4X Speed Problem

RiDATA 4.7GB 16X DVD+R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model DRD+4716-RDCB100
RiDATA 4.7GB 16X DVD+R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model DRD+4716-RDCB100

Pros: Burn quickly with good quality Inexpensive

Cons: Had to modify DVD writer firmware to get rated speed

Overall Review: When I first received these disks, they would only burn at 4X on my Benq 1620 writer (they burn fine at full speed in my NEC 3550). I determined that the media code (Ritek F16) was not explicitly supported in the writer's firmware. I modified the writer firmware, adding in the Ritek F16 media code. The disks now burn at full speed and give good quality burns.

Most Critical Review

I should have researched this better

MSI P7N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI P7N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, easy to assemble

Cons: Doesn't overclock well at all.

Overall Review: When my MSI P6N SLI motherboard died (Northbridge heatsink fell off and chip burned out), I hurriedly purchased the P7N SLI, thinking it would be similar to the P6N which was no longer available. With the P6N, I was running my Conroe E6750 (2.66GHz) @ 3.3GHz and it was very stable. With the same CPU & RAM, but now the P7N, I can't get above 2.8GHz without it crashing. While the board is fine, don't get this if you want to overclock.

Excellent Router

TP-Link Archer AX55 WiFi 6 AX3000 Smart WiFi Router - 802.11ax Wireless Router, Gigabit Internet Router, Dual Band, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, OneMesh Compatible
TP-Link Archer AX55 WiFi 6 AX3000 Smart WiFi Router - 802.11ax Wireless Router, Gigabit Internet Router, Dual Band, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, OneMesh Compatible

Pros: Easy Setup Comprehensive list of optional settings Good WiFi coverage USB 3 connector

Cons: Nothing other than slightly larger than router it replaced

Overall Review: My previous router was almost 5 years old and was starting to require power cycling every so often to keep it running properly. A couple of months ago I purchased a different router (Wavlink AC3200). While the router worked okay, it had very few optional settings. I needed a router that supported Address Reservation and Port Forwading. The TP-Link router supports all the features I need and provides good WiFi signal strength throughout my house, while providing speed that is limited only by my ISP (500Mbps).

Excellent NVMe SSD at a terrific price

MSI SPATIUM M450 M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
MSI SPATIUM M450 M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Decent capacity Fast

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought this NVMe SSD when it was on sale and had a rebate, so I purchased it for a very low price (assuming I get the rebate). I'm using the drive in an external NVMe enclosure, so I can't directly measure the read/write speed, but it seems quite fast. While it's too early to determine the reliability, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Great Drive

TOSHIBA N300 HDWG480XZSTA 8TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache 3.5" NAS Internal Hard Drive
TOSHIBA N300 HDWG480XZSTA 8TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache 3.5" NAS Internal Hard Drive

Pros: Fast Quiet

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have been using Toshiba drives for almost 10 years. I have several Toshiba 4TB N300 drives, and they have been working well and very reliable. One of my external drives failed recently (Samsung 2TB), so I bought this one. I replaced one of the internal 4TB drives with this one and moved the 4TB drive to the external. Everything is working great. The new 8TB drive is very quiet and very fast.

Reasonable Speed, Excellent Price

Silicon Power 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 SSD (SU002TBP34A60M28SN)
Silicon Power 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 SSD (SU002TBP34A60M28SN)

Pros: Excellent price/TB. Reasonably fast. Good warranty.

Cons: The drive seems to run a little on the warm side. I noticed when cloning the old drive to the new one (new one in an external enclosure), the enclosure was quite warm to the touch. Now that the drive is installed in the laptop (Dell Latitude 5280), the drive is running 47C just idling. The max operating temperature is 70C, so it's not in danger, however just warmer than I would like to see.

Overall Review: I've been wanting to increase the storage space in my laptop. I previously had a 1TB NVMe SSD, and when I saw this 2TB NVMe SSD on sale for a good price, I couldn't resist. Overall, I'm pleased with the drive. It has a lot more storage space, was easy to install and setup, and is reasonably fast. While not quite as fast as the WD Black 1TB drive it replaced (I knew it wouldn't be), it's very good for the price.

Good NVMe SSD at an attractive price

I had another brand 2TB NVMe SSD in my laptop. When I saw this go on sale, I decided to purchase it, and I'm glad I did. This drive is noticeably quicker than the other brand drive, and in a benchmark, overall it's about 50% better than the other drive.. No complaints so far.

Overall Good Seller

I ordered a Wavlink wireless router and it came in a reasonable time and was well packaged. Unfortunately, the router didn't have the features I needed (no way to know this without trying it). The return process was super simple. I contacted Newegg and they sent me a return shipping label (free return shipping). I packed the router in the original packing and dropped it off at the nearest UPS store.

Great Experience, as usual

I've been purchasing most of my computing components from Newegg for over 20 years. I've always had a good experience using them. They have a wide variety of merchandise at fair prices, with good shipping and return policies. Their prices are hard to beat, especially their daily Shell Shockers.
