Speed to spare!

SAMSUNG EVO Plus 32GB microSDHC Memory Card Model MB-MC32G UHS-I/U1 Speed Up to 95MB/s
SAMSUNG EVO Plus 32GB microSDHC Memory Card Model MB-MC32G UHS-I/U1 Speed Up to 95MB/s

Pros: Genuine Samsung. This is one of the fastest Micro SD cards available. A full card write (32G) with HDD Raw Copy Tool for Windows took 15 minutes 12 seconds, or 35MB/s through a USB 3,0 adapter. (Cross-checked with stopwatch and calculator. Windows memory usage never got above 3GB total, so it's not from buffering.) That's much faster than Samsung's claimed 20MB/s write speed. Amazing!

Cons: Ones I received were marked for distribution in Korea, so warranty in the US is unlikely, but at this price who would bother filing a claim if it fails?

Overall Review: Ignore the incorrect speeds claimed in the heading, the Samsung values are listed under the Specifications tab. This is a great general purpose card for demanding uses in cameras, tablets, and Raspberry Pi. Recommended.

Great mouse

Logitech M525 2.4 GHz Wireless 5 Button Optical USB Scroll Mouse w/ Tilt Wheel
Logitech M525 2.4 GHz Wireless 5 Button Optical USB Scroll Mouse w/ Tilt Wheel

Pros: Uses two batteries for longer service life. Better feel than lighter mice of similar size. Tracks well on most surfaces. Fine step on scroll wheel for smoother scrolling. On/off switch to save battery during transport. Tilt wheel if I ever need horizontal scrolling

Cons: USB interface did not have latest Logitech firmware, but easy to download from website.

Overall Review: A great business mouse without the gaming features that can get in the way of productive work.

EnLabs CNU3AM2CF USB 3.0 Type A Male to USB 3.1 Type-C Female Adapter Converter Support Data Sync & Charging - Black

Pros: Works as expected. No hassle.

Cons: Haven't found any yet.

Overall Review: Somehow lost the adapter that came with a USB-C external drive. This one snapped on and worked perfectly the first time. I'm happy.

OK but not a Unifying product

Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard And Mouse Combo For Windows, 2.4 GHz Wireless, Compact Mouse, 8 Multimedia And Shortcut Keys, For PC, Laptop - Black
Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard And Mouse Combo For Windows, 2.4 GHz Wireless, Compact Mouse, 8 Multimedia And Shortcut Keys, For PC, Laptop - Black

Pros: Smaller footprint takes up less desk space. Power switches on keyboard and mouse saves batteries during transport.

Cons: Poor n-key rollover - easy to make typos. This is not a Logitech Unifying product, despite the mouse photo used.

Overall Review: Logitech makes two versions of the MK270 combo - one uses the Unifying protocol, the other uses the "Advanced" wireless protocol. They are not compatible. Based on the photos I bought this thinking it was Unifying and found out otherwise. Don't know why Logitech even has two protocols, but definitely shouldn't call both parts by the same MK270 model name. Even their support site offers downloads that don't work with the Advanced version.

YES! This is the one!

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX (AMD Ryzen Ready) 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) AMD Optimized Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2Z2666C16
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX (AMD Ryzen Ready) 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) AMD Optimized Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2Z2666C16

Pros: Low CAS latency means better performance than stock 2666 memory in AMD Ryzen motherboards at 1.2V lower power settings. At standard voltage and speed (required for the business computers iI'm installing) this memory runs faster than the factory-installed Samsung memory. Great for executives that want a little edge over the rest.

Cons: Looks the same as, and part number almost the same as Corsair's similarly designed Intel memory. Heat spreader needs to be a different color or pattern as they are as different as horses and zebras.

Overall Review: Took several tries to find memory that worked at least as good as the stock memory in my new AMD Ryzen workstations. Newegg Premier free shipping and returns helped a lot. Thanks Newegg!

Great product for select uses

Kaspersky Total Security 2018 - 3 Devices/1 Year [Key Card]
Kaspersky Total Security 2018 - 3 Devices/1 Year [Key Card]

Pros: Still a top scanning engine backed up by an established company. Catches malware that others miss. Seldom needs manual confirmation for updates, unlike several other good products I use. Much easier for regular users to work with. Firewall reacts to any change in the network setup, maintaining higher security.

Cons: Certain modules can be very intrusive and interfere with operation of add-on applications such as check deposit scanners and financial programs. Turning off the Smart Money module helps sometimes, otherwise a different anti-malware is needed. Firewall can be annoying when intentionally changing network setup.

Overall Review: The US Government has condemned this company for their own reasons. Therefore, using it in any area subject to Federal oversight such as healthcare or other regulated industries is problematic. I look elsewhere for solutions for those clients, but use Kaspersky on my personal systems.

Good deal on genuine product

I've had some difficulty getting the specific memory I need from another site, but this was the real thing, not a counterfeit or "almost the same" part number. Will buy again.

Quicker delivery than I expected.

Also a great deal on a reliable brand cable.

irregular shipping

Ordered one speaker set, then another in an accidentally duplicated order. One shipped in three days and the other shipped thirteen days after the order. Oddly it was the second order that shipped immediately; the first took nearly two weeks for them to process. Good item, though. Would buy again unless I needed it right away.
