Have 3 Of These

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000KS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000KS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I keep seeing reviews of bad drives. Well...I don't know what happened to those who encountered problems, but I have bought 3 of these drives at different time intervals, and they do like ALL the WD drives have done in the past, WORK, and work great.

Cons: I need 2 more! ;-)

Overall Review: I have a Lian Li full tower case with plenty of cool air circulating throught this great case. Some have said these 500GB drives run hot. Maybe it's my case, but mine seem to run normally. Seem to run fairly fast as well. I've transferred 2.6 GB's from one drive to another in about 75 seconds. Not too bad. Bottom line on these Western Digital drives. I haven't run into "ANY" of the problems many have complained about concerning these drives. I LIKE em. These great drives do nothing but function exactly as advertised.

Works Great!

SanDisk SSD PLUS 2.5" 2TB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SDSSDA-2T00-G26
SanDisk SSD PLUS 2.5" 2TB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SDSSDA-2T00-G26

Pros: This is my 2nd SanDisk SSD. My 1st was a 480GB I bought back in 2015. It has over 50K hours behind it and still functions as it did new with nary a problem. I'm hoping this one holds up as well. Once I had the new SSD in it's drive bay, it took under 5 minutes to get it recognized and running.

Cons: To get the SSD free from it's packaging I had to use a razorblade to carefully cut the thick plastic surronding the drive. No big deal and took maybe 1 minute. I just hate that thick plastic.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this or any SanDisk SSD.

Works Great!

Inateck USB 3.0 to IDE SATA External Hard Drive Reader 2.5"/3.5" HDD SSD, with 12V/2A Power Supply, SA03001

Pros: I uploaded a video and it pretty much says it all. Product works. No issues and nothing else to buy to get it to work.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this Inateck IDE HDD reader.

Samsung Cell Phone Storage

SanDisk 256GB Ultra microSDXC A1 UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter, Speed Up to 100MB/s (SDSQUAR-256G-GN6MA)

Pros: Typical of every SanDisk I've ever purchased. Problem-free!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Bought this in early May, 2019 for my wife's Samsung cell phone. She likes to take videos & photos of our vacations and daily life so she can show her family who lives overseas. With 256GB, she can take all the vids and photos she wants and never worry about running empty.

Pros: Works perfectly as every Logitech keyboard I've purchased. All 3 of our computers have Logitech keyboards with zero failures. I bought this one around mid-Jan, 2017 and waited to see how well it held up before writing this review. Love it. Great KB.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: If you're looking for an inexpensive, basic, wired KB, look no further than this one.

2nd Crucial SSD Bought - A++

Crucial MX300 2.5" 275GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT275MX300SSD1
Crucial MX300 2.5" 275GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT275MX300SSD1

Pros: I bought a Crucial SSD a couple of years ago for my wife's Toshiba laptop and it's still running at Warp 10 with many thousands of trouble free hours behind it. A friend of mine has an HP desktop which started having problems booting and asked me for help. The HDD on his machine was ok and but I was going to have to do a reformat. I told him about SSD's and he asked if I could put one on his computer. I said sure. So, I ordered the Crucial and a copy of Windows 7 Pro x64, did the installation, and now he has an SSD for his boot and a 1 TB HHD for storage and a real copy of Windows. I waited a few months before I posted this to give those who may read this a more accurate review because you never know what will happen. The Crucial continues to run great. My friend is not a gamer. His computer is used for general and entertainment purposes.

Cons: The SSD, none!! The HP computer? My gosh, this was a $800 desktop. The wiring on the inside was pathetic. No cable management at all. The assemblers took no pride in their work.

Overall Review: Yes, I'd recommend this to others and that's the number one reason I ordered this for him. I didn't want him to be calling me and say, that SSD you ordered for me is junk. I'm a fan and a believer in the reliability of Crucial's SSD's.
