WD My Book 4TB USB 3.0/USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN

WD 4TB My Book Desktop External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN
WD 4TB My Book Desktop External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN

Pros: LARGE 4TB capacity, USB 3.0, transfer speeds, power saver (sleeps when not being accessed), portable, quiet, and prompt delivery (second day arrival) using FREE shipping! (Guess the logistics between their warehouse and my house were all aligned.)

Cons: Can't think of any...

Overall Review: I liked the first one so much I bought another! I'd transferred SSD to USB 3 at 170 mB/s originally... then I thought to try USB 3 to USB 3 and achieved 140 then 120 mB/s... pretty good I'd say! I have this hung off my bedroom PC and share with my LAN so watching content from it in my theatre room is a no brainer. The power saver makes me feel better about it not just spinning all day, and the huge capacity... well, everyone needs a couple of these on their HTPC, right! It came preloaded with WD applications which I've not looked into -- I just create a folder as my own ROOT and share it as a storage device. Twice it'd gone on sale for under $140 - who can stand passing that great deal!

Team Group CX2 2.5" 512GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253X6512G0C101
Team Group CX2 2.5" 512GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253X6512G0C101

Pros: CHEAP! Well, inexpensive and had good reviews... so I picked one up! Performs as a well as expected for a SATA III SSD reaching 439 / 417 MB/s on CrystalDiskMark.

Cons: In a "toaster" (open to my room) this 512 GB CX2 SSD drive is displaying 48 F on CrystalDiskInfo - it's not even installed in a case! What's with that? I have several HDDs (including one lying on my desktop, and a Kingston SSD as the C: drive) at 33 +/- 1 F and a WD SN750 512 GB NVMe in my Mid-Tower case at 43 F. Is this how an inexpensive Team SSDs operate - more like a NVMe than a SATA format device? As a sidenote, I also have a TEAML5Lite3D240G running at 40 F (with 504 / 338 MB/s) in another PC, so I'm not picking at Team, but maybe this CX2 series.

Overall Review: I don't know whether the elevated temps warrant its replacement as I plan to install it into an unventilated USB 3 portable external case.

Backlit Mini Wireless Keyboard With Touchpad Mouse Combo and Multimedia Keys for Android TV Box HTPC PS3 XBOX360 Smart Phone Tablet Mac Linux Windows OS,New Model Mini Keyboard Touchpad Mouse

Pros: SMALL, EASY TO HANDLE, RESPONSIVE

Cons: There seems to be NO POSITIVE reason to have the RF button ON this keyboard as it disconnects the 2.4 connection

Overall Review: This is an entirely new (yes, I'm LATE to the scene) remote keyboard/mouse for Home Theatre use!

Good product

ORICO 3 Ports USB3.0 HUB Splitter with External RJ45 10/100/1000 Gigabit Lan Port USB Network Adapter  for Surface Pro, Windows OS - Black
ORICO 3 Ports USB3.0 HUB Splitter with External RJ45 10/100/1000 Gigabit Lan Port USB Network Adapter for Surface Pro, Windows OS - Black

Pros: Provides 3 (2 additional) USB3 ports and a NET interface. Transfers from any USB3 HDD through the device to a SATA drive went fine in the 125 MBps range.

Cons: Even after loading the USB3 drivers and USB3 drivers for this device I found transferring across its ports would yield only 10 MBps.

Overall Review: As long as I don't need to transfer data between ports it works fine to establish additional USB3 ports.

Works great

Pros: Performs as advertised. Comes with tall & short case adapter.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I had a lightning strike to kill my on-board NET connection and PCI slot. This uses the PCIe slot and works fine!

Nice product, nice packaging!

ABC RBC 7 Battery
ABC RBC 7 Battery

Pros: As advertised... arrived quickly!

Cons: No prepaid return label for old battery... I don't think even APC is prepaying either so this isn't such a con, more a new industry standard.

Overall Review: I knew this is an ABC battery. I was buying a non-APC battery and took the risk. My last APC lasted 4 years so we'll see how this holds up. This battery arrived in a VERY NICE foam-fitted, rigid box, has the connector attached and simple instructions to change it, I'll not spend the $26 UPS wants for me to send it to recycle... MY LOCAL Lowe's, Home-Depot are recycle centers.

I wanted A lanyard...

I trust Newegg for my electronics purchases. I also TRUST Newegg to have reputable "sellers" on their website. I bought this tiny SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB as a reputable name brand device, the lanyard was not exactly FREE as I could have bought the same USB stick w/o it and saved a few bucks. Arrived as stated...

Great li'l enhancement for my Home Theatre

This thing is a wonder! I'd been using full-size wireless keyboards with a joy stick as the mouse control for YEARS now. They'd tucker out after several YEARS each and I'd be looking again. I can't say whether this will last but for the low price if it lasts two years I'd be satisfied. I had issue with FN-RF which required me to disconnect/reconnect the USB receiver and all was well. There's VERY LITTLE detail on here about its operation, setup, etc. however YouTube is your friend! There're videos on the EASYTONE as well the Rii which in most cases this works just like the Rii branded products.
