Works just fine, so far
Pros: Fast, quiet, relatively cool considering fluctuating ambient room temperatures in an HP Z400 WS case.
Cons: None evidenced, yet.
Overall Review: Pretty decent product IMHO.
Does the job
Pros: Fast, 3TB (2.7) of storage.
Cons: Runs very hot. Not a warm fuzzy (pun intended)
Overall Review: Placed this in a Dell PC to use for Acronis backups. It gets written to every night, about 150 GB of diffs. It came bundled with a HDD cooler, but the BTX format case made it not usable for this application. I had to have a fan blowing directly onto it to bring the temps down. Now placed in a cool server closet (68-70F ambient), I can still feel how hot it is. The temps cause me to wonder at the longevity of the drive.
At least an adequate window AC unit
Pros: Instructions for installation were easy enough. Cools a large room to 76 degreees (ambient) using the energy saver functions.
Cons: I had to use the remote to get it to correctly function as desired...ymmv.
Overall Review: My first window A/C unit installation, with the help of the instructions and a few videos.
Nice general use monitor
Pros: Cheap 27" LED monitor Easy to set-up Bright clear colors (compared to what I used previously, at least) Cool, doesn't put out much heat in an AC-challenged office Compared to what I was using, my eyestrain feels reduced
Cons: Not very adjustable. While not flimsy, the stand takes up some real estate. Not entirely sure about the warranty length.
Overall Review: When I bought it, I could have sworn it said there was a five year warranty. Now the description says four year. Hope I don't have to put it to the test.
Nice notebook
Pros: The notebook was exactly as described. Very clean, A-quality refurb.
Cons: Paid for one-day shipping (business day). Did not receive in one (business) day
Overall Review: Ordered (late) Wednesday night and paid extra for one business day shipping. CC didn't get charged until Thursday. Notebook didn't ship till Friday. Holiday weekend, so item not received until following Tuesday. I guess my expectation was at-fault.
I don't want to jinx it, but...
Pros: Very fast, very solid. Running four consumer grade 3TB drives in RAID10 via USB 3 connection.
Cons: Setup instructions. Included software didn't install on Windows 8, had to go to the website to download a newer version. Not a huge deal.
Overall Review: It does what I need it to do on a budget. It wasn't too hard to figure out how to set it up even with spotty instructions.
Good Newegg Marketplace seller
For me, they have always delivered high quality products in a very satisfactory amount of time.
YMMV
Others may have had a fine experience with this marketplace vendor. I did not. I've gone back to look to see if the listing states the items were refurb or new in box, but I cannot tell. The items I received were correct, but they had obviously been opened and returned to somebody, somewhere. Each Dell Docking station was covered in dust and did not have the protective plastic cover around the docking station. Each box had someone else's shipping sticker partially torn off, and was in varying states of unpack/re-pack. So far, the items appear to at least power on. I paid for faster shipping. I ordered on the 14th, and the items were not delivered until the 26th. I keep in mind the holiday, and the fact that fact that Newegg Marketplace vendors can take up to two business days to actually fulfill the order (or so I've been told by Newegg CS). In fairness, this may have been more UPS's fault than the vendor's. I don't know. I get equipment delivered to the address all the time for the past seven years, including UPS shipping; but they would not deliver until I created a UPS account, logged in, and verified that yes, I do indeed, want the items delivered to the address I provided.
Pretty good refurb
A good deal for a nice refurb model we were familiar with. Everything arrived sooner than expected. No issues experienced, so far. Decent alternative to new gear for its intended purpose.
