Seagate ST500LM000 500GB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Laptop Thin SSHD Bare Drive
Seagate ST500LM000 500GB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Laptop Thin SSHD Bare Drive

Pros: When I first installed this on my wifes laptop neither of us were impressed with the abilities of this "sshd" the boot times seemed about the same and there was no real change in the overall speed of the windows or its apps launched. Then after my wife used it for a few weeks I borrowed it to do the bills and I was ASTONISHED to find that it woke up in only a few seconds and when my web browser launched it came up almost instantly! My wife didn't notice the change as much but for me (who didn't use it for a few weeks) the difference was like night and day!!

Cons: If I wanted to complain about something (the reason it's just below 5 eggs) is that it takes a few weeks for the drive to copy the most used data to the ssd portion and begin working faster. other than that this is a fine drive and well worth the cost.

Overall Review: Keep in mind that if you get this drive it will take some time and when you first start using it there's a good chance programs and boot times my be extended as it's copying that information over to the ssd. give it time and it WILL speed up on you.

passes the time?

Pros: I played the first hour or two and it was a little amusing.

Cons: It quickly moved to the back of my que as there are just better games available and I don't have the time to play as much as I used to.

Overall Review: I still feel like most "move" titles havent really been taken seriously or they just haven't really taken enough time to make an "immersive" game.

Worked fine. Make sure you have a floppy power adapter/source

SEDNA - PCI Express USB 3.0 4 Port ( 2E + 2I ( 20 Pin ) ) adapter card supports Win 8 UASP, with Floppy Power connector, NEC 720201 chipset

Pros: - This was the cheapest card and had decent reviews so I thought "what the heck" - It works fine and I've had no issues for my main purpose of activating the usb 3.0 on my computer case. - I didn't test throughput but it worked fine for my bluetooth adapter

Cons: ****Shipping for this took WEEKS!**** (this is the main reason I removed an egg) - if you need an adapter in a timely manner then you'll need to buy from another seller.

A solid and excellent switch

TP-Link 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch | Ethernet Splitter | Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports | Plug-and-Play | Traffic Optimization | Unmanaged (TL-SG108)

Pros: There are plenty of reviews that show the "hard data" (30mb transfer on a gig network and many simultaneous connections hardly slow it down) of these switches so I will focus on the more physical aspects of the switch. The switch is sturdy and a sold metal not cheap and plasticy like some of the competition. I had cat6a cable connected to the switch (similar in size and stiffness to coax cable) and they were only SLIGHTLY too stiff and heavy for it to sit flat on the edge of a table. Most cat5e cables will never be able to move this little rock.

Cons: none really. you COULD gripe about the price but you tend to pay more for higher quality materials so...

The wife loved it

Cons: none

Cons: none really
