Works - fast, not super-fast
Pros: I get 36-37 Mbit/sec on two outlets that are not on the same circuit. Ping time/lag is more consistent on this than on wifi. I get about 4ms ping with these, and 2-12 on wifi.
Cons: Just like wifi AC1200 seems to give only a fraction, same with all powerline stuff.
Overall Review: Great entry level device for the money.
Light, fast, and a great price
Pros: I was shocked to find such a nice gaming PC at this price. It is Feb 2022, so with the 12th gen CPUs out, it is 2 generations old, but processors don't get that much faster anymore.
Cons: The specs say the ram is DDR4-3200. It did come with 3200. But, it only runs at 2666. I don't see where to add XMP in the bios either.
Overall Review: yes. enable XMP 3200 in the bios.
Looks nice, unfortunately windows-only interface.
Pros: This is the V1 of the product. It is an awesome product.
Cons: But, V1 only has a windows configuration program.
Overall Review: V2 has a web-based config. This item is only a V1, and I don't see how to tell that. And, I don't see a V2 at NewEgg.
Handy dock
Pros: This is a nice little single drive USB adapter. I wanted to be able to connect up HD for backup and such, and this does it great. Supports 2.5" and 3.5" SATA. The power cord is plenty long. Fast shipping. No disk of drivers. Windows 7 found it and I could use it immediately.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: When inserting, make sure to insert it and not just sit it there. Sure the USB cord is a little short, but I have about 50 longer ones. Lots of things don't even come with USB cords anymore. Note, the USB cord is on the bottom of the box. At first, I thought that I didn't even get one. But, I found it.
FAAAST
Pros: Fast and Easy. I put this in my older, but high-performance laptop. It boots Windows 7 3x faster and loads programs almost instantly.
Cons: None. Windows Experience Index doesn't know how to rate SSD's highly.
Overall Review: I got this on sale with a rebate. It may not be the fastest SSD, but I doubt anyone would notice a difference. Great drive. I recommend it.
Perfect
Pros: Great network switch. I'm limited by disk speed on transfers at 60-70 MBytes/sec. It's small, quiet, cool. It is simple - it moves packets around. It has mounting screws - one of these days I'll mount my networking equipment to something and organize it.
Cons: None really. It has an autouplink port, so it's 8 ports total. Since it's autouplink, no crossover cable is needed. However, for those of us who used to use the uplink switch to turn off a port, it's a con.
