Most Favorable Review

Great Drive and is upgradeable via Firmware!

Lite-On DVD Burner Black SATA Model iHAS124-14
Lite-On DVD Burner Black SATA Model iHAS124-14

Pros: 1) Purchased the same model in the past and is still running today. 2) Good Price 3) These drives a upgradeable via Firmware 4) Lite-on comes out with firmware upgrades on a regular basis unlike many other companies 5) The Asus DRW-24B1ST and many other drives are actually made by Lite-On and is the same physical drive. The advantage of buying this model again is the firmware upgrade. Asus uses the same Lite-On drive but puts its name on them. Asus also uses its own firmware on their drives and has never come out with a firmware upgrade. 6) Reliable. I cant tell you how many thousands of DVDs and CDs that I have Read and Burned in this drive

Cons: 1) Can be loud when burning

Overall Review: Great drive for the price. Lots of Pro's as listed above. By Lite-On over the same Asus drive and other re-branded drive as you will get the upgrades only with the Lite-On model even though the other re-badged drives are the same physical drive.

Most Critical Review

Another BAD Experience with Asus

ASUS USB-N13 Wireless Adapter+USB Cradle, IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates WPA2
ASUS USB-N13 Wireless Adapter+USB Cradle, IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates WPA2

Pros: The Cradle is Included

Cons: Asus Support I contacted Asus support asking about Windows 8.1 drivers for this model. They took 5 days to respond to my email only to tell me that there are NO 8.1 drivers but there will be in the future. "REALLY ASUS? Windows 8.1 has been out for 6 months.

Overall Review: Asus use to have the best support back in the 90's and 2000's but the support over the last 5+ years has gone away. The only thing Asus is any good at is making motherboards. All of their accessories have little to no support and they are terrible at getting drivers and firmware out to the consumer in a timely manner.

Metal Casing - Good Size - Nice Features

VANTEC NST-366S3-BK 3.5-Inch SATA 6GB/s to USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure, Black
VANTEC NST-366S3-BK 3.5-Inch SATA 6GB/s to USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure, Black

Pros: ***UPDATE 8/3/2016*** (We originally used these enclosures with WD GREEN 4TB Drives. We have recently upgraded to 6TB Drives and wanted to UPDATE our review to let you know that they also Support 6TB just fine) 1) Metal Casing which helps dissipate heat 2) Vented in the front 3) Nice Blue LED for Hard Drive Activity 4) USB 3.0 5) SATA III 6) On / Off switch 7) Easy Installation 8) Never lost a connection

Cons: 1) Plastic inner tray (Why when everything else is metal?)

Overall Review: Newegg was selling this for $25.99 and when I was ready to purchase it was no longer listed and only sold through a 3rd party on Newegg for more. I was able to find it cheaper elsewhere but wanted to write a review as it is a very good product. Its hard to find a metal case with on/off switch and Supports USB 3.0 and SATA III at this price. I transferred 1TB of movies in a 24 hour period and the case stayed quite cool for all the work that it did. It never dropped a connection which a lot of these do.

Tons of Options and Extremely Reliable!!!

Kaspersky Total Security 2016 - 3 PCs (Key Card)
Kaspersky Total Security 2016 - 3 PCs (Key Card)

Pros: 1.) Tons of options and tweaks 2.) My favorite Option is being able to Pause the Protection with a simple Mouse Click 3.) Protects against malware and Virus 4.) System optimizer built in 5.) Easy to manage User Interface 6.) 3 Devices including Cell Phones, tablets and etc.

Cons: None so far which is amazing. I always at least have 1 issue with most products.

Overall Review: I got this on sale for $23 from newegg which was a steal. its worth the price for being able to use on 3 different devices. I have played with a lot of Total Security packages but really like the ease of moving around within Kaspersky's GUI. I was formerly a Bitdefender user but after having 1 issue and contacting support, I moved to kaspersky because support never, ever replied from Bitdefender.

Works great after 6 months!

ORICO 4 Port USB 3.0 HUB With Type C Power Supply Port For PC Laptop Computer Accessories ABS USB Splitter USB3.0 OTG Adapter Up To 5Gbps, Plug and Play,  For iMac, MacBook Air, PC, Laptops
ORICO 4 Port USB 3.0 HUB With Type C Power Supply Port For PC Laptop Computer Accessories ABS USB Splitter USB3.0 OTG Adapter Up To 5Gbps, Plug and Play, For iMac, MacBook Air, PC, Laptops

Pros: 1.) Cheap 2.) 4 USB 3.0 Ports 3.) Latest VIA Chipset 4. Small and Compact 5.) Has never disconnected even during long hard drive transfers

Cons: 1.) Is not a powered USB Hub so devices that need a little extra power may not work with this Hub.

Overall Review: For the price you really cannot go wrong. We cloned 4TB Hard Drives through this HUB and it never disconnected. The Hard Drives did have their own power source which is worth noting. We actually got better speeds on some devices than what the manufacturer advertises. We did purchase another USB 3.0 Powered Hub from another manufacturer which gets better speeds but it is double the price.

Solved all of my USB issues and gave me a lot of room for expansion!!!

NZXT IU01 Case Accessory
NZXT IU01 Case Accessory

Pros: 1) Gives you 3 Additional USB 2.0 Ports 2.) Gives you an additional 2 External Style (But are inside of your case) USB 2.0 Ports 3.) Works Great and is powered for those USB devices that suck up the wattage 4.) Simple Design and Easy to Install 5.) Includes all of the cables required to get it setup.

Cons: 1.) It is a little of a pricey option but much better than a USB Card 2.) Cables are short

Overall Review: Solved all of my Internal USB 2.0 issues and gave me a lot of room for expansion!!! It basically converts 1 Internal USB header on your Motherboard to 3 Internal and 2 External (See note above) I was dis-interested in the product because of the price but after doing research for a whole weekend I ended up coming back to it. Now I am very happy that I spent the extra bucks as it works great.

Terrible and Cheap

We ordered multiple Wireless USB adapters and they shipped them in a Ziploc Bag and the actual adapter was missing. The other adapters were complete but were sent in a cheap cellophane type bag.
