Most Favorable Review

Great utility, but not FILE COMPRESSION!!!

Corel Winzip System Utilities – 3 User
Corel Winzip System Utilities – 3 User

Pros: Improves efficiency of PC. All in simple to use package.

Cons: No boot time defrag option. DOES NOT CONTAIN "WINZIP" ITSELF!!!! Corel bought Winzip, and its trademarked name, calls this Corel Winzip System Utilities, yet fails to include WINZIP!!!!!

Overall Review: What is Norton released Norton antivirus utilities, and did not include ANTI-VIRUS. This makes as much sense. THIS IS NOT A FILE COMPRESSION UTILITY. New Egg needs to recatagorize it. Also, no mention in packaging about 3-user license. Even on Corel's website.

Most Critical Review

Disappointed, no TCPIP porting

TRENDnet TE100-MFP1 1-Port Multi-Function USB Print Server RJ45 USB 2.0
TRENDnet TE100-MFP1 1-Port Multi-Function USB Print Server RJ45 USB 2.0

Pros: It will allow multiple computers to access a printer.

Cons: However, this unit requires client software to run on every machine. This is actually a USB sharing device, not a print server. You can not use Windows Networking or TCPIP porting to make the connection. The client software creates popups every time the printer changes users.

Overall Review: Do not advertise this as a print server. It's a USB sharing device.

Stable

G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR

Pros: Low cost. High clock speed.

Cons: 11 latency

Overall Review: I bought this to replace some flakey OCZ memory in my wife's AM3, Asus CrossHair Extreme 4 board . The OCZ had been in the previous Gigabyte boards we had. The G.Skill has been rock solid so far. In fact I ordered more (of the 9 latency) for my board.

Junk!!!

Destabilized machine

BYTECC UH-430 Super-Speed USB 3.0 4-ports Internal 3.5" Bay HUB
BYTECC UH-430 Super-Speed USB 3.0 4-ports Internal 3.5" Bay HUB

Pros: Nothing, well.. at least it installed with 6 hold down screw holes, making it secure.

Cons: Whether connected to USB 3.0 card I bought or connected to a systemboard onboard USB plug. Machine is destabilized and freezes to a black screen.

Overall Review: JUNK! JUNK! JUNK! JUNK! JUNK! JUNK! JUNK!

Expensive, but a good value

SIIG JU-91RW12-S4 9-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader/Write + Floppy
SIIG JU-91RW12-S4 9-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader/Write + Floppy

Pros: Installs to USB header OR USB port with adapter. My old USB device it replaced had to have a cable go out the back. This goes right to the system board USB header, or with an adapter to a USB port if need be. Red light renotes power up switches to green with diskette insertion. Comes with 5 1/4 bay adapter, most don't seem to. I ended up using OEM Antec bay adapter, anyway. but its nice to have had the option.

Cons: Expensive
