Free stuff is cool
Pros: It was "free".
Cons: Had to buy the CPU to get it. Not really a con, more of a whine.
Overall Review: Have yet to use it.
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: After a couple of months running XP 64, this drive is acting very sluggish. It is actually much slower than my 7200 rpm Seagate Barracuda 500Gb in booting up. There is about a 7 second delay when clicking on a program before it starts up. I was hoping for better than HDD performance, but this is not the case. The one I use for storage is okay, but I may ditch both of these and go with a regular HDD as this is an older system (i.e. XP-64), running older programs, as the compatability/cost of SSD's with XP is doubtful (motherboard does not have SATAIII capability).
Overall Review: I have never had any issues with Seagate products until now. The drives act like a person that is just waking up.
Great Product
Pros: This thing is SO easy to use. Win10 instantly recognizes it. I use this to store files in external drives, as well as doing drive wipes. Sabrent knocked it out of the park. If it were any better, it might even surpass microwave popcorn.
Cons: nada
Overall Review: I would recommend this for occasional use. There are other units available for a more "24/7" level of activity. BUY it.
Interesting Case
Pros: I was surprised it was so light. Very well packaged. No cosmetic or structural defects. As the cable management was underwhelming, it did provide a challenge to find ways/routes for running the cables.
Cons: Cable management not good, no grommets. An extra inch in height would allow CPU power to snake over the top instead of internally in the case. Installing a Hyper 212 was a no go as it was too tall (mostly the MB placement of the socket). An extra 1/2 inch in width would enable better CPU cooler options. The side panel attachment screws were a bit dicey. Unable to place a second top fan (back most position).
Overall Review: For the price paid and the "features" it has, this case is a good value. I would recommend purchasing this case. I would also recommend NOT trying to exceed its capabilities. Rosewill made a good product and delivered as promised.
Great Sound Card
Pros: I needed something better than the onboard audio. This was it. Installation of card and software was a breeze. Creative Labs had been my go to for sound. This unit delivers. We shall see long term as well.
Cons: Not really a con. I wish the plug in ports were color coded.
Overall Review: I would buy again.
Great value
Pros: Colors seem more vibrant and sharper. no image "echoing".
Cons: none thusly
Overall Review: A good buy.
They delivered as they said they would
Corn Electronics delivered as promised. I would have given 5 eggs except for NewEggs' malfunction. When I clicked order for these items, the delivery mode was supposed to be from the United States. In some way, the order got bumped to China via Corn Electronics. Perhaps it was because they had the product at the time of purchase. This in no way reflects upon this seller. They gave timely updates, and delivered a superbly packaged, ahead of schedule transaction. When an immediate delivery is not required, give these guys a nod.
Never Again
It has been 26 days since the order was placed. No update in the tracking, still says it is packaging. I do realize it takes time to ship from China, it should NOT take this long. Orico told me there was a weather related delay, so what!! By this time there should be an indication the item is AT LEAST in transit. What little email communication (twice) I have received reveals an indifferent attitude towards the concept of customer service. They act like THEY are doing ME a favor by MY purchase of THEIR product. I had to contact NewEgg Customer Service to get Orico to contact me on this matter. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable. Words of wisdom: 1) NewEgg, you should have estimated shipping times from China, 2) Orico, you need to get off of the mat in terms of communication with your resellers and customers, 3) Avoid the hassle of items shipped from China by not buying them.
