Basic but good

Pros: twice as fast reading as hard drive low power light got it on sale
Cons: doesn't have a cache so less performance than SSD on average
Overall Review: Nothing bad to say about this. Was an easy install. If you have a performance machine I recommend that you get a SSD with cache and performance engineering. This is really just a HD replacement but a good one.
Just clicking noises

Pros: Price Quiet in operation MTBF double that of non-enterprise drives
Cons: appeared in drive management but would not initialize contacted HGST and they said that the drive was many years old and therefore out of warrantee.
Overall Review: I have since purchased a replacement drive that turned out to be this exact model (I thought it was an Hitachi but it was an HGST). It initialized without issue and I'm loading it now. So I don't have an issue with the drive as a product. It was listed as New on newegg but based on its manufactured date it was far outside the 3yr manufacturers warrantee. While I should have installed it immediately I had to back up the drive it replaced and that put it outside newegg's 30 day return policy. My issue is with Technodeals USA and HGST warrantee policies. I cannot reccomend this drive as the support for it is clearly unadequate. I can only hope that the same model drive I replaced it with will continue to work correctly.
Flawless from start to finish

Pros: wasn't a scam and they didn't cancel my order as has happened to many easy access to interior The wifi antenna were included everything except windows 11 was set up. That was an easy prompts to follow easy warrantee registration including a monitor was brilliant. 2T drive compared to most prebuilt offers of 1T
Cons: No internal 3.5 inch HD bays. I need over 10G storage long term. It might have another m2 slot but I need more and cheaper. Not quiet but this is a 5080 card pretty keyboard but keys could have been more responsive not as much documentation as I would have preferred. I'm going to have to hunt that down from the manufacturers. win 11 initially not activated but after I submitted a ticket it showed activated a day later. My ticket was never acknowledged.
Overall Review: After researching skytech on reddit, I had enough confidence to buy. Price was very good compared to other deals. Well packaged. Fast Delivery, good communication during that process. Most people would be able to navigate the set up. Everything has been running great. Starfield is running fast and looks fantastic. Would buy again but I've only had it a few weeks.
Almost perfect

Pros: Step by step instructions except for one state deductions that were not clear. . Sending in an amended return is an easy process that they facilitate
Cons: I had to contact the state tax dept to get those answers. Wish I didn't have to pay a separate fee to electronically submit my state tax return. Didn't identify the same deduction last year so I have to send in an amended return.
Overall Review: unless you are an accountant I recommend this kind of software.
So far so good

Pros: very easy to install has worked without issue has been quiet in operation
Cons: was a little difficult to get the power cable in but I managed
Overall Review: 12 g is a lot of storage but high def family movies can really eat it up. Was time for a major upgrade. The process of choosing was pretty difficult and I was expecting a slightly better price but I am satisfied that I got good value. Installation was typical and was without incident except that the power cable didn't want to slide in easily.
works fine once I upgraded to win 10

Pros: works great. quiet best choice if you have a i7 40xxx
Cons: no driver for win 8.1. not mentioned in ad. forced to upgrade to win 10. only 1 hdmi port (2 display port though).
Overall Review: would recommend to owners of older cpus so it doesn't just move the bottleneck. good price
