick, too. After struggling with several other brands of hard drive makers, I switched to Western Digital a few years back. I have only had one failure, and that was a drive that had been in constant use for more than 6 years. I can’t comment on the reliability of this drive as I’ve only put about 100 hours on it, but if it is anything like the other WD drives I’ve used, it should be good for many years. My current set up uses a 120 GB SSD (550 MB/s read/500 MB/s write) along with this drive and another older 1 TB WD (Caviar) Black drive in a RAID 1 set up. I am seeing up to 120 MB/s read and 100 MB/s write across both drives (see “other” section). I am satisfied with these speeds. Newegg doesn’t officially list any speeds for this drive, but in my experience, this is right around where my existing physical hard disk drives max out. This drive features SATA 6 to take advantage of its capabilities. It also has 64 mb of cache for better access times. Set up is the same as any other new drive; you must initialize it and format it in Windows, or do it during windows installation. Once you do that, you're good to go.

Cons: Again, there isn’t much to say about a hard drive unless it stops working. And this one hasn’t, so I can’t complain about that. The only thing I could really complain about is that this drive does make a little bit of noise, but I can’t say that it is really any worse than my other disk drives. You notice it when the machine starts up, but as long as it isn't next to your head, it shouldn't bother you.

Overall Review: It is worth mentioning that since I run a mirroring RAID set up, my test speeds are limited by the slowest drive which is most likely my older 1 TB drive. However, I don’t think the new one would be much faster spare the fact that it has twice as much cache. A few years ago, I switched exclusively to WD for my desktop hard drives and haven't looked back. I've used them for externals, internals, (3.5"), and even a 2.5" laptop SSD. The only drive I have had fail in 10 years was an old 250 GB drive that had probably seen many thousands of hours of use over 6 years. WD has always supplied me with excellent drives at great prices.

Pros: I have been using this headset on and off for about a month and a half – some for music, a little gaming, and then just a little bit of video chatting to verify functionality of the microphone. One of the most notable features of these headphones is that the build quality seems quite nice for something that sells for this price. The foam cups on your ears are soft and comfortable, the glowing logo on the back of each side is a nice touch, and the retractable microphone is a plus (since I hardly use it). Everything on this unit feels like it is considerably higher quality than its price or brand name might suggest. Think of it like a fancy Hyundai: you don’t expect it to be as nice as a Mercedes, but it is actually pretty good. Running Windows 10, my PC immediately installed a generic driver for them and after a second, I was able to switch my audio output from HDMI to the headphones. Fortunately, the cord is nice and long so I was able to plug it into the back of my tower on the floor and still sit comfortably. Speaking of which, the cord also feels heavy and more durable than your average headphones. Another favorite of mine was the large in-line volume controls. They are easy to find and glow a nice soft blue so that you can see them without having to blindly feel. There is a mute button on the side, as well. It hangs down far enough that it isn’t right next to your face, but it’s still close enough to find consistently. More notes on volume below…

Cons: Though I did not initially use the software (just plugged into Windows and got going), I didn’t find these to be particularly loud. Maybe I’m spoiled, but they just didn’t blow me away with their loudness or even their sound quality. I am by no means an audiophile, but I have Bluetooth headphones that seem to provide more clarity and bass than these. I did spend a little time with the equalizer and was able to make them sound better, but I still wasn’t blown away by them. Not to mention, somehow the volume adjustment from 0-10 covers about 95% of the loudness – any setting above 10 up to 100 hardly gets noticeably louder. This seems obscure, but I confirmed this problem on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 on the same machine. My other big nitpick is that even with them pressed securely on someone’s head, there is a LOT of sound still emanating into the room. I get that these aren’t the kind of headphones you’re going to be plugging into your phone in public, but I was quite surprised at the amount of sound coming out of the back of the headphones. You could almost leave them laying on the desk and just listen to them that way.

Overall Review: After reading through some of the other reviews here, there seems to be a huge quality disparity between what some users are seeing. Some reviews rant and rave about the absolute high quality of them, others (like me) are nonplussed, to say the least. G.Skill isn’t a new company; I’ve been using their RAM for years and have never had a problem. Not sure if there are actually variations in what we are seeing or if people just have different opinions. I even gave these the benefit of the doubt and used them for many hours, hoping to achieve a little break in on the drivers to improve sound quality and clarity. Alas, I can’t say I noticed a difference after ~20 hours of listening. Some of the initial reviews claimed the mic was quiet and of poor quality; I used it for a few video calls just to get an idea of how it works. And that’s basically it: it works. It wasn’t particularly loud or quiet, and the sound quality wasn’t anything spectacular. It just worked.

Pros: I'm not the kind of person to generally trim every hair, but sometimes, you just gotta get those nose hairs. This little tool does the job! Its also good for getting that one random, 2 inch long hair that grows on my ear lobe without risking a nick or cut. Various peach fuzz won't know what hit it!

Cons: Many other tools in this price range are FULLY water resistant, which allows you to easily rinse them out without fear of damage and use them in the shower if you so choose. This one claims the attachments can withstand water. Also, I found that this required multiple passes to adequate groom my eyebrows, which aren't particularly thick or coarse. Finally, its nice to have all the extra tips to be able to change out, but everything comes in a loose plastic tray and will be all over your bathroom floor in 2.1 seconds - this is probably my single greatest gripe. A small softsided bag would be awesome.

Overall Review: In this price range, I think it competes well. Its advertised to have "lithium power", though in reality its just a AA battery that isn't rechargeable. I have purchased several nose hair trimmers from other large ecommerce sites and they have all lasted me about as long as the first battery can last, then they die. Hopefully this one can buck that trend!

Pros: This thing is FAST. Like night-vs-day fast, even compared to my existing SATA3 SSD. My already fast boot speeds were noticeably reduced and this thing just flies. I don't want to copy and paste a ton of test results that will just get glanced over, so here's some of the highlights: sequential read and write speeds maxed out well over 3000 MB/s! The gold standard for SSDs has long been Samsung's EVO drives, and this one compares pretty directly while literally being 1/3 of the price. Windows install completes in minutes. Booting is incredibly fast, as is waking up from sleep. If you're already running any m.2 drive, this won't be quite as much of a difference, but more than likely you will still notice a drastic improvement in some load times.

Cons: I see several other reviews mentioning temperatures getting high, but I didn't notice any issues with this thing sandwiched into my HP Omen (alongside the 1 TB HDD). Unfortunately, it won't fit into my older desktop that lacks the M.2 port. Oh well.

Overall Review: My only concern with this drive is reliability - I've used 4 different SSDs (2.5" and M.2) and after a few years, all but one has failed (the one still going is only about a year old). I'm not a power user anymore, though I do some photo editing with large files. This technology just doesn't seem to be as reliable as platter-style drives, so I would always say you should back up your files on the regular! This drive does come with a 5 year warranty, but that doesn't appear to include data recovery in the event of a covered failure.

Pros: It works! Purchased for an outdoor security camera and it works just fine. It has seen all kinds of weather ranging from highs over 100 to lows at -20 and hasn't failed. I can't comment on read or write speeds as it's in a pretty low-stress environment. It only writes to the card when the camera detects motion, so I anticipate that it will outlast the camera.

Cons: None at this point! Got it for very cheap and couldn't be happier.

Overall Review: I remember when ADATA wasn't much of a brand/was a bargain brand. Lately they have really stepped up their game, especially when it comes to flash memory. I would not be afraid to purchase any flash memory from them.

Pros: Though looks are subjective, I am a huge fan of the looks of this case. Its understated and clean with a completely bare front face with an attractive brushed finish. The power button is top-facing and is next to your (also top-facing) plugs, which is really convenient for people who have their machine sitting under a desk rather than on it. I have actually broken both front USB ports on my current case because they sit at the very bottom and stick out. Extra sound dampening means that it’s very quiet, something my previous case was not. Removable filters are a nice touch, though I don’t think I know anyone who actually cleans the inside of their PC any time other than when they are building or swapping hardware. Airflow seems more than adequate and there’s plenty of space in here to keep things moving. Another favorite feature (and a must-have for me) is the tool-less trays for the 3.5” drives. I know it's not THAT big of a deal, but since the component most likely to be changed/added is a hard drive, this just makes it that much easier. There is built in cable management features, which are nice, at least in theory.

Cons: I know optical drives have really gone the way of the Dodo in increasingly thinner laptops, but cutting out the bays on a tower seems ridiculous. I said I like the plain front of the case; I don’t know why they couldn’t have allowed at least one cutout for a CD drive. While the case looks nice, it doesn’t quite have the high-end feel of a solid steel case. Maybe somewhere in the middle compared to my old Corsair case?

Overall Review: I received this case for free under the Eggxpert program. I do really like it, though for the current price I don’t think it would be my #1 pick, especially without the optical drive bay.
