Excellent warranty, but slow speed holds it back.

Pros: 1. Came in a box with nice bubble wrap (static safe!) 2. 1.81 TB of space (this is good). 3. 5 year warranty! This means Seagate stands by their product! This is GREAT!
Cons: 1. Only one Con.. Speed is slooooow.
Overall Review: This drive is advertised as 5x faster than a 7200 RPM drive. Nope! Crystal Disk Mark stats below: Seq (Q32T1): 169 / 198 4k (Q32T1): 1.6 / 4.8 Seq: 197 / 202 4k: 0.89 / 4.8 So, this would be good for a storage drive only. But… I really can’t recommend this for anything else. With that said. This is one of the extremely few drives that have a standard warranty (5 years is standard for ALL electronics). Seagate MUST be commended for that!
Great for Casuals, however, it is not a security camera ...

Pros: Extremely easy to setup if you do not have an existing netgear account. Arlo only changed the name of “netgear” to “arlo”. Thus the need for a netgear account. The motion detector works great. The picture is very sharp. Night vision isn’t the best, but it’ll do in a pinch.
Cons: If you have a netgear account, you must reset the password in order to register the camera. This is not in any instruction manual. 10 second delay, but that’s to be expected, even on a gig network. I don’t think there’s a recent microphone in the camera. It really doesn’t pick up anything … No API at all. Meaning, this is a closed ecosystem. No option to view camera locally or even store locally directly from camera. There are no 2-way communication with Arlo Q. TOS / Privacy Policy has no place in the modern world. Your data is your data, Netgear has no right to sell or give it away to anyone. If you Agree to the policy, you don’t own your data. This is extremely over priced for a casual web cam. Let’s face it, that is all it is.
Overall Review: This is an indoors only camera, it is not meant to be outdoors in any way, shape, or form. This is not a con, it is only something to be aware of. The target audience of the camera are for those who are curious as to what goes on inside the house. I cannot think of a reason how it can be used for security as it is a closed system. When you register, you are required to pick a plan, Ranging from free to $15 a month. This makes sense when storing data on Arlo’s servers… but, you should be able to store locally. After you pick the above plan, you are presented with a secondary plan. Yes, they want you to pay twice. CVR, a brand new (netgear-only) acronym in the security camera world that stands for “continuous recording”. … … … Yeah .. $20 per month, per camera. Thankfully you can skip this cash grab plan option.
Looks great, RAM isn't recognized properly anywhere.

Pros: Looks neat.
Cons: No motherboards recognize xmp3 for this ram. No motherboards recognize this ram as 5600 CL36
Overall Review: If you only care about the size and not performance, this ram is for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
These are expensive paperweights (not meant for cases)

Pros: The box looks pretty
Cons: - Missing case screws - Hidden catch that you must have 2 PWR connectors per 3 fans....
Overall Review: - Provide case screws - Don't hide power connector requirements. Right now, these are expensive paperweights. I bought 3x triple packs, and now I have to return them due to missing case screws. These fans require extremely long screws with nuts on the end. They came with these extremely short screws that has no use as there are zero screw holes in these fans.. only rubber slides to put in the long screws.
No instructions. cannot recommend.

Pros: None, it is missing instructions.
Cons: Missing instructions. This can be improved by providing instructions.
Overall Review: Cannot recommend. Basic information is missing. Something is attached to block, but unknown what it is. There is also another set of unknown brackets/bracers.
What can I say? It works!

Pros: 1. Looked up instructions on playstation.com. It was quick and easy.
Cons: 1. Zero instructions in the box. (-1 star) 2. Zero warranty listed in the box. (this is huge) 3. Incorrect size listed on the front of the box. It uses its own unique definition of GB. (-1 star)
Overall Review: Setup: Playstation 5 Normal (not digital, not slim) Install was simple. Runs as expected (it's another drive). This isnt anything special. It provides more space for your PS5.
