JDOB oddities.

Rosewill R2-JBOD - Aluminum 3.5" SATA I / II USB 2.0 Dual-Bay External Enclosure
Rosewill R2-JBOD - Aluminum 3.5" SATA I / II USB 2.0 Dual-Bay External Enclosure

Pros: I like these a lot, I took some tape and covered the lights so I could sleep at night instead of trying to count bytes. the fan on off switch is a nice touch.

Cons: The fans do not switch off when i PC puts the drive in power saving mode. and if you use JDOB, do not take the drives out of the R2 later. even if you take both drives out and put them into the same computer. Windows will not see the JDOB, nor will it see the two drives as having partition at all, you will be asked to format them. but as long as you don't screw with them you can just pop them back into the R2 and all should be well.

Overall Review: smarter power features would be nice, allow windows to fully power the device down when not in use.

Most Critical Review

this is a rebuilt PowerColor Fighter RX 6700

51RISC AMD Radeon RX 6700 CORE Gaming Graphics Card with 10GB 160-Bit GDDR6, AMD RDNA 2 Video card

Pros: price

Cons: notice the sub vender part of the gpuz screen shot blacked out, well that should have been a red flag. turns out these are built from recovered parts (in other words used) from PowerColor Fighter RX 6700's. for better or worse it's in my system now and running stable. for how long is anyone's guess. I just don't like being mis-lead into buying a "new" product made from used parts.

Overall Review: it's preforming to spec, although I fear pushing it too hard will make me find out why the parts it's made from were discarded.

Thanks for spending your R&D funds on proprietary copper cables

EVGA 600 BQ 110-BQ-0600-K1 BQ 80 Plus Bronze Semi Modular 600W Power Supply
EVGA 600 BQ 110-BQ-0600-K1 BQ 80 Plus Bronze Semi Modular 600W Power Supply

Overall Review: I ordered this to replace another from a different manufacturer. Aside from the name, the specs were very nearly identical. My thought process was; Great, all I need to do is unplug all the cables from the old psu (leaving the wires in place) slap in the new one, and plug back in the cables. Done deal since all the wires are physically sound, and they are just copper wires after all... Oh no, this company went out of its way to design COPPER WIRES that only work with their PSU's The way I see it, EVGA spent a bunch of time and money to ruin my day. Maybe instead of printing the warning on the psu in nice little print, make it a little more noticeable, and provide a little more warning, as I'm sure most sane people are going to look at that and go; Yeah okay you surely didn't go out of your way to make your copper wires proprietary

Solid buy

My goto 10/100 router

Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)
Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)

Pros: I personally own half a dozen of these. once flashed with DD-WRT I set them up as wireless clients to extend connection to areas of my home that get less than good wireless signal to my main router. basically use them as wireless/wired switches. I still own and use the first one i ever had and i have never had one fail/brick on me.

Cons: The antenna's are not your typical 1/4in size (like most wireless nic's) so unless you order after market antenna's with this in mind you aren't likely to have spare antenna's laying around.

Overall Review: wall mount brackets! come to think of it every linksys product that comes to mind could those built in mounting slots

TP-Link 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch | Plug and Play | Desktop or Wall-Mount | Plastic Case Ethernet Splitter | Fanless | Traffic Optimization | Unmanaged (TL-SG1008D)

Pros: These are not managed switches! if you just need to expand your network and maintain 1gb data rates, you can't go wrong with these. 8 1gb ports for less than 50 bucks.. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot are you waiting for!

Cons: none yet.

Fast shipping from China!

My item was very well packaged, came with all the extras -some screws which was no big deal. I was happy to get an IO plate. Also I have had items take longer to ship to me from a few states away than this took to get here from China. I would totally buy from these class acts again

Checkout riddled with errors

I paid for this item via paypal. I tried and tried to submit this order but was redirected to an error page every time after paypal redirected me back to newegg. I figured the order never went through and found another source. then much to my surprise I ended up getting one from you guys anyway even tho i never reached a confirmation page, and never received a confirmation email. Newegg has been my go to source for anything and everything tech related for years now. Sadly it seem you guys have grown faster than your QA and keep up and I have been forced to shop else where. again sadly. was a great run tho.

Awesome deals Awesome service!

goHardDrive has a great selection of drive at more than reasonable prices. but what stunned me more than all was the care taken in the shipping packaging. I ordered four drives, and i got a box with a fitted foam HDD holder. I almost want to order more drives just to get another one of these, I think they hold like 16 - 20 drives. Now i have 8TB more storage and a safe place to keep my retired drives.
