This has been a bit of a journey.
Pros: Worked great out of the box
Cons: when we added more ram there was a problem
Overall Review: I first ordered this computer on 1/14/2022 it arrived via UPS within a week which was great. This was ordered for my stepson who does not have a credit card. We unboxed it, I am the technical person in the household after removing the expanding foam packing around the graphics card and putting the cardholder back into place, and making sure that all the connections were still tight, we plugged it in and turned it on. It booted up and into windows 10 great. After using it for a day or so Chris wanted more ram and a larger M.2 Drive. We ordered both items. I made sure we matched ram with what was already on the computer motherboard (it has 4 slots total). When it arrived, we installed it and the larger M.2 (just for the game library). When we turned it back on the computer went into a boot loop sequence. It had been working perfectly just before. As I said before we bought the same speed ram with the same CL same brand only difference was the week it was manufactured. So, we troubleshot took out the new ram and no problem computer booted up into windows then installed one new stick with two original, it booted up into windows. Shutdown and added 4th stick and boot loop. At that time, I figured there was a problem with the motherboard and called Newegg. The tech was very nice and suggested we take all the ram out and just put one in at a time to make sure we did not have a bad new stick. We did that they all tested out fine. I called again with the information, got a new tech guy this time and he ordered a new motherboard and sent it out to us. When the new MB arrived, we did all the necessary uninstall and install required to switch out MBs worst part about that is the front panel connections on the MB. We were confident that our problem was solved until we booted up and the same thing happened. So, I called again and this time the tech said he would just send out another new computer Ok great it got here in WA. Via next day air. We installed the new ram and the M.2 drive, and it booted up into windows just fine and has been working just fine since then. I feel I was listened to and treated quite well by the staff at Newegg I am sorry I dont recall their names but all three were pleasant to deal with.
Easy Install
Pros: 1T at a good price easy installation
Cons: When the graphics card is in there is just a small space to get hands in to install this drive/
Overall Review: A very good game storage answer.
Just a little better than the internal gpu on my CPU
Pros: got a 10 fps increase
Overall Review: It is better than the built-in GPU in the CPU but not by a lot. but these days you take what you can get.
