Smokin' Fast

WD Red Plus 1TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache 2.5 Inch - WD10JFCX
WD Red Plus 1TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache 2.5 Inch - WD10JFCX

Pros: Swapped out factory 750GB drive from my daughters new Acer laptop. Didn't record numbers but immediately saw quicker boot up times. Programs load faster. Very quiet. Laptop is holiday gift & downgraded to Windows 7 on it & it runs great.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I know in a about a year she will want a bigger HDD, hopefully can get a 2TB version at a good price then.

6 weeks after getting it: DEAD

Seagate BarraCuda ST4000DM004 4TB 5400 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drives Bare Drive - OEM

Pros: Worked good for 6 weeks & then died.

Cons: Bought it on 1/13/18 & in 6 weeks it bricked. No smell, no noise. Just completely died. I just started betting back to trusting Seagate but to quality issues before. No wonder other brands cost more. Their stuff is built better. What's that old saying? You get what you pay for.

Just got it.

WD Blue 4TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD40EZAZ

Pros: I just go it & it is running fine. Ran some tests on it & it is doing well.

Cons: I subtracted 1 star due to the post office near the warehouse sitting on it & then not updating shipping info. I had to speak to a NewEgg rep (Mona) wondering where my package was. It was day 13. Mona did a good job & within an hour, the new shipping information came up & it was out for delivery.

Overall Review: I ran out of space on my back-up drive so I will be using this as my new back-up. I trust WD far more that their next biggest competitor. I have a bunch of old WD drives that still work from 20 years ago. Only 1 from the competition. Their drives all die.

Very fast.

Pros: Sale Price 6 GB of Memory Very Fast Sale Price

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I realized I was still running 3rd generation computers. I decided to build a 9th generation using used & sale priced items. I went from a GTX-750ti with 2GB to this card. Wow. I am still doing initial testing on the computer but working great on my MSI B360 Gaming Plus MB with a 9600K CPU & Ballistix DDR-4/3200 16GB of RAM. I am using an older Liang-Li PC-66 case which used to overheat with the earlier Intel processors. With the newer technology & less power consumption, CPU & GPU are staying under 40C with a cheap CPU cooler. I would definitely recommend the EVGA 1660 card for light gaming & online videos.

Finally got my order.

Pros: Well made cables. Work fine.

Cons: Company shipped out via DHL from NYC within 24 hours. I live 120 miles away. Was sent out on 2/22/19 & DHL seemed to have forgotten about that packet. On 3/3/19 it was turned over to USPS who sent it to MD & then to my home in NEPA on 3/5/19.

Overall Review: Vendor good, shipping method bad.

Shop early for Christmas

ASUS Laptop K55 Series Intel Core i5 3rd Gen 3210M (2.50GHz) 4GB Memory 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 15.6" Windows 8 64-Bit K55A-HI5121E

Pros: Can't tell other than the features are nice & I love the styling of the unit.

Cons: Bought this as an early Christmas present. Good thing I did. I plugged it in & found the screen to be cracked. It was supposed to be refurbished & did find it unusual that there were no "refurbished" stickers on it. The RMA process is going well so far. When I went to pack it back up in the box it came in which was the manufacturer's box there was a sticker on the side of the box: "CONDITION: AS-IS". Unit was not refurbished. It was sold to NewEgg by the manufacturer in "as-is" condition & then sold to me. So let's see what the RMA brings.

Overall Review: Was upset about the broken screen but realized screens crack for multiple reasons. When I saw the "AS-IS" label on the box, I felt betrayed. If RMA doesn't go well, may stop shopping here for a few years like I have done with another popular site.

Vendor fast. Shippers, not so.

I love the product. Vendor did well. UPS shipped it to within 60 miles of my home & then sent it to a hub 130 miles away & then turned it over the USPS who sat on it for week. I will be using this repeated mode & it will be inconspicuous where I plan to put it. Highly recommend the product & the vendor. Not UPS & USPS.
