Faster Than I expected It To Be

Pros: I bought this to clone my 4 year old hard drive. Over the years, it has been my experience that hard drive failures are the most common issue. I chose this SATA III drive over a M.2 NVMe drive because I wasn't sure if my ASUS H97M-E motherboard would boot without reformatting. This drive is much faster than my Seagate hard drive. The boot sequence is probably 4 times faster and everything else responds much quicker. Changing drives improved the computers performance better than doubling the RAM would have. Having said that, if I was going to do a new build, I would have chosen a M.2 NVMe drive because they use 4 PCI lanes instead of 1 SATA lane. But, for a retro-fit application this was well worth it.
Cons: My motherboard recognized the drive immediately. However, Windows 7 did not. This was not the fault of the SSD.
Overall Review: If you are looking to painlessly upgrade and add some longevity to your computer, this is about as straight forward as it gets.
Quality Control Was Asleep When This Came Down The Line

Pros: This is a relatively sturdy inexpensive case. The directions are good and the front panel cables are long enough to reach the far end of the box. There are plenty of screws for everything except the power supply.
Cons: The front panel is terrible. It has a piece of the chrome trim missing on the left side. The opening in the front panel for the optical drive is off center and too large. Because it is a gloss finish, it shows fingerprints and doesn't match the matte finish on any optical drives.
Overall Review: The metal parts of the case are all fine. I was expecting break out panels at this price level. But I don't know why the bothered to put one in the optical drive bay, since the bay above it was already open to accommodate the front panel wiring. I have purchased many Rosewill products over the years and this is the only one that has been a disappointment.
They are cheap, they work.

Pros: They are cheap, they work. The fact that they come in different colors is a plus. They arrived in 2 days via USPS.
Cons: USB 2 specs, but I knew that going in.
Overall Review: 4 gig is a useful size for a USB 2 drive. I was able to load my vacation videos on the drive and give it to my sister.
It had over an 80% charge when it arrived

Pros: This is the manufacturers branded battery. It had over an 80% charge when it arrived, so it hasn't been rotting on the shelf.
Cons: It wasn't cheap, but that's not the supplier's fault.
Overall Review: Changing these batteries out is a PIA because of the number of things that are plugged into the UPS.
It's cheap, it works

Pros: It was plug and play with my Lenovo Ideapad 1-i 82QD00DHUS.
Cons: Its shape means that it sticks out from the port quite a bit.
Overall Review: I didn't run a speed test, but web browsing was noticeably faster than using my WiFi.
Wouldn't talk to Nvidia Shield

Pros: See below....
Cons: See below....
Overall Review: I bought this to replace my antique AVerMedia C283s, which by the way still works over 15 years later. I tried to run my Nvidia Shield Pro output through this box. I got a picture with the ER330 in standby mode, but as soon as I booted it up, the screen went blank. Altering the boot sequence didn't work. I even installed an Orei UHDS-102C in line to no avail. I don't believe that the AVerMedia ER330 was defective, it just didn't want to play nice with the Shield.
The folks at Technology Galaxy were great, FedEx dropped the ball
First the ugly. My package showed up at my next door neighbor's house 4 days late. When I contacted Technology Galaxy, a real human replied within a few hours. They offered a refund or replacement, but before they could process the replacement order, my neighbor dropped off the package.
