Sweet Cooler

Thermaltake A2376 Aluminum HDD Cooling Fan
Thermaltake A2376 Aluminum HDD Cooling Fan

Pros: This fan really pushes some sweet air. I've used it for two different HDs already and it even cools a problem HD (overheated in enclosure).

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you need a HD cooler, BUY THIS ONE!

Most Critical Review

3 Months and Out!

Western Digital Blue WD2500AAJS 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Blue WD2500AAJS 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Quiet drive, good price, never had a problem with WD drives before.

Cons: 3 months and it died. It appears to be a loose or broken connection inside the drive itself. Too bad, it hurts WD's rep, at least with me. Off to Seagate for a SATA drive.

Overall Review: Normally, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Western Digital hard drive to anyone. I would have to pause before I recommended one now. I understand that when you are mass producing THAT MANY hard drives, there is bound to be an issue or two on a few of them. It just sucks that it was one that I got and put into someone else's machine.

Pros: The SD card worked in my Droid X, then in my Galaxy S3. It worked for about a year and 4 months. Good Speed. Lifetime warranty.

Cons: Died and would not format and could not be read.

Overall Review: I have had a lot of success with Kingston SD cards.

Pros: VERY small and rock solid. The rubber membrane outside is great for taking any punishment and they are great for the price. NewEgg....Rocks, as always.

Cons: N/A
