Pros: Reliable
Cons: ...
Overall Review: Purchased 11 drives (RAID and hot spare). Have run non stop for the last year in a Dell T620. No issues.
Have to wait and see

Pros: Appears operational
Cons: Incorrectly listed as new.
Overall Review: I am often paranoid when drives are offered at extremely low price and listed as 'new'. After installing into a PC and running CrystalDiskInfo against it, it was a new (edit: not) drive. Also, the intended purpose is for a RAID config and the card was recognized by my PERC H710P Just purchased several more since the first worked. EDIT. It appears the my suspicion is correct and that despite being listed as new, they are not. Checking the smart data for the following drives, the information has been zeroed out. A new drive should not show 0 hours of use/1 power on cycles since the manufacturer would have powered it on to test. When I initially checked the first drive, I had first connected it to the RAID controller, create a volume, tested, pulled it and then connect drive to a Windows PC to pull SMART info, so on the first drive it showed a few hours of use/power ons Checking Seagate warranty, they get kicked back saying contact your reseller. This would not happen with NEW drives in the reseller channel. The Date of Manufacture is around Nov 2020. Annoyingly, the Date of Manufacturer is not printed on the drive and you have to contact Seagate for them to pull the info based on the S/N record.
Final review

Pros: Lasted 11 years in continuous use (vmware ESX server for home use)
Cons: Did not last 12.....
Overall Review: I probably did not need this much power since the server only had a basic pci video card, but did have 6 hard drives and 6 fans with a mildly over clocked q6600 (no voltage increase).
Great value

Pros: Price basic features at a basic price.
Cons: LED cable could have been routed better
Overall Review: Installed two of these into an Antec 900 case with a Gigabyte 990FX main logic running ESX 5.1. One of these is connected to a PERC 6 raid card (4 SATA drives, RAID 5), the other is connected to the SATA ports on the mainboard supporting 5tb drives. No operational issues with either. Mounted this with the drives flush to the front of the case to leave more room (normally they are recessed in about 1/2 inch). Other reviews have complained that the connectors are on the wrong side (motherboard side) making it hard to reach the connectors once installed. The advantage to this is that the fans stick out the farthest. If those had been on the motherboard side, there would be a greater chance of hitting the main board. INSTALL NOTE: There is a cable for the LEDs that runs from the back of the unit to the front. This cable has some slack and can snag things on install/removal (tabs on the case drive slots). You can temporarily pull this cable into the enclosure to take up this slack (pull the trays).
Great display

Pros: Very nice image, have not located any dead pixels.
Cons: Received with bad LCD driver board
Overall Review: Very fast shipping. Most of it must be by air. Beat by several days the video card I ordered at the same time from Newegg that shipped from the west coast. The display arrived with an intermittent flicker. After a few weeks of emailing back and forth, they sent me two internal parts, LCD driver board (backlight) and a cable that ran from the display panel to the main processor board. These resolved the issue. The frustrating part of this process is the time zone issues. I live on the US east coast. Every email required an overnight or longer wait. Internally, the panel itself has an LG sticker on it. It has two little speakers, but I have not connected them.
Just in case

Pros: It's small, light, and appears to be very solid construction
Cons: arrived with a bent input lead
Overall Review: I purchased this for my car emergency kit. Tested it with a Craftsman 3/8 inch drill (ac powered, not rechargeable). The test was with the inverter connected to the car battery, engine off. The inverter comes inside it's own box with little packing. Newegg takes that box and packs it into there own (with appropriate packing). So the Newegg box showed up in good shape, but within the internal box, you can see where the leads dug into the cardboard. The pins are slightly bent, but this damage probably occurred on the trip from China. The casing of the inverter is metal, so it took a fair amount of force to bend these. The bend is not severe enough for me to return, and the product works, but it is worth noting.
Smooth transaction
No issues with purchase.
