Most Favorable Review

Nice card, uses less power and seems faster then my old 1070gtx

ASRock Challenger Arc B580 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x8 ATX Graphics Card B580 CL 12GO
ASRock Challenger Arc B580 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x8 ATX Graphics Card B580 CL 12GO

Pros: Seems to use less power to go faster.

Cons: It didn't want to run some of the formats on my video recoding software.

Overall Review: The price is great, it's built well, it's faster then my old 1070gtx. I was recoding video captures to a smaller format and it doesn't seem to like HVEC with my software but it did OK with a different format and was very fast. My game plays very smoothly at 60fps but I think the frame rate is locked and I'm not sure hot to unlock it yet. I'll have to play with things and see how it works out but happy for the price paid. I figured out most of the issues causing this to not work with HEVC and now it's recoding much faster and actually working. You do have to enable the game bar or it will be a lot slower than it should be and made huge difference when I got it enabled. The 1070gtx is still faster at video recoding but the B580 is faster in my FPS game and I did have the video locked at 60hz and I fixed that too. Thinking as the drivers get updated and I learn more about how to properly setup this card it will just get better.

Most Critical Review

Seems to be OEM parts

Whirlpool W10435302 Bearing Kit
Whirlpool W10435302 Bearing Kit

Pros: OEM

Cons: Didn't last a long time

Overall Review: OK, I thought I had reviewed this kit already but here goes again. The shaft and bearing fit my Kenmore/whirlpool 28102 HE washer perfectly. I used the grease and sealer, let it sit 24 hours and tested it out. No leaks, quiet again except for the normal whir noise in spin. It ran fine from mid may 2019 till just recently when the bearings started making noise again but it still does not leak. It is out of warranty through the seller but it is possibly something got damaged on install or later on as the rubber round bearing seal is the only thing keeping the bearings from getting moisture in them. The kit I got fit better then a previous aftermarket complete kit I bought, that also immediately leaked upon install. I think you have to be extra careful how the seal is seated/sealed and make sure the surfaces are perfect but I did get 7-8 months rather than barely a month out of the first non OEM kit.

Excellent tax prep program.

Pros: I have used it forever, it just works and walks you through the process. It will import last years returns so you have most of the forms already filled out and you go through and update your numbers to this years. If you have all your pertinent tax documents you can probably do it in 10 or 20 minutes and have federal and state done and sent in.

Overall Review: I would recommend this program.

Great 4k security camera setup

Reolink RLK8-810B4-A 8CH 4K Security Camera System 4pcs 8MP Smart Person/Vehicle Detection Wired Outdoor PoE IP Cameras and 8CH 2TB HDD NVR for 24/7 Recording, Remote Access
Reolink RLK8-810B4-A 8CH 4K Security Camera System 4pcs 8MP Smart Person/Vehicle Detection Wired Outdoor PoE IP Cameras and 8CH 2TB HDD NVR for 24/7 Recording, Remote Access

Pros: Uses network cables to hook up all the cameras and powers them from the cable

Cons: You have to run the cables yourself.

Overall Review: Received this NVR POE security Camera setup recently to upgrade from my old 1080p security DVR set up. The video quality at full 4k resolution is very sharp and clear, I can read license plates clearly in the driveway. It can record audio as well which is handy and the person/vehicle detection pretty much works though it will get fooled occasionally. Has enough adjustments to get the motion sensing fine tuned. The video picture can easily be adjusted to get the video on screen looking the way you want. The software seems to be stable and works well though I'm still figuring out everything, it's a bit different than the old software I was using but I really like the way the video playback is setup and laid out to find the captures you need to watch. It basically has everything you need in the box to wire and mount the cameras, and will basically plug and play once you get the network cables run and mounted. I highly recommend this setup if you're looking for a really nice complete POE NVR setup for a reasonable price for the quality of everything you get. The cameras themselves are very well built and high quality. The hardest part was going under my house to run all the network cables to where they needed to be and your situation may be easier depending on how you want to do it. A awesome setup when on a good sale.

Cheap fairly large druve

HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 HUS724040ALE641 4TB 64MB Cache 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive
HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 HUS724040ALE641 4TB 64MB Cache 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive

Pros: Inexpensive, took a format and isn't running hot. Drive has had all data points cleared so probably has been tested and rebuilt if needed. Seems to be fast enough testing it in a USB 3 drive dock and seems to run quiet. Was packed nicely in a flat rate small box and arrived fairly quickly. Seems like a nice drive for the money.

Overall Review: I'd recommend it if you need cheap large storage.

Great Docking station/ bad power adapter - UPDATE

Wavlink USB 3.0 Dual Bay HDD/SSD Docking Station with UASP (6Gbps) for All SATA 2.5" 3.5" Hard Disk Offline Clone + One Button Backup Multitask External Storage Enclosure With USB3.0 to USB C Adapter

Pros: It works with the drive I tested it with

Cons: Power brick died right after I started using it.

Overall Review: It worked right out of the box as soon as I found a Normal USB and USB C cable to plug into it and my PC. However after about 10 minutes the power brick died so it no longer could be used. I tested it with my Fluke meter and no 12 volts at the barrel plug. Luckily I had a old monitor power brick that is 12 volt positive tip and 5 amps and it powered it up again fine and everything works now. I contacted them and we'll see what happens. For those of you saying your unit died very early on you might want to check the power brick adapter and make sure it is supplying 12 volts. I'll update if they take care of the power adapter for me. Update, they got back to me and offered to send out a replacement power brick as soon the holidays are over in China. Of course there now be a additional delay due to the Corona Virus but it's in the works.

They shipped it faster than I expected and beat the delivery estimate by quite a few days. The box it came in was perfect and kept everything safe.

I would recommend this seller to others. Everything was perfect and arrived quickly.

Had a problem, they are taking care of it.

Item arrived exactly when stated, packed well in a medium box. Power supply brick died, they are sending a new one after the Chinese holidays are over. The unit itself works fine as I had another one that safely powers it up.

Very good price on OEM parts

The OEM whirlpool tub shaft and bearing kit was exactly as described and went in my Kenmore 28102 washer without any issues. Parts came well packed in a reasonable amount of time considering standard free shipping . Was significantly cheaper then other OEM repair kits offered on the net. These are genuine Whirlpool parts, not the typical cheap Chinese ones out there so if you want original quality this is the kit to buy.
