Happily Surprised!!! Completely worth it!

KingDian 32GB 2.5" Sata2 Internal Solid State Drive SSD for Desktop/Laptop (S100 32GB)
KingDian 32GB 2.5" Sata2 Internal Solid State Drive SSD for Desktop/Laptop (S100 32GB)

Pros: Cost

Cons: Bad customer reviews

Overall Review: I've seen a lot of bad "reviews" on these KingDian SDDs based solely on the shipping time. I'm not sure if it's that I paid the extra $5 for the fast ship or if they are just shipping quicker in general but it didn't take overly long for me to get mine, considering this is coming from outside the US. The SSD I got is being used for a gaming laptop that will later become a M.A.M.E. mini cabinet. It's gotten a lot of test time being overwritten by various Operating Systems in an attempt to find the most proficient version for my project. After a few weeks of such overwrites and re-formats it's still going strong. Time will tell if it will continue to do so but so far it's absolutely been worth the investment. Not sure yet if I would install one for a system I planed to use extensively but I wouldn't hesitate to get another for an "extra" laptop or even if I needed another storage drive. Boot and copy times are what I would expect for SSD.

Most Critical Review

I Would Not Buy This Again.

80 Disc CD Holder DVD Case Storage Wallet VCD Organizer Leather Zipper Bag Black
80 Disc CD Holder DVD Case Storage Wallet VCD Organizer Leather Zipper Bag Black

Pros: It seems relatively durable.

Cons: The CD sleeves are thin and cheap. The Case is too small to comfortably hold 80 CDs.

Overall Review: Thankfully I will be using this Case to hold archived DATA Discs so I'm not overly concerned about the poor quality of this case. It is absolutely not suitable for everyday use and I would expect the sleeves to tear very easily if they are used often or without being careful when inserting or removing discs. As you can see from my Pics the sleeves are tight as well and the case itself needs to be closed with force if filled to capacity. Not sure how well the zipper will hold out in the long run.

Love 'em.

Redragon GS590 Wireless RGB Desktop Speakers, 2.0 PC Computer Stereo Speaker w/BT 5.0/AUX/USB Mode, Compact Size, Back Ambient RGB Backlight and Easy-Access in-line Control Box, USB Powered

Pros: Bluetooth Plus Aux Input.

Cons: Not exactly a "con", but there is no "plug" included just a USB connection. For me that was somewhat relevant.

Overall Review: Exactly what I needed. Sound is great for a product under $20. This is the only "Small" set of speakers with Bluetooth that are plug in and not rechargeable I have seen for this price. They work perfectly with the setup I've got going. A monitor without speakers, a PC, and a Chromecast. Easy to switch the speakers between the two. Line/Aux for the PC and switch to the Bluetooth for the Chromecast. The cool lighting is an extra little plus.

I Love This Case!!

Micro-ATX Tower with Air Flow,Micro-ATX & Itx PC Case, 2 x USB 2.0 and HD Audio (Green)
Micro-ATX Tower with Air Flow,Micro-ATX & Itx PC Case, 2 x USB 2.0 and HD Audio (Green)

Pros: Very light but sturdy. I've had cases over the years where the metal was just flimsy and sometimes cut so sharp that you could cut your fingers if you weren't careful. Not the situation at all with this case. Nicely tempered solid aluminium, without being heavy. Nice and Small. My Mini-ATX fit very snug in this case. It's perfect if that's what you're looking for like I was. I would guess it would also be a good option for an ITX board and in that case would have some ample room for cooling, etc.

Cons: It might be a little too tight. In the third and fourth pics I added you can see where I had to clip one side of my fan mount in order to make the power to the board fit properly. It's not a big problem and worked fine do to my board configuration. I also had a small PSU. If I needed to use a larger one it would make things a bit more snug and maybe diminish the airflow a bit.

Overall Review: I would definitely buy another one of these cases or recommend them to someone who needs a cheap, sturdy and small case. I would also suggest spending time working with your board to figure out the best way to set up whatever is going in the case. (fans, etc) In the last Picture you can see where I ran the front panel connectors under the board so that they are more secure if and when I need to add or change anything.

Not so fast...

Monoprice Charge & Sync USB Type-C to Type-C Cable - 1.5ft - Black, USB 2.0, Up to 5A/100W, For MacBook, Chromebook Pixel, Galaxy Note 7 - Wrap Series

Pros: The Cable is quite durable and the connectors fit securely.

Cons: VERY Slow. Data transfer using this Cable is extremely slow for whatever reason. I'm usually not one to worry too much about how fast files transfer. I used the exact same setup and transferred the exact same 4GB file using another cable. The other cable transfers about 7 times as fast. Still great for a charging plug, but why have a data cable that impedes the speed of your transfers?

Overall Review: I would not buy this cable again.

Quite Happy...so far.

ORICO Aluminum M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure , Tool-Free 10Gbps USB C Adapter, USB 3.2 M.2 NVMe Reader, External SSD Case Thunderbolt 3 Compatible, Supports 4TB 2230/2242/2260/2280 PCIe M-Key SSDs-PWM2-BK

Pros: Fast. Light. Durable. Secure. Worth the price.

Cons: Only minor issue is Windows detecting problems when there are none. I believe this is a Windows issue and not the enclosure as this can happen with other drives as well. Notably this seems to happen only after connecting to my Ubuntu laptop. It's fine when I use it exclusively on Windows systems (Win 11/10).

Overall Review: You can't beat $9.99 which is currently the price for the Black unit. Even at $19.99 I would most likely get this enclosure again if I was in need of another. I've had this unit for a little over a week. In that time I have used it to transfer 200-300 GB of data so far. The only issue being the one I mentioned above. The speed is nice and about what you would expect. Be aware that also varies with the speed of your SSD and the drive on your system (Desktop/laptop/Etc.). Regarding other reviews... After seeing mostly negative reviews here on Newegg I did a web search to get a more accurate and wider assessment of feedback for this enclosure. No Drivers? Of course not, this is an external storage device. As long as your OS recognizes this type of drive you should be able to connect to it. As an example, I cannot connect this devise to my Pixel 3 Cel Phone because it's not supported hardware but it connects to my Windows Desktop and Laptops, my Ubuntu Laptop and even my Galaxy Tab A (via OTG cable) with no need to install Drivers. NAS Storage issues? The first thing I would say is "does this issue have more to do with the Modem/Switch you are using and compatibility issues". If you are connecting this unit to a standard home network modem (Verizon/Xfinity/Cox/Spectrum/Etc.) via a USB cord there could be multiple reasons why you are having transfer issues. Using NAS storage on these types of devices works best using a fast Thumb Drive or an older HDD that has it's own power source. As well, if you are using a PC as your NAS it should be hard wired via Ethernet Cable to your router and you should be sharing folders on your System Drive to your network. Using any external connected device to the PC or trying to transfer via WiFi from the source will easily cause bottlenecking and disconnection issues. The Included USB-C Data Cable is working just fine for me. (...again with Windows/Android/Ubuntu)

Very happy!

Admittedly I was a little apprehensive ordering from a seller with a rating this low. Honestly I didn't notice their rating until after I put my order in. Rather than panic and cancel the order I figured I would ride it out. I'm very happy that I did. My desk arrived ridiculously fast and is great. The color is a little more "gunmetal grey" so it's a bit lighter than the pictures on the product page. It's sturdy enough for what you would expect for this kind of furniture. It's being used as a laptop desk which it's perfect for.

1 month and 2 days. 100% worth the wait.

I would have given them 5 Eggs, however I was not notified my item was coming from China due to "out of stock" issues rather than shipping from the US as expected until I contacted them after a few days of waiting for the order to be filled. They did maintain good communication regarding my order once contacted. Once I knew the item was coming from China I anticipated a long wait. The USB cable I needed was for a very specific project where the clearance needed to be very tight. Finding specifically what I was looking for was a little challenging. That is also a reason I was willing to wait patently for delivery. I'm very happy to say the cable is perfect and working great. I would suggest if you are under time constraints that you email them and ask if the item you want is currently in stock.

"Within 7-9 days" My Behind! Try 26 days after ordering.

After 14 days the package was still showing as not yet received by the USPS. After reviewing the Sellers feedback I decided to send them a message. Their excuse was "package was returned to the shipping carrier". Miraculously it shipped "again" the following day without any major delays. (11 days to ship). Not my idea of a good purchasing experience. Later Kentucky!
