Fine, fair priced, capacity/funtion
Pros: Functions as specified, easily recognized in Windows 7, rapid data xfer/formating, and decently attractive for a stick, tech. stick. Installed Windows OS installation with boot sector on this drive. Fine and comfortable installation of the OS, although have to use USB 2 controller on system board. USB 3.0 adapter PCIe board I purchased worked "only" inside the OS so you can't boot from one. Seem there just isn't a USB 3.0 adapter PCIe card that will accommodate a boot drive.
Cons: No data xfer in prgress indicator (flashing LED, etc.)
Overall Review: This is my 3rd ADATA product. First USB 3 I purchased years ago and still works like new. Seems to be a dependable company with a good assortment of aid on their website.
MS Office 2013 Largely On MS Computer
Pros: Easy to instal, operate, and few, if any errors. Minimum data resides on your machine, largely resides on MS's computer, which can be a con and is for me.
Cons: Cannot Install on a drive other than your OS. Cannot chose what to instal or not instal, a huge departure from former Office editions. Difficult to find How to dos and expensive tech support. X pensive to the hilt. REstricted color shemes and those that exist are dull. If you have to do a reinstal, it's like starting a purchase and downloading it all over again, unless you burn it on a disk of some sort.
Overall Review: MS Office now seems to belong only to MS and the consumer/user must comply even to the extent of not being able to chose which drive to instal it on.
What I got Was a Team Group 128GB C186 USB 3.2 Labeled Flash Drive, But
Pros: while the label clearly reads 3.2, performance during data xfer does not go above ~ 46.0 MB, which is very disappointing. My machine has the 3.2 capability and using the USB SK Hynix Beetle 1TB blasts out at a steady 180.0 MB. The subject USB was on sale when I bought it, so it is kept with my other USB 3.0 flashes.
Overall Review: 3.2 generation in name only for what I received.
Good fan, strong & quiet
Pros: Mounting screws included and simple to install. Even has air flow direction and vertical up mounting indicators.
Cons: Excruciatingly slow delivery from N.J. to MD. No excuse for over 10 days delivery time.
Overall Review: Might be that this fan was on sale when I purchased it that delivery was too long to complete.
Great Expectation, but This Disk Failed
Pros: Same small size as my other WD Blue. Good packaging. Good guarantee.
Cons: Plugged it in, it was not recognized. Did not appear in bios nor in Windows. After confirming the slot on motherboard was operational by installing another known operational drive in same mother board slot, I again installed subject 1 TB Blue drive and again the disk was not recognized by op system although disk was warm to my touch.
Overall Review: After determining disk was a dud, I returned it and requested replacement. Too bad that waiting time to receive product was 5 days. return product another several days, and replacement shipment another several days. The shipment times are excruciatingly long and difficult to tolerate making me sort of regret not purchasing a brand other than Wester Digital.
Satisfied Purchase of Team MicroSDXC
Pros: I consider this purchase a good one. The chip works fine. I just am not certain of its longevity and the obsolescent engineering that went into it. Time will tell, but for now, the product works fine.
Cons: No cons.
Overall Review: As long as the price for same product is competitive in the fluctuating chip market, I recommend purchasing this product for data storage. I have not tried to run any program / application on it, and likely will not.
Sturdy and Real Fine Keyboard
I have been using Logitech's Solar keyboards for years. They are good, but tend to breakdown after much use and replacing the battery can be unsuccessful. This ARTECK keyboard seems to be much better in that its frame is sturdy and there are more of what appears to be the solar powering aspect windows. I would recommend this board even though it's made in the communist nation of China.
Good product, too slow delivery
If recept of product time not important, then doing business with this firm is fine. Chinese companies seem to be fine with getting their products to customers at a snail's pace.
K120 Wired Keyboard, a Classic
Just want to comment that the sale, delivery, and product were all in keeping with the original Newegg.com company's established fine sales. I suddenly needed to go back to a wired keyboard for a specific purpose. The Western Digital's Dashboard software creates a NVMe SSD program to sanitize, erase, or format the drive on a bootable USB that does not function using a wireless keyboard or mouse. So, in order to sanitize, erase, or format a NVMe SSD using that bootable software, one must have the old standard wired keyboard, and the Logitech K120 wired keyboard does the job.
