WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - WD10EZRZ

Pros: Lower power consumption and 64MB cache are the main reasons I chose this drive. Speed is decent for a mechanical drive. Passmark rates it at 988 total, with seq read speeds exceeding that of an old Corsair Nova SSD I have.
Cons: No cons.
Overall Review: I would recommend this drive. It may not be quite as fast as the 7200 but it runs cool and quiet.
Lenovo V15 G4 15.6" FHD Laptop, Intel Core i5-13420H 16GB RAM

Pros: Nice laptop for normal activities and office work. The processor is fast and I've had no problems with connectivity or running applications that I regularly use.
Cons: I wish it had a lighted keyboard but knew it didn't when I bought it.
Overall Review: Bought this because my old laptop would not support Windows 11. I would purchase this laptop again but at my age I do wish I had opted for one with a lighted keyboard and maybe a larger display.
Acer Laptop Aspire 5 Intel Core i5-1335U 16GB LPDDR5 1 TB

Pros: Fairly easy setup, have used Windows 11 before on another computer so no learning curve. Surprisingly the 17.3" screen does make a difference, it's my favorite feature. Plenty of memory and big enough SSD for my needs. Arrived next day from Newegg.
Cons: Seems like occasionally the wireless will drop out. Needed a ton of updates during setup.
Overall Review: Have only had it for two weeks but I am pleased with this purchase. I use it mostly for office apps and browsing and it easily handles that kind of work. PCIe SSD is about four times faster (measured in Passmark) than SATA but not noticeably faster in real world usage. I would highly recommend this laptop for the average non-gaming user.
Samsung 870EVO 1TB SSD MZ-77E1T0B/AM

Pros: Easy to clone and install in my laptop. Had a 500GB 870 EVO and outgrew it so this was the logical choice. Never any problems with the smaller drive, will use it for backups rather than a thumb drive.
Overall Review: I would definitely recommend Samsung drives, never any problems
SAMSUNG 24X Internal DVD Writer SATA Model SH-224GB/RSBS - Overall Satisfied

Pros: Installed easily, Win10 found drivers for it on reboot. Typical noise level for an optical drive, nothing to complain about. I needed a CD/DVD writer and this one works well.
Cons: Flimsy tray compared to my older drives in another computer, but they're all that way now.
Overall Review: I would recommend this product to anyone still needing an optical drive.
Nice for the price

Pros: Arrived within 24 hours. Everything worked perfectly out of the box, but some (minor and customary) Windows issues. Everything was in excellent condition (just slight wear) but came with a new keyboard and mouse. I use this for a home office, and for that purpose this is a great machine. Win7 Pro-64 is a big plus as I want nothing to do with Win10.
Cons: Proprietary design of the power supply (only 320w) limits upgradability, and the screwless chassis, which requires special screws to slide additional hard drives or SSD into the case (4 extra were provided though).
Overall Review: If you're not planning to do major hardware upgrades then I would definitely recommend this.
Minisforum NAB7 Intel i7-12700H 512GB pciE4.0
Arrived within a week, good service from the seller. Packaging and shipping were good. Fairly impressed with this mini computer, set up for Win11 Home went smooth and it is pretty fast. I saw complaints about wireless speeds but have not had an issues myself. Would recommend this machine and Newegg to anyone looking for a similar product.
