Rock Solid SSD. Reliable

HP S700 Pro 2.5" 256GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2AP98AA#ABL
HP S700 Pro 2.5" 256GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2AP98AA#ABL

Pros: Very reliable SSD. I've bought at least 25 here on Newegg. I prefer the S700 Pro 10x over the S700 which is very faulty. Once I figured out that the S700 was failing so much, I moved to the S700 Pro. Since then I have not had a single one fail over an 18 month period.

Cons: Reasonable speed, but not going to challenge the Samsung 860 in sustained performance.

Overall Review: If you have the need for a good priced, reliable SSD, the S700 Pro will not let you down. It is dramatically more reliable than the S700.

Most Critical Review

Excellent HDMI Transmitter - Receiver

IOGEAR Share Pro USB-C Wireless HD Video Transmitter and Receiver Kit GWHDKIT11C
IOGEAR Share Pro USB-C Wireless HD Video Transmitter and Receiver Kit GWHDKIT11C

Pros: This works perfectly for me. It shows an excellent image from my Lenovo Yoga to Epson Projector. Colors are excellent. Image is crisp and clear.

Cons: The transmitter started overheating about 3 weeks into using it. After this, I put a thin cloth on it and laid a small cooler ice block onto the cloth. Overheating fixed. No issues. A bit clumsy, but this has worked daily for 2 months. I make sure that the sweating of the cold block does not get to the transmitter (purpose of the cloth).

Overall Review: I do recommend this. It is better than expected other than the overheating. IOGear has an excellent reputation for these types of devices. I'm assuming I have a bad transmitter. I use it daily (school) and can't afford to send it in to get it replaced.

Reliable

CORSAIR CX-M Series CX450M 450W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular Power Supply, CP-9020101-NA

Pros: -Reliable -Actually rates at 450W -Modular -Reasonably priced

Cons: None unless you need more than 450W.

Overall Review: Corsair power supply. Very reliable. Actually capable of delivering the wattage that it promises. Modular PS is the way to go if you are using 450W or more.

Fastest SSD I buy

SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 1TB SATA III V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-76E1T0B/AM
SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 1TB SATA III V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-76E1T0B/AM

Pros: - Fast - Magician Software for Firmware updates - Samsung Reliability

Cons: It's SATA rather than NVMe.

Overall Review: Highly recommend Samsung SSDs, both the EVO and Pro series. These are very reliable. The number of EVO (840/850/860) drives I've purchased is well over a thousand.

Good Performance, Good Price

HP S700 2.5" 120GB SATA III 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2DP97AA#ABC
HP S700 2.5" 120GB SATA III 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2DP97AA#ABC

Pros: I've bought over 10 of these 120 SSDs. Good price point with good performance. I put them into laptops where very little storage is needed (i.e. surfing, Facebook and email). Bundled with an i5 2nd or 3rd gen and 4gb ram, these little guys make a machine that is a lot quicker than you expect. I've yet to have one fail. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a reliable alternative to a Samsung SSD.

Cons: They are only 120GB, but that's pretty obvious. 06-2019: Sold a lot of S700 and S700 Pro. S700 comes back with issues. S700 Pro does not. HP is good to replace the S700 and the rep knows us by name because we have replaced so many of them.
