Most Favorable Review

Seems to work well

APEVIA PST-01 Power Supply Tester
APEVIA PST-01 Power Supply Tester

Pros: It will tell you if the product is bad

Cons: Not sure of the accuracy of this device.

Overall Review: The tester will tell you if your Power Supply is good or bad, but it is not testing it under load. I tested a 250w supply that passed by the tester determination, but failed under the load used to run a system requiring a 200w supply, and eventually failed completely.

Most Critical Review

Burned a chip

ASUS A8V-MX 939 VIA K8M800 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS A8V-MX 939 VIA K8M800 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Easy install

Cons: This board burned up a chip right after owning it a year.

Old drives being sold as new.

WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX
WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX

Pros: None

Cons: Read below

Overall Review: Hard drive I purchased in 2019 was manufactured in 2017. Manufacturers warranty was expired before I ever even unwrapped it

BAD Speaker on receipt

Creative A220 2.1 Speakers
Creative A220 2.1 Speakers

Pros: NONE

Cons: Left makes little to no sound

Overall Review: Finally assembled my entire custom build within 34 days of receiving all equipment and the left speaker cannot even be heard at all. The rest of the equipment works

Disappointing

CORSAIR 512MB DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model VS512MB400
CORSAIR 512MB DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model VS512MB400

Pros: None

Cons: 4 separate sticks failed completely when installed separately, in pairs, or all together. These were being installed in a Sony Vaio VGC-RB50

Overall Review: Bought these sticks on the quality behind Corsairs name only to be disappointed in the outcome.

Drag on the system

Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB 3.5" External Hard Drive STAC1000100 Black
Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB 3.5" External Hard Drive STAC1000100 Black

Pros: Does it's job as programmed, good quality material as to be expected

Cons: Every system I have put this on (6 different ones now) it has put a severe drag on the rest of the system using the memeo software. No matter what the specs on the machine were. I had one client out of 6 not complain, he elected to not use memeo at all right from the start and back up when and what he wanted

Overall Review: Might explore a different option for any other externals I am requested to install.
