Pros: On a 1080 monitor with gsync, it runs everything well, even with an i3-8100 CPU. Built this system for cheap for my grandson, he also uses an Oculus Rift S. He has no complaints and says that it outperforms all of his friends systems. Price/performance ratio is spot on, I highly recommend this card. I think you'd have to step up to a 2070 to notice much improvement over this card. Performs well. Reasonably quiet. Not flashy, blinky LED on it. (some might think this a con, not me)

Cons: No ray tracing? Really, I can't think of any cons for this card. Some might consider the fact it has no RGB lighting a con.

Overall Review: I would recommend this card to anyone asking. I would buy this again (in fact I'm strongly considering it right now). No problems with drivers, power consumption, fan noise or thermals. It just works, and works well.

Pros: Reasonable price.

Cons: Just thrown in a box with some foam peanuts and other heavy items. Maybe some bubble wrap would help keep the DOAs down?

Overall Review: Drives spins up, head clicks three times, drive spins down. Tried it in a working external enclosure, and directly inside my laptop. Other drives work in the laptop and the enclosures, so it's dead!

Pros: Makmkv said that the one I received was "LibreDrive enabled." It does have the actual "Ultra HD Blu-ray" logo on it. It hasn't had any problems with 4k or Blu-ray disks (I haven't tested DVDs). It gets 5.5x on average for Blu-rays.

Cons: It's flimsy. Buy a bigger internal drive if you need frequent disk changes. I have this as a "backup" UHD drive in case my full size starts giving me problems.

Overall Review: Reasonable price and performance, above average for compatibility.

Pros: Tested 2 in Windows, both with Seagate tools and third party (LONG tests). Tested both in one of my Synology NAS. Passed all tests and work well. Significantly faster than shucked consumer grade drives.

Cons: Warranty is from date of manufacture, the two I purchased thus were "missing" 3 months of warranty. You can contact Seagate and they will extend it, but that is a hassle. Had to upgrade firmware, it shipped 2 revisions behind what is on their website. Not a big deal, but plan on it. The Newegg packaging could be better, it leaves the drive slightly vulnerable on one side, but no biggie. Noisy drives, but you should expect that. Seeks are quite noticeable.

Overall Review: Nice fast drives. I have several of the 10TB Exos still running without errors after 3 years. When upgrading firmware (or testing the drives) don't bother with a USB enclosure (I tried 3 different ones, fortunately I have a system that is easy to install 2 SATA drives in without tools). The latest version of SeaTools under Windows will let you flash firmware, however I downloaded and used the Linux tool. You must have the model number (and maybe serial number?) to get access to the firmware. Just an extra hoop to jump through for whatever reason from Seagate. Formatted 4k for my Synology NAS (pretty sure that's what the firmware update was for, but I'm not 100% sure I'm remembering correctly). The shipping firmware worked fine in Windows with the standard 512e sector size. FYI, this review is for two of the 16TB X18 drives after 3 months of continuous use. Trouble free, and a good value at the time I write this. Update: The latest 4 drives came with the latest firmware already installed. So technically this review is for 6 of the X18 16TB drives.

Pros: Reasonable noise level (in my living room no less). Nice and fast (compared to consumer grade drives, or shucked drives). 8 months without any errors (24x7).

Cons: Newegg packaging could be improved, leaves drives slightly vulnerable to shocks on one side. But so far I've never received a bad drive from Newegg.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. I have lots of shucked WD drives, these WD Red Pro drives, and multiple Exos drives. For Plex it really doesn't matter, but the Exos and WD Red Pro drives have significantly faster transfer speed. Warranty is good, all drives passed extended tests in Windows and Synology DSM. I'm very satisfied with the drives and the purchase experience from Newegg.

Pros: B550M PRO-VDH WIFI motherboard by MSI has been stable. Included 550 watt power supply is rather "meh", but given no problems. 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (I used an Asus RTX 3060) 1x PCIe 4.0x4 M.2 (I used a 2tb WD 770) AM4 socket (probably a con now, but I used a Ryzen 5 5600) 4 memory slots (I used 2x8g G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series) I didn't have to do anything to install the CPU cooler, just clip it in (I used be quiet! PURE ROCK SLIM 2) All front panel connectors already wired correctly. Decent airflow.

Cons: The power supply is just "OK". WiFi is pretty lackluster "Supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual band (2.4GHz, 5GHz) up to 433 Mbps speed." (I use a gigabit wired connection)

Overall Review: Once you get over 60, hooking up those front panel connectors can be a real chore. I've been building PCs since 1981 (yes, actually worked in the IBM PC factory then). This made it so easy since all I had to do was insert the CPU, clip on the cooler and plug it in. Add the SSD, memory and video card and you have a pretty decent gaming system. Not high end, but really pretty decent. It's been very stable. Just search for "B550M PRO-VDH WIFI" to find drivers.

I will note that the barebones system arrived completely unscathed and was exactly as advertised.

Delivered quickly, and item was exactly as advertised. Great price too.

I had no problems.
