Best Bang for Your Buck Upgrade

Intel X25-V 2.5" 40GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSA2MP040G2R5
Intel X25-V 2.5" 40GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSA2MP040G2R5

Pros: Very Quick. Win 7 boot time 7 secs. Everything is so much more responsive. Windows Performance rating 7.3 ( After firmware update ). Enough space for a full install of Win 7 Premium with updates , all system drivers , and 17 gigs to spare for future service packs and a few games or other apps.

Cons: Small capacity but for around a hundred bucks I don't consider this a con. Don't despair after initial install , That lackluster performance and Win Index rating of 5.9 Changes drastically for the better after the firmware flash. Warning: The speed of this drive will certainly spoil you.

Overall Review: Truly plug n' play if using Win 7. Only user action needed is firmware update to really get this puppy moving. Win 7 Identifies this as an SSD and will turn of auto defrag and optimize performance. Win Vista users will have to do a bit more tweaking.

Wish it had worked

OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK
OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK

Pros: Fast. Scored 7.9 on Windows 7 performance index when set to 1600 8-8-8-24 1.65 VT. as per spec.

Cons: After a lot of troubleshooting on a new Evga x58 SLI LE / I-7 920 build with BSOD's Memtest86 identified the problem. Not one but two bad sticks. Not a good ratio for quality control. Express ordered a tri channel set of Corsair Dominator and all is good now. Also interestingly enough , Memtest identifies these as PC-8500. I had seen this before on posts about this ram and manufactures reply was "misbadged". Hum.

Overall Review: Don't rely on Windows memory diagnostic. It didn't catch the errors. I have used OCZ memory for years and this is the 1st time it has left me Disappointed . Still happy with Newegg though!

Decent sounding economy ear buds

Pros: Good sound quality with my LG phone's DAC.

Cons: Cords. Lack of bass.

Overall Review: Bought these for the superior sound quality when using the output Jack of my phone. DAC does not work wireless. But using them makes me remember how cumbersome cords are. Worth the $7.99 I paid but wouldn't pay full price.

Well made and looks great

Pros: Easy to assemble. Looks good. Easy open magnetic door for tank access.

Overall Review: Have been looking for a fire pit table for a while only to find mostly negative reviews on almost all in the under $200 price range. This one however had great reviews. Bought it and glad I did. Looks beautiful in our gazebo.

Good sound quality

Velodyne 80-VLEVE SL vLeve On-Ear Headphones with Inline Mic & 3-Button Remote - Satin Silver
Velodyne 80-VLEVE SL vLeve On-Ear Headphones with Inline Mic & 3-Button Remote - Satin Silver

Pros: Sound quality is very good, especially at this price point ( Newegg flash sale @ under $10 ), lightweight, comfortable, at least for my head size, and fold up compactly. Removable cord. Premium packaging including a nice draw_tite bag.

Cons: No mic. Purchased this to use with my LG V10 phone ( Headphones allows the HD DAC to enable producing fantastic audio), and as a backup to my finicky Logitech G960 gaming headset. That won't be happening without a mic of course.

Overall Review: Good purchase. Considering the cost and ability to fold up along with the travel bag makes these a much better option for comfortable, quality sound over earbuds.

After a frustrating start , a very good phone.

Asus Zenfone 2 Unlocked Smart Phone, 5.5" Silver, 64GB Storage 4GB RAM, US Warranty
Asus Zenfone 2 Unlocked Smart Phone, 5.5" Silver, 64GB Storage 4GB RAM, US Warranty

Pros: Very Fast , Lightweight , Good Picture , Decent Camera , More than ample storage ( 64gb model )

Cons: Mine was one of the few with the voice assist inadvertently enabled. Makes it virtually impossible to run through the setup process since it partially disables the touchscreen. Had to do a factory reset ( hold power and volume up simultaneously to access menu ). Rebooted with the app off and after that setup was a breeze.

Overall Review: Almost sent this back with the frustration of trying to go through setup while tapping each key/icon/etc. multiple times. Should have been better quality control to keep these being shipped with the voice assist enabled as it was.
