Well-made and truly tool-less enclosure
Pros: Tools are not needed to add/remove the drive, neither to pope or close the case USB 3 connector comes with USB-C and USB-A adapter - convenient. Light-weight and solid metal case.
Cons: Did not work with the older Kingston AHCI SSD (It's not SATA and not PCI-E, though M-key compatible and works on multiple motherboards). However, not many enclosures do.
Overall Review: Nice and compact enclosure. Have not used it under load yet, so cannot comment on SSD temperature when intense I/O takes place. Otherwise, pleasant to handle and easy to use.
Couple of useful free utilities only
Pros: Free Nero 2021 standard Free Luminar editor
Cons: Other subscription-based trial versions are useless
Overall Review: Free with Intel CPU purchase - I would use Nero and maybe Luminar - the rest are useless
Great for a business-oriented work
Pros: Compact Quiet Drivers are frequently updated Up to 4 displays supported Does not draw much power compared to NVIDIA or AMD cards
Cons: Only one HDMI connector. Other three are Display Port
Overall Review: Old video card bit the dust, needed an economical but contemporary replacement. Was looking at NVIDIA 3050 or 4060 cards, however, this Intel card had been much more cost-effective. No issues with either Linux or Windows 11. Have not used it for any gaming. Only 550W PSU used - did not need a new PSU - major plus.
A very good mid-tier PCI-E 4x4 drive
Pros: Runs cool Good performance, better with the Solidigm driver installed Budget price Good warranty
Cons: Mid-tier drive
Overall Review: Reliable, easy to work with, good price/performance. Solidigm driver does provide improvements in performance.
Excellent workmanship and very compact
Pros: Solid construction. Compact and tidy. All needed hardware included with small screws and nuts in duplicate. Includes a heat pad for the SSD. Aluminum case for better cooling.
Cons: Odd SSD mounting.
Overall Review: Overall, a pretty good enclosure. Very compact and pleasing to handle. Removed 1 egg due to the odd SSD mount design: SSD does not stay fixed when tightened to the nut, but allows some vertical play. Wrapped a single loop of a plastic twisty tie between the board and SSD to prevent vertical movement - possibly not necessary as it's all inside the enclosure, and may not matter in the end, but I wanted the drive to stay fixed.
Good price, excellent device
Pros: BT connection is stable. Buttons and the wheel are very smooth and quiet. Great fit and fill in my hand. Has a physical off switch to conserve the battery when not used for prolonged time. Battery life is (supposed to be) great - have not owned long enough to judge.
Cons: Wheel does not tilt - no horizontal scrolling with it.
Overall Review: Loved this mouse. Replaced my failing Adesso BT mouse without any issues. Excellent purchase, especially, when on sale. Also own M585 mouse, which has the tilting wheel.
Powers electronics as a power supply should - no fuss
Relatively flat, additional USB-A port is convenient when charging or powering a laptop. 4 eggs due to the relatively wide footprint - bigger than the original PSU that came with the laptop and quite a bit bigger than comparable GAN PSUs.
Maiwo products are usually cost-effective
No issues with the seller's products or their delivery. Purchased several items from them over the last 4 years or so. Good seller.
Works as expected
Can charge 3 devices at once Has charging indicator lights Comes with the AC block - no hunting for a compatible one needed Compact Watch charging panel can be detached.
