Most Favorable Review

Needed the upgrade

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000927BOX
AMD Ryzen 5 5600 - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000927BOX

Pros: pros, It's a new release to update my 5 year old cpu and a good price with promo code. Really woke up my computer.

Cons: Cons, Not a one.

Overall Review: I needed to replace my first gen Ryzen 1300x cpu. Should be obvious to anyone, I am not a gamer. But I do like an adequate and responsive computer machine. I know that the am4 is winding down, but can still serve me well. The Ryzen 5600 has received some very good reviews from Tom's and GamersNexus and Paul of Hardware fame says it's the only one of recent releases that's worth a 'darn'. I am tickled pink (look up what that means kids) that I made the buy. Long overdue.

Hanging problem too.

Pros: Looks good. lots of sata ports

Cons: I've been experiencing the same "hanging/Freezes" from week one after installation. I'm running the G.skill F4-2400C15s-8GNT memory chip. With memory prices as they are, I can't experiment with a different brands, it may be less pricey investing in a different MB. What is the major flaw with this board? I've reset BIOS to default and will monitor...otherwise a new/different MB may be in the future. PS I actually convince Intel to replace my 545s SSD in an attempt to fix the hanging. You might imagine the hoops that entailed. RH

Out with Nvidia, in with Intel

Pros: Firstly, I'm a non-gamer. All I want is a display and trouble free use. The A380 gives that to me. I run a dual booting PC; Linux primarily and Windows 11 on another NVME. Fedora Linux fired up with no issues and the Win 11 installed drivers with no issues and all is good. Nothing super reported from the old Heaven and Valley benchmarkers, 1958 and 4500 respectively, but as said...not a big deal. And I got it on sale to boot.

Cons: None here.

Overall Review: Recommended. I'd go for the A580 if I were of the gamer inclination, but...

Upgrade 500GB to 1T

Pros: Had to take advantage of the lower price window with high prices coming. There are always the reviewers who complain of fails after a short time, but I nearly always suspect operator error. A reviewer says this has DRAM, but maybe I'm missing it in the specs.. Well how else can these speeds be got. Cloned a smaller drive with 'Clonezilla' to this 1T without a missed bit. Happy.

Overall Review: Good price, works just fine. We are spoiled.

Must have

ORICO Tool Free 2.5 inch SATA to USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure 5Gbps HDD Up to 6TB UASP SSD HDD Case with Auto Sleep
ORICO Tool Free 2.5 inch SATA to USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure 5Gbps HDD Up to 6TB UASP SSD HDD Case with Auto Sleep

Pros: Accommodates the old HDD that you replaced with an SSD and gives extra backup storage. Or, even use with SSD. Easy open.

Cons: Only drawback is a need to label with contents.

Overall Review: Yes, would recommend. And I don't understand people who complain in a review that the case is DOA and give 0 stars. Just file an RMA! and move on. Either operator error or inveterate troll.

Cloning galore

I cloned two smaller NVMes to larger ones with the enclosure and it worked beautifully. The C cable seems just fine.

excellent product, excellent service

I never had a package arrive, here in the great white North (D), so soon after order. And works great, as expected.

More

I got more than I ordered. I ordered a micro SD card capable of 80 megabits per second but the company sent me one capable of 96 megabits per second. It was definitely more than I ordered. A step up.
