Seagate USB 3.0 Blue Backup + 1TB skuN82E16822178106
Pros: Was recognized immediately after hooking it up to USB 3.0 port on ASUS Sabertooth mobo, software on drive installed without problems on Win 7 64bit. Intuitive interface via Seagate Dashboard backup was setup easily and fully configurable as to a set or custom backup. Social networking backup support easy to setup as was cloud support also. Drive runs very quietly and file transfers are of moderate speed on my board and they do not use a lot of system resources while in operation. Which means you can backup files while you do other tasks without interference. Drive is USB 3.0 backwards compatible to USB 2.0 and is capable of other interface protocols ( Firewire 800, Thunderbolt) with proper adapters available from Seagate which is a huge plus for the user. Drive does not run hot after multiple file tranfers of 6GB from SATA 6gbs spindle drives or SATA 6gbs SSD drives or USB 3.0 bus transfers from other external drives. Transfer speeds vary as to what drive they are wrote to or from, average speed for all transfers were around 15-45 mbs when reading or writing to this drive.
Cons: Other interface cable adapters were not included with this packaging! Maybe to hold price down but they should be available in other retail drive packaging at higher cost. Seagate offers them for around 19.99 each plus shipping and tax where required. Other interfaces will not make the drive itself any faster but may decrease read or write times due to more data being presented to the drive for its use.
Overall Review: This drive is a nice size for its use and can be tucked into a pocket on your laptop bag easily .I have not checked pricing on the cloud storage I just let you know the feature is there and setup is easy on all software provided! Overall I like this drive and the included software for the average or even the power user it will get the job done! I haven’t used a Seagate drive in a very long time but this drive has changed my mind totally as I highly recommend it!!
Great Cooler
Pros: Works well, it is quiet and would install easily for some users except for interference with my video card in my MSI GD70-65 AMD FX motherboard
Cons: The ram attach brackets are really too thick ! I had to modify ( file down about 1.5 to 2 millimeters of metal ) one end of the aluminum bracket to get it to play nice with my Saphire 5870 as it was hard up against the back of the card. This of course has killed my warranty! Once again a great idea killed by lack of engineering knowledge of how the product will be used by an enthusiast who will be the sum total of who buys this product ! Zalman are you reading this??
Overall Review: They really do work well though keep my ram really cool just had to refine the fit and finish of the product change the screw style and fuss about Zalmans engineers overkill by putting a really thick piece of aluminum as the bottom holder!! LOL
Excellent dirve was easy to setup usine cloning software
Pros: I got it when it was onsale and it has so much storage space and is fast very fast
Cons: Didn't buy one sooner!!
Overall Review: I highly recommend this drive you just can't believe the drive performance till you experience!

LG 55UB8500
Pros: No Dead Pixels .4K resolution looks Great, Learing curve for setup and adjustment went pretty quick with a few bumps along the road, Pricing was Eggcellent took the gift card upgraded my receiver also!! TV looks Fantastic and the Smart Remote is great takes a little to get used to but works fine with all the WEBos apps on it and the web at your finger tips the world is yours!! LOL Have fun with this set it is well worth the time and money!!
Cons: None Really! I don't like the included stand though as soon as I figure out how I want to mount it ,I will Dispose of it!! LG Why Did You go away from stands where you could Swivel and Tilt the Television?? Why was ARC not put on all 4 HDMI Ports??
Overall Review: For the money this TV is absolutely Great!! I bought it knowing it has only 120hz refresh you pay another $400 to $500 dollars to get 240hz.YMMV on this I have had both it is a toss up! There is a lot of value for the money on the set buy yourself one I hope you can find it with the $220.00 gift card it makes it an even better value!
