Seagate Still Good

Seagate Desktop HDD ST1000DM003 1TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Drives tested out fine with no issues, no loud head parking, heat proceduced minimal, I see no reason not to continue buying from seagate.

Cons: No real cons, Warranty could be longer like they use to be.

Overall Review: Drives are a little on the light side, makes me think they wont last as long as their predecessors. Packing with some peanuts instead of just some brown paper would reduce the shock they go through with UPS, probably be less DOA units like the old days.

Acer 24" (23.8" Viewable) 100 Hz VA FHD Gaming Monitor AMD FreeSync 1920 x 1080 72% NTSC EK1 EK241Y Hbi
Acer 24" (23.8" Viewable) 100 Hz VA FHD Gaming Monitor AMD FreeSync 1920 x 1080 72% NTSC EK1 EK241Y Hbi

Pros: Nice monitor, light, easy to use.

Cons: Died 13 months after purchase. With little use, this was a test rig monitor, setup 15-20 times over the course of the year since purchase, maybe 100 days of total use in 13 months. And its dead, the control board for the HDMI seems to be shot, it comes on for a brief second shows a 3/4 garbled screen and then its done. Dont buy. Trying to reach out to Acer for the 3 year warranty, but we shall see how this works out.
