Perfect...
Pros: *Very Sturdy *Steel construction *Feels Solid *Relatively easy to install *Great price
Cons: I'm a type of guy that hates asking others for help when it comes to assembling things or DYI stuff. I will go to great lengths to avoid asking someone for help. But in this case, you really need someone to hold the stand while you screw in the monitor, or wise versa. There's just no avoiding it. There are reasons people have families.. or friends.. Living alone, or always doing things alone tends to backfire sooner or later, and it hits you right where it hurts the most.. Like trying to mount a monitor..
Overall Review: I got this for eighty bucks, and I feel like I got the best deal! I looked at other similar stands and they cost much more! I am amazed I got such a great stand for so cheap. And the best thing is that it looks and performs exactly as advertised. That's not a very common thing. Also, this stand feels like you can trust it with your huge, heavy, expensive monitor. You know it's not going to fall.
Falsely Advertized
Pros: It works It is small Installation is easy It looks interesting
Cons: Coverage is poor Signal is weak Product is falsely advertized to be able to cover the whole home. I live in a two bedroom apartment, and this router cant even cover all rooms. All my walls are made from Sheetrock and should be easy to pass through. It did not improve coverage at all over the stock router that came from my ISP, and speeds only improved by a tiny margin over stock ISP router even though the stock router is 150Mbps and this one is 300Mbps. Overall I am very disappointed with performance. Smart beam is a gimmick. It does absolutely nothing to improve coverage/range.
Overall Review: This router works ok, and performs on-par or worse with any other cheap router, it does not offer any advantages over it's competitors and has poor signal strength, poor coverage/range. I bought it specifically because it was advertized as having very good range and signal strength, but it doesn't.
Excellent for the price
Pros: -CHEAP -Enough space for a large closed-loop water cooler
Cons: -Newegg charges NY TAX now. Completely kills the deals Newegg has. Might as well order someplace else because of the TAX. -Pretty cramped case inside -Barely enough room for cable management
Overall Review: Overall, very usable and aesthetically pleasing. I would recommend this case if you are trying to save money.
Motherboard does not detect it.
Pros: -Cheap -Fast when no more than 50% full
Cons: -Motherboard doesn't detect it, so it cannot be used as a boot drive -useless as a boot drive -low quality -poor performance overall compared to other SSD in it's class
Overall Review: It's only good when used as an extra storage. Don't expect to use it as a boot drive. I threw all my games on it, and they do load much faster. It slows down to a crawl when full, but still at least as fast as a SATA drive, so if you consider the price it's still an ok deal as game/application STORAGE ONLY.
Horrible.
Pros: -Worked first few times
Cons: - Stopped working only after about 10-15 times of use -Feels very cheap and flimsy -Poorly made -Low quality, poor reliability
Overall Review: I strongly recommend to stay away from Memorex brand for DVD drives and will do so myself in the future. There is a reason this model is discontinued and out of stock.
Very disappointing
Pros: -It works, sort of. -Price was good -Windows does see the drive and it can be used as extra storage, but not the boot drive. See below.
Cons: -BIOS doesn't detect it at all. Says slot is empty. -If I try cloning my main disk to this one and boot from it, Windows wont boot from this drive. -Speeds are abysmal. I am only getting 1000/800 vs advertised speeds.
Overall Review: -I checked all the pre-requisites. -Trim enabled, disk is not full, BIOS updated, all mobo drivers installed and updated. -Asus X470 HERO Pro, Ryzen X1700, 16GB RAM
