Pros: 4 TB - quite a lot of space; I'm not quite sure what to do with it all, so I installed it in our Synology NAS which we use for backups and network storage. Hot-installing worked great and the drive was detected immediately. I don't have an absolute measure of read/write times, but intranetwork-data transfer times to this drive vs. the WD Red drive also in use seem comparable. The NAS says it is running at about 26C (with a maximum temperature of 28 when it was formatting the drive).

Cons: Details page claims it comes with software to work on older systems, but it was just a bare drive and I don't see this software downloadable from Seagate's website. Beyond that, I have seen no problems so far.

Overall Review: It isn't noted on the details page, but this drive is 5900RPM, but with the cache size and platter density, it's probably comparable in speed to standard 7200RPM drives.

Pros: Dual-band card, fairly cheap. Small footprint and available with a half-height bracket for slim cases. Solid 2.4GHz connection

Cons: Has a hard time staying connected with 5GHz networks. It's not the router, because my notebook's dual-band Intel card works just fine at any time. Once it disconnects from the 5GHz, a restart is required to get it (maybe) functional again. The 2.4GHz connections have been solid though, even during the loss of 5GHz.

Overall Review: -16 GB (2x8GB) works out of the box at XMP speeds (3200 MHz) -Paired with a second kit (16 GB - 2x8GB) of the same model, but purchased a few months earlier. The older kit used Samsung chips, the newer kit uses SK Hynix. Haven't seen any issues from this mixing of kits, but also, not pushing the kits beyond their rated XMP settings. Just something to note for those thinking of doing something similar.

Pros: - Interfaces seem a little more polished compared to W10 - Cleaner start menu and notifications menu - All programs seem to be running fine and smoothly

Cons: - Annoying to install without an internet connection; had to look up how to bypass this since I couldn't find a 25' ethernet cable to hardwire the computer during installation (no wireless driver included in W11) - The taskbar combines programs and uses only small icons, which is kind of annoying. Allegedly will be fixed in coming Windows updates

Overall Review: I didn't install off this USB stick - I just used the packaging for the license. Best to download the latest version from MS and use the Media Creation Tool to install with the latest Windows build.

Pros: Not overly loud. Has played the games I've thrown at it to date. Overall just a solid mid-range card, especially if you can get it during one of the various sales, in the current environment of still elevated GPU prices. Also, no LEDs, which is nice for what I like in my builds.

Cons: Technically, this is a little wider than 2 slots. If you have a tight case or configuration, this may be an issue. Not sure if it was a Witcher 3 issue, Windows 10 issue, or my initial test install, but it was pretty stuttery in the Witcher 3 under Windows 10 in a PCIe 3 slot with a Skylake CPU, when the game was smooth as butter with my old R9 380X. It kind of went away after playing with some of the AMD control panel and game settings. I didn't really investigate it further, as I was gutting the computer a few days later anyway as part of a larger upgrade. I haven't seen the issue with the new system (Ryzen 5 5600, PCIe4.0 slot, Windows 11).

Overall Review: Only a con if you have a PCIe3 motherboard - the RX 6600 series has only 8 lanes for PCIe4, so there is a small performance hit if you use this in a PCIe3 slot. For reference, case this is installed in is a Corsair 250D mITX case with a good quality 550W PSU.

Pros: -Very cheap printer -Wireless -Prints quickly -Small footprint

Cons: Setup was very frustrating. The printer claims to be B/G/N compatible, but it's really only B/G compatible. I had to switch my 2.4GHz network to "B/G/N mixed mode" to get this printer to connect to the wireless network (it was originally in N-only mode). Overall, this won't hurt my 2.4GHz network since I keep the printer off 99% of the time, but something to consider if you plan on leaving it on all the time and have devices using a 2.4GHz network.

Overall Review: Probably not necessary, but in my router, I set the router to always assign the same IP address to the printer.
