Fast Drive, Awesome!

Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Solid State Hybrid Drive -Bare Drive
Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Solid State Hybrid Drive -Bare Drive

Pros: Drives are fast and have lots of storage. The first one worked so well i got one for my second laptop. Decided to time befroe and after on the second laptop. This drive dropped my startup from 90 seconds to 50 seconds doing absolutely nothing else besides cloning the drive and installing it. My programs start faster, etc., etc.. Plus there is a 750GB of storage on my laptop. My other computer has an SSD in it and i can't say that it feels much faster.

Cons: None that i can think of.

Overall Review: Seagate makes good, reliable drives. I've used dozens of them without any problems. The only failure was my fault. The computer sat on the floor in a dusty room and got so clogged up there was no airflow and it overheated.

SENNHEISER Electronic corp. Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset  (VMX 100-T)
SENNHEISER Electronic corp. Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset (VMX 100-T)

Pros: On my end this headset sounds great. I've had several and this one definately sounds the best. It's also comfortable and easy to use. Just flip it open and it's on. However......

Cons: Using this headset, the other party has major echoing and excessive noise. It was to the point where people would tell me to call back later. I know it came from the headset, cause turning it off and using the handset stopped the echo and noise every time.

Junk! You get what you pay for.

Coboc CY-U3-AMicBMM-1.5-BL 1.5ft SuperSpeed 5Gbps USB 3.0 A Male to Micro B Male Cable,Gold Plated,Blue,M-M

Pros: cheap. looks nice.

Cons: cable didn't even last for a dozen uses before the connectors became intermittent. Even the slightest movement of the connector makes the devices turn on and off. devices work fine with other cables.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. looks like this was a waste of money. Newegg wants 8.50 for return shipping which more than the cost of the cable. Too bad Newegg doesn't stand behind the products it sells like other vendors.

NOT a PWM controller

6-Channel Fan Controller
6-Channel Fan Controller

Pros: Simple fan control. Works great with 3 wire fans with low to moderate CFM's.

Cons: This is NOT a PWM controller. Controller only varies the voltage to the main power wire. This 3 wire controller will not vary the speed on my PWM fan. It only turns the fan on or off.

Great cable

StarTech USB2HAUBY3 Black 3 ft USB Y Cable for External Hard Drive
StarTech USB2HAUBY3 Black 3 ft USB Y Cable for External Hard Drive

Pros: With double USB inputs, this cable puts out up to 1000ma for hard drives and to charge phones, etc. Most hard drives will run on single 500ma cable, providing the USB port puts out the full 500ma. But some will not operate properly or at full speed with single cable. And charging my battery pack or phone goes so much faster with this cable.

Cons: none so far.

Overall Review: New Egg delivery is awesome. Came by UPS in ONE day!

Fast

SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC128D/AM 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Desktop Upgrade Kit
SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC128D/AM 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Desktop Upgrade Kit

Pros: Fast drive. Replaced a 6 month old King.... SSD. The Samsung is noticably faster. Comes with power adapter and a locking SATA cable.

Cons: Can't think of anything bad about the drive itself. The mounting bracket only has side holes. Gotta get a different one if you need bottom mounts. Don't care much for the Norton Ghost it came with. Used Acr... instead.

Overall Review: Seeing that i did not use the mounting adapter or the software, I could have gotten away with a bare drive.
