Fast hub

Sabrent 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches (HB-UM43)
Sabrent 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches (HB-UM43)

Pros: USB 3 is fast and works well with all USB drives and plug-ins. Nice indicator lights

Cons: I could do without the switches. They could come in handy if you are formatting some drives and you don't want to format the wrong one. They can be annoying sometimes when something is switched off and you think it is on.

Overall Review: good value for the money

Most Critical Review

try,try,try again!

NETGEAR WNDR4500 N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Open Source Router - IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
NETGEAR WNDR4500 N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Open Source Router - IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n

Pros: has lights

Cons: I was ready to do some serious networking with this thing. It worked great on my wired and wireless nas network. It starting flaking out at about two weeks. The ethernet ports started dropping out then all dropped out leaving me with no internet connection. I returned it to the store (not Newegg) and bought a Netgear R6300. Now we're talking! That one worked for about three weeks when it also flaked out and died. I have at least one port on that one that still works for the internet but NOTHING else. OK I learned my lesson. Never buy a Netgear anything again. I believe they both have the same chipset....

Overall Review: I thought with a name like Netgear this company would be long time makers of this sort of gear and the products would be solid--but noooooo So many products nowadays are just garbage--expensive garbage!

ORICO USB 3.0 PCI Express Card Hub Controller Adapter Card with 2 Rear USB 3.0 Hosts and Internal USB 3.0 with 15PIN Power Connector -Black

Pros: easy installation

Cons: It did not come with the SFF back mounting bracket but I modified the original part.

Overall Review: A good solution for a PC that does not have the USB3 capability. Mine has been work great so far.....

Don't Bother!

ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card
ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

Pros: good packing

Cons: I have two of these and neither one of them has a working optical output port. Having the optical port is the reason I bought them. One of the cards is not recognized by the pc at all. Too late now to get a refund since I didn't even use them before the warranty expired........

Overall Review: Would not recommend them-but I think these are discontinued anyway

Great Name!

SanDisk 64GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I / Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter, Speed Up to 80MB/s (SDSQUNC-064G-GN6MA)
SanDisk 64GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I / Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter, Speed Up to 80MB/s (SDSQUNC-064G-GN6MA)

Pros: Sandisk name for all it's worth--------

Cons: To be safe I thought I would buy a card with a proven good name like Sandisk-----but nooooooooo. My card went goofy on me. Right out of the box it had problems. I did manage to transfer about 1.3 gigs of info out of 13gigs. I could not format it even with Easeus. The data all turned to alien caractors.....I am sure Newegg will take care of me . That's why I buy from them!

Overall Review: sure---there are bound to be lemons but buyer be ware.....

Nice Flash Drive!

Corsair 32GB Voyager USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 200MB/s (CMFVY3A-32GB)
Corsair 32GB Voyager USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 200MB/s (CMFVY3A-32GB)

Pros: Drive is large enough for a lot of files=== Fast!=== good protective enclosure== great support from Corsair!

Cons: Be careful not to loose the cap!

Overall Review: I had been using the USB2.0 version of this for quite a while. The drive began to get flakey after much daily use but to my amazement it was still under warranty. After I contacted Corsair about replacement they sent me a new one. I received a 32gb USB3.0 flash drive! This drive works great in my adapter. It is fast as lightning. I transfer a lot of tv shows on it and it takes only a few seconds to load one-hour shows. I also have all my utility programs for fixing and setting up pc's on this drive. I feel very secure with this drive as it has proven reliable. I am always going to go with Corsair products from now on. One time they even sent me a new cap to replace my lost one for free!
