Good Switch - EggXpert Review
Pros: Very solid performer. I did a transfer of nearly 20GB of files and I got almost 600MB/s throughput. Small size and footprint. Long warranty.
Cons: I have a downstairs PC that is supposedly Gigabit port. However, when I plugged it in it was only running at 100MB/s. I am not sure if it was the wire, or the switch as all other ports were running gigabit. I have tried different ports with no success.
Overall Review: I received this as part of an EggXpert review and after a few months I can finally write this review for certain. This is a good switch for this price. It is a very solid performer and looks good too. Get it!
Okay - Eggxpert Review
Pros: Setting up an average network is very easy. Good antenna and range. A pretty cool iPhone app that I downloaded that can send notifications. Fairly low priced and lots of features. 300N bandwidth and is plenty fast. Good security setup.
Cons: Dropped connections once in a while and sometimes requires a reset. My Trendnet router could run for months without needing a reset. Although it has good range, the speed is significantly slower the further away you are. In addition, to access the router up you will need to have a wire connection.
Overall Review: I received this router as part of an Eggxpert review and after using it for months, I can finally write the review. In my opinion is router is average to above average, but the reliability is a concern.
Excellent memory for the price!
Pros: 4x16GB = 64GB of DDR4, good 3200MHz, works with Ryzen 3700x and ASUS B550 TUF mATX WiFi board. Fits under Noctua NH-D15S
Cons: DDR5 is coming but at very high cost. Heatsink is slightly taller than what I would like.
Overall Review: Good memory for the cost. Good value.
Good product as advertised. Great price and capacity.
Pros: It works and the capacity is right on. I can charge my iPhone 5 for about 8 times when the phone battery percent is in the low teens. Each charge when the phone battery is in the low teens, it drains about 10-12% from the ADATA battery
Cons: Heavy, bulky, the LED flashlight is bright, but not SUPER bright. But these are expected and minor
BELKIN F9L1001 N150 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 150Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Pros: Supposed to be free after rebate (which never came). From a company that has been around, but...
Cons: -- Terrible device. Drops connection every hour or so. I had so much trouble connecting with it. And if it connects, the speed is nowhere near 150Mbps (more the 40ish Mbps). All my other devices don't have this problem. -- Newegg rebate is terrible. I had 3 different rebates processed by "Newegg" and the company that it outsourced to. All 3 were claimed to be processed and mailed to me. And yet, I received none of it. What are the chances that all 3 are lost in the mails? I highly, highly doubt it. When I called the rebate company, the CSR was impatient and was very rude to me and told me that the promotional period has ended and she cannot reissue anything, and there is nothing she can do. 3 rebates over $100 all lost.
Overall Review: -- DO NOT BUY. Lousy device, hence free after MIR, and the rebate never come. -- Newegg, if you want to do rebate, do it yourself or with reputable company. That company is screwing you and stealing your money. Personally I would never buy another product with rebate processed by "Newegg" or its outsourced company again. Or at least I would not waste time sending it the rebate. Just more hassle and no chance of getting anything anyway.
Fractal Design Define R5 FD-CA-DEF-R5-BK Black Computer Case
Pros: Great quiet case and elegant design. Easy to install. Fan filters in the front and bottom. So easy to build in. Lots of room.
Cons: Missing accessory box, and Newegg said it is not included since it is not in the pictures. Sent pictures of what the accessory box looks like and what it is (external links to review sites). Escalated the issue to a supervisor and the answer was the same. Really? Newegg? You are in the business of selling PC components and your staff does not even know what is the accessory box for a computer case? How am I supposed to build a PC without it? Very disappointed in Newegg support. Minus 1 egg.
Overall Review: Fractal Design came to the rescue. I opened a support ticket, and Fractal Design responded within a day and sent me the accessory box after I gave them the invoice and serial number. I have bought around 5 Fractal cases and will continue to support a company with great customer service.
