Pros: 4 TB HDD for much less than they used to be. My laptop has a 1TB internal HDD in it and I filled that up pretty fast. I like to call myself a bit of a gamer but that 1 TB filled up fast. I gave this critter a look and decided to give it a try. I've had good luck with Seagate drives in the past but haven't had to tinker on or bump anything up in my computers for a year or two so I'm a bit rusty. I decided to slave out an external drive and just go with that rather than destroy my laptop to replace the hdd that came with it. The price was PERFECT (well, free would be perfect but the price was very good), delivery was within two weeks and it's simply all plug and play from there. I've been moving data from several thumb drives and from the laptop's main hdd onto this Seagate most of the day. It's quick to receive the info and I've had no qualms with it so far... but it's only been a bit over 12 hours since I received it. It's about the size of one of those "At A Glance" pocket address books (yeah, I still use one... habit), compact, sturdy (so far), black case with a diamond design, a blue power light and it comes with a ten inch (or thereabouts) USB cord that's used to supply the power and the info feed from the computer to the external drive. I've been cleaning off my laptop's main drive and moving things to this one for storage. That's basically all I'm going to use it for is storage and as a satellite drive that I'll load some non-critical, benign programs to. I did load a FPS game to it (one of my tests re: speed, response for most of the drives I've bought over the years) and I'm okay with the drives performance in a mid level FPS game, so far. Remember, I've only been using it for around 12 hrs so far. I'm pretty sure it's going to be okay but, I've been rudely surprised in the past. If I find any problems with it later I'll update my review or write a new one. There's no noise associated with the drive that I can tell, it's very quiet but then again, I'm a ten year wearer of hearing aids and still can't hear squat so don't take my word for that. My wife tells me it's quiet. I'm good to go with her ears report over mine. Overall, I'm happy with it even though I've only been using it for a bit over twelve hours now. Again, I'll get back on here and adjust this comment accordingly if I have any new pros or cons to attribute to the device. Newegg's fast delivery kind of caught me off guard. They're good to go with me. I didn't have to wait two weeks longer than the promised delivery date to get it like I've had to do with other sellers in the past and the product is exactly as it was described, simple to set up and was up and running in minutes after I got it out of the box. I'm still transferring files to it and playing a game or two just to challenge the device. Media works, plays fine from the files I've loaded onto it earlier. If I truly had a need I'd buy another one or a larger one, but I don't. This drive suits me fine, for now. I might buy a larger storage drive later. # >>>>>>>>>> 05/27/21 I STOPPED BACK BY TO ADJUST MY REVIEW IN THE "OVERALL REVIEW" SECTION BELOW AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF HARD USE. I'm still a fan... probably more-so. It's performing better than I expected. Next review will be a year from now, if something changes.

Cons: It's really too early to tell. I'll come back and update this if I have a problem. I can normally be able to gauge most computer related products I've reviewed in the past relatively early after bringing them up online. This one's seamless re: installation. It's free of surprises so far and I like the size and the overall solid build it seems to have. I'd throw some technical stuff out but I don't think it's necessary. This drive fits my needs. # >>>>>>>>> As of 05/27/2021 there's no negative changes to my purchase and use of this Seagate Portable Hard Drive 4TB HDD.

Overall Review: Though it's still a bit early in the drive's use I'm impressed with the drive, the speed of it, the 4tb. HDD storage space, the installation, the seller and the seller's customer care re: getting the drive to me prior to the expected delivery date. The price is right, the drive is quiet, aesthetic, compact and seemingly durable. But then again I've only had it for a handful of hours. If anything changes I'll adjust the comments. P.S. I tried to attach a photo of the drive connected to the laptop while I'm writing this but the phone's camera just won't cooperate. # >>>>>>>>>>> 05/27/2021 An update to the overall review (and the other parts of this review). The drive got a little hotter than I preferred when it was slaved out and sitting flat on the desktop. I have a pack of those little, clear glue-on "spacers" so I put one in each of the four corners on the bottom of the drive, raising it off of the desktop about a quarter of an inch rather than leaving it sit wholly on the desktop. The airflow underneath the enclosed drive after I put the spacers on each of the drives corners seems to have cured the heat problem tremendously. There's no fan involved, all's self enclosed in the drive but that little bit of space gained by the spacers seems to have done the trick. It's no longer heating up anything like it did shortly after I received it. I run it anywhere from 4-8 or more hours a day and have not had any problems. I've transferred my non-critical files to the drive and am even storing photos, running some games and accessing STEAM, ORIGIN, UPLAY/UBISOFT and other sites with little or no lag. I'm a fan of this drive. It was a great investment from my point of view. I'll be back another day if anything changes on my end.

Pros: I got 4.5 months out of the board. Small, compact. Plenty of USB ports ( 3 x 3.0 and 5 x 2.0), an HD Audio jack, an RJ-45 ethernet port, 1 x DVI-D and 1 x S-Sub (VGA) port.

Cons: It had all kinds of hiccups during that 4.5 months. It was the motherboard of a mid-level gaming computer I bought in mid October. I was playing BF 4 on it and noted I was getting some artifacting, ghosts, stutters and the occasional drop from the game while playing so I monitored the heat a bit more while playing and found it was heating up a little but not to any degree that should harm the board. I originally thought it didn't have enough fans for a mid level gamer so I put an additional fan (external) that blew on the computer and that seemed to have calmed it down... for a month. Finally, one day while I was playing a quick round or two it totally died on me. The onboard graphics (Radeon HD 8670D Graphics) evidently torched... I replaced it with a Sapphire toxic R9 270X PCIe GPU and bumped up the power supply with a Rosewill 850W but the motherboard would have nothing to do with it. It was done... toast. So, if you're getting it for a mid level gamer, don't. Luckily, the folks that I bought the computer from are doing an RMA for a new motherboard. They're standing behind their product. Also cons but they fall in line with the motherboard's compact size. Only three expansion slots- PCIe 2.0(x16) (running x16), PCIe 2.0(x1) slot and 1 PCI slot. No HDMI port and no wireless but I remedied the wireless with a simple fob purchase. I don't think they put too much thought in the board's layout. There's just doesn't seem to be enough room to add cooling peripherals, etc. It gets hot fast. I used the stock (300 watt) power supply for the first 3 months and was getting all kids of ghosts, etc. in BF4. I put an externally powered fan on the machine and installed the 850 watt power supply and it ran at about the same temperature... a bit less. I just don't think the board could handle the graphics that was stock on the board. If you're going to use this board for gaming then buy a separate gpu, imho.

Overall Review: I expect another ASRock board to come back my way via the computer company's RMA. I'll give that a go and see where it takes me. I have 7 more months on my warranty. All's good with the computer manufacturer so far.

Pros: My new laptop didn't have a cd/dvd drive in it so I bought this satellite drive to use. It's a great little drive, lightweight, compact, does the trick and responds fast for a satellite drive. It's R/RW and comes ready to hook up to the laptop and get the work done. Shipping was fast, price was right and it's durable.

Cons: It can get a little noisy if you're working on things in the wee hours of the morning or whatever. I don't seem to notice it but my wife did.

Overall Review: If you need a satellite DVD/CD external drive the yeah, go for it. Again, the price is right, the product's compact, fast, quiet and plug and play. I'd buy it again if I had the need.

Pros: I ordered two of these and was pleasantly surprised re: the sturdiness of them. They were a quick fix for a new coax cable I needed to make. If I need more I'll be back.

Cons: None that I can really think of. Simple coax connector stuff.

Overall Review: If you need to do some of your own cable builds or repairs these connectors will do the trick.

Pros: PROS: When I bought a gaming computer from iBuyPower I bought one with a 250W GPU knowing I had the Rosewill HIVE in my HP. I replaced the 250W PSU in the iBuyPower computer with this PSU and have not had ANY problems with it at all... and I game hard with that computer... (All online, multiplayer Battlefield franchise from BF 1942 through BF4. Titanfall, Crysis, SOF, etc.). I have yet to have any problems with this PSU.

Cons: None noted after 2 plus years of use other than what I noted below, and that's not really a "CON". It fit without modifying either the case or the PSU. CONS: If you want to call it a con maybe it would be the "fit". I had to struggle a little to get it seated properly but once it fell in it fit like a glove. The mounting screw holes lined up and the PSU is a solid fit.

Overall Review: INSTALL: Physically, it's a larger PSU so make sure it will fit in your computer case prior to purchasing. It comes with more than enough connections for my gamer and the HP and it was simple to install and connect. I had no issues installing it. OVERALL: I bought this PSU through Newegg over two years ago if I recall. I have big hands, arthritic fingers, little patience so this can be a challenge for me re: the confined spaces a computer has for me to work in. NO PROBLEMS here, I've installed this PSU in two different computers now. The first one, an HP pavilion, dual core, 16 gb RAM that I was using for everyday work AND the occasional gaming (BF BC2, BF 3). Unlike the stock 250 Watt PSU that came with the computer the Rosewill never overloaded and ran much quieter. It stayed cool and I never had any issues with the PSU or any loading up by the computer that I could attribute to the PSU. It's durable, I've never had any issues with it and it supplies the power needed to run the two computers I've installed it in with no issues whatsoever. If you're looking for a great, economical PSU I recommend you get this one.

Pros: I bought this to replace a 250gb drive in an HP Pavilion g series laptop. The laptop was given to me and the drive that came with it was fried so I replaced it with the HGST. It's been up and running for about three months with no glitches whatsoever. I've been playing some low-mid level games on it (BF, BF2142, Crysis, etc.) with some pretty good success. I bought an HP restore disk from the factory and have Windows 7 as the OS. So far, so good.

Cons: It was a bit skinny for the HP but once it was anchored it didn't seem to matter. That's really not a con. I had to dig deep to find a con. Maybe I could throw in the fact taht it didn't fit the protective sleeve that was on the drive I replaced (too thin for the sleeve) but I made the sleeve work. Although I could've just as well ordered another for it when I bought the drive.

Overall Review: If you're looking for a cheap (price), durable drive for your laptop I recommend you give it a try. It's in a hand-me-down, previously fried laptop that I got for free and after investing 100 dollars (this hard drive and the restore disk) and some change I have a very operable, very reliable and fun laptop. I highly recommend this drive.
