No DOA

Pros: Well lets see, aside from the obvious i purchased 4 of these drives at the same time and all of them are fast, and quiet. I will always buy a Retail pack if possible, the extra padding and warranty is worth it for piece of mind.
Cons: None with the drives, but Newegg did nothing to pad the drives. They were sent in the original 4 pack box they were shipped in, so the retail packaging was all the padding they had. I have no doubt that without the retail packaging there would have been at least one DOA as the boxes were not damage free. Packing on hard drives among other things is just unbelievable, someone needs to light a fire under the peope in the packaging department.
Overall Review: Well i first ran each of the drives through a Windows format and then a couple Western Digital Data Lifeguard tests and except for one drive that had a problem cable everything passed. After that i ran two pre-clear cycles in UnRAID on each drive and everything once again passed, so once i get everything pieced together they will be a nice addition to my new UnRAID server.
A little less than i expected

Pros: As usual, not DOA is a good place to start. $10.49 on sale is a pretty good deal for a not quite class 10 Micro SDHC card.
Cons: Well from other reviews i knew this card would most likely hover around the class 10 rating, but in my testing the transfer rate dipped below 9MB/s so, that's where 1 egg comes off.
Overall Review: I don't have a card reader so H2testw was run though the interface on my Samsung Captivate, now could this have made the results slower, very possible, and if i ever buy a card reader ill run the test again. For now all i know is what i see in front of me, overall not a bad deal, would i buy again... if its on sale i don't see why not if this fulfills my needs at the given price. Test finished without errors. 15185 MByte tested Writing speed: 8.96 MByte/s Reading speed: 18.5 MByte/s H2testw v1.4
Excellent PSU

Pros: Obviously repeating what other people have said, but it holds true... Modular, Gold rating, Quiet, 5 year warranty, got it on sale, hard to beat if all you need is 450W modular Gold PS.
Cons: Really the thumb screws should be black to match the PS, at least that's my opinion. I just used screws that came with my case and a power screwdriver to install it, so i didn't notice a threading issue
Overall Review: Excellent internals from "Super Flower". I'm running this in my file server, a bit of overkill really, but i could even use this PS as a backup for my main desktop. Re-purposed from an older main build Biostar A770 A2+ AMD Dual Core 5000+ Black Edition 2GB Wintec ddr2 800 Nvidia 210 Rosewill Gigabyte network card 6 hard drives spanning many years/manufactures
It Just Works

Pros: Well for starters it wasn't DOA, and that's always good. I managed to get a B drive so that was an added bonus as i didn't care otherwise. Big Pro and what i purchased this drive for is to burn the infamous MBIPG101 Memorex 8x DL DVDs (at 4x ofcourse)
Cons: Really, none... i suppose the only con is this is not a Blu-ray burner, but obviously i knew that.
Overall Review: There was really nothing wrong with my previous burner, an NEC ND-3540A drive, it simply could not burn the finicky Memorex DL media. I do notice the new drive is a little louder, but not a big deal to me. Finally, there was a copy of Nero 9 Essentials included with the Lite-On drive, not that ill use it, was simply surprised that it was included.
Noting to complain about

Pros: 16GB class 10 card for $10.50 (on sale ofcourse)... whats to complain about. I've run it twice though H2testw and received no errors. For those on the hunt for a budget class 10 card your search is over.
Cons: None atm, some people say this card has trouble reaching its class 10 rating but this was not a problem for me. Even if it only just touched class 10 i would buy another, its hard to argue with the price.
Overall Review: I use this with a Canon Powershot Elph 300HS and it works very well, 1080p video, not a problem. Warning: Only 15190 of 15191 MByte tested. Test finished without errors. Writing speed: 16.1 MByte/s Reading speed: 18.6 MByte/s H2testw v1.4
Arrived functional

Pros: Well it wasn't DOA and its not making any strange noises. Formatted without any issue after a few hours, ran the Hitachi fitness test and it passed with no error reported so whats not to be happy about. Of course at $55 the price was excellent for the space you get and Having SATA 6.0 available to use when i have the necessary hardware is nice.
Cons: Right out of the gate the drive health and fitness was down two bars each according to SpeedFan. I worry with the scattered DOA's but all i can do is keep an eye on it. At this time its not worth taking an egg off because the drive is functioning great *knock on wood*and i don't have a second drive to compare it too.
Overall Review: I only have it hooked up to SATA 3.0 so i'm not utilizing all the nice speed, but for my media purposes it works just fine. I wish Newegg would get away from that paper filler *stuff*, but the hard drive itself was in a separate smaller box secured with inserts, so it wasn't easily jostled.
