Most Favorable Review

Looks great, works perfectly

Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock: Thunderbolt 4 Certified - 10 Ports in One - Dual 4K or Single 8K Video Output - Future-Proof & Backward-Compatible - RGB Lighting - Chroma
Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock: Thunderbolt 4 Certified - 10 Ports in One - Dual 4K or Single 8K Video Output - Future-Proof & Backward-Compatible - RGB Lighting - Chroma

Pros: -Matches other Razer stuff -RGB is fun to play with in the surprisingly good Razer Synapse app -Runs my 2 External 2K monitors, mouse and keyboard, plus has gigabit ethernet all with one USB connection -It charges my Blade 15 BUT (see below)

Cons: -It doesn't output quite enough power over the thunderbolt cable to charge my Blade 15 under very heavy load, but that's only if I'm playing a demanding game. Then it will slowly discharge. I just worry that it may not be good for the battery, so I use the normal AC adapter for the computer when I'm gaming -Razer logo doesn't light up

Overall Review: Comes with AC adapter cable and one thunderbolt cable. This listing doesn't actually say what's in the box, so there you go in case you were wondering.

Most Critical Review

Works, BUT

ADATA 128GB UV330 USB 3.1 Flash Drive (AUV330-128G-RBK)
ADATA 128GB UV330 USB 3.1 Flash Drive (AUV330-128G-RBK)

Pros: Has the correct amount of storage

Cons: Very, very slow write times for large files

Overall Review: I got this drive very cheap, but be warned! It has abysmal write speeds. I'm using it as a backup drive now, that's all it's really good for.

Perfect value

Pros: -Cheap -Just plug it in, and it works with 0 hassle

Cons: -None

Overall Review: I'll probably buy another one for my PC at work.

2.5Gbase-T Pcie Network Card Intel Chip I226-V 2.5G PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card Wired RJ45 LAN Adapter Converter for WINDOW 10 /11

Pros: -Works perfectly without any fuss, just popped it in, installed the drivers, and restarted. Windows recognized it as an Intel i226. -Black slot cover matches my black case, which is nice

Cons: none

Overall Review: I'm getting 2G fiber installed next month, so if I remember I'll update this review with a speed test. Another person said this too, but you'll have to download the "Intel Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack" from Intel's website. The card comes with a mini-sized DVD with an older version of the driver if that isn't an option for some reason. It also comes with a low profile bracket and screwdriver.

Cheap and easy but...

Pros: Really cheap and came with thermal pads, heat sinks, and screw risers which was nice. The little things matter.

Cons: I got this for my workstation, and it's not a big deal to me, but the slot that goes to the pci bus doesn't seem to work... At least on my office-issued Dell Optiplex 5040. I just put the second drive into the slot that connects to SATA and it was fine. This is good enough for me, but keep it in mind that it may not work depending on your motherboard.

Overall Review: I would buy it again, and make sure you get a B or B+M keyed drive if you want to use the SATA connected drive. I was lucky that the drive I had on hand was B+M. It's hard to beat this value!

Pros: AMD expo setup was easy and seamless. Your motherboard documentation should tell you how to set it up.

Overall Review: Great product for the price, cheap upgrade to keep my Ryzen 1700X / RX 590 build going for a little while longer.
