Nice big drive, works, a little loud

Western Digital Ultrastar 12TB DC HC520 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Data Center Internal Hard Drive - 0F30146
Western Digital Ultrastar 12TB DC HC520 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Data Center Internal Hard Drive - 0F30146

Pros: I guess I got a good one, no problems (only been a couple months) Note this drive does not have the Power Disable Feature, so it works in an external enclosure. I put it in this one, even though it says up to 8 TB, it works great, both USB3 and eSATA work: Rosewill RX-358 U3C ( https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rx-358-u3c-blk/p/N82E16817182247 )

Cons: As others have written, this drive is pretty loud. It would be annoying, even obnoxious, if it were near my desk. But I put it in an enclosure and use as a backup drive, only connecting occasionally. This is really a bulk server drive so if you want quiet don't buy this one.

Overall Review: Fine drive, don't buy if you want quiet.

Good microphone for the price

Pros: Works with Linux Good audio quality Don't need to be that close. I'm using for video chats with the microphone setup offscreen

Cons: The stand is flimsy and low quality

Overall Review: Yes, I recommend

Works great in Linux with in-kernel driver

Really like this monitor

ViewSonic VP3481 34" WQHD 3440 x 1440 100Hz DisplayPort 2xHDMI USB 3.1 Type-C USB 3.1 Hub HDR10 14-bit 3D LUT and Color Calibration for Video and Graphics Anti-Glare Backlit LED Curved Monitor

Pros: Very nice display The one I got has no bad pixels Bright and colorful Lot's of real estate Glad I got the curved one

Cons: Has been a bit of an adjustment to work with the ultrawide aspect. I have a laptop plugged in to this monitor. When I use the laptop screen I make all windows full screen. Then, when switching to the monitor, I have to unmaximize windows and resize them. Not the end of the world and I've gotten used to it, but sometimes I think maybe it would have made more sense to just setup two or three standard monitors instead.

Overall Review: I'm basically enjoying this monitor for the most part

Great enclosure, fan is pretty quiet

Rosewill RX-358 U3C BLK External 3.5" Hard Drive Enclosure to USB 3.0/eSATA, Aluminum & Plastic, Built-in Cooling Fan and Fan Switch, Support 3.5" SATA III/II/I Hard Drive up to 8TB and UASP Function

Pros: Can hear the fan but does not bother me on my desk I put this 12 TB drive in here and it works fine, both SATA and eSATA: Western Digital Ultrastar 12TB DC HC520 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Data Center Internal Hard Drive - 0F30146 ( https://www.newegg.com/wd-ultrastar-dc-hc520-0f30146-12tb/p/N82E16822234361?Item=9SIA2W07KC6342 ) Note this drive does NOT have the Power Disable Feature so it works in here.

Cons: Enclosure is a little larger than most, to accommodate the fan I guess. It doesn't bother me.

Overall Review: Great

Company handled return very well

HGST Ultrastar DC HC520 12TB SAS 12Gb/s 7200RPM 4Kn ISE 3.5" Enterprise Internal Hard Drive - HUH721212AL4200

Pros: Stupid me, I was half paying attention and ordered SAS when I need SATA. The company very graciously let me return it. 5 starts for the company, I don't know about the drive.

Overall Review: Good company
