USB 3.0 hub/ panel 2 ports

HOT SALE USB 3.0 Internal Mainboard Front Panel Floppy Bay 2 Ports Hub
HOT SALE USB 3.0 Internal Mainboard Front Panel Floppy Bay 2 Ports Hub

Pros: Very surprised all metal construction not plastic very good quality. Runs at USB 3.0 speeds got a 200 meg speed out of a USB 3 stick

Cons: Non shipping was a bit slow direct from China packed well clean

Overall Review: Thought it was a bad unit as it locked up my comp at first boot but after reboot all is good I think my BIOS glitched on first boot is all trying to install it.

Most Critical Review

USB cable 3.0

Coboc CY-U3-AMicBMM-1.5-WH 1.5ft SuperSpeed 5Gbps USB 3.0  A Male to Micro B Male Cable,Gold Plated,White,M-M
Coboc CY-U3-AMicBMM-1.5-WH 1.5ft SuperSpeed 5Gbps USB 3.0 A Male to Micro B Male Cable,Gold Plated,White,M-M

Pros: Nothing low quality garbage I was looking for a shorter cable just incase my external drive had any problems with other computers with low voltage USB ports.

Cons: Drops signal constantly my original cable that's 3 feet doesn't drop signals and this is shorter??

Overall Review: This is the third such low quality cable from newegg that I have received I'm not buying another cable from them. Not worth the hassle of returning or RMA

poor performance wonky speed tests

Intel 760p Series M.2 2280 256GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 3D2 TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKKW256G8XT
Intel 760p Series M.2 2280 256GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 3D2 TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKKW256G8XT

Pros: better than old ssd

Cons: Poor performance wonky speed tests performed many speed tests in two different computers every test came out with different speed results most with poor Max Sequential Write results. Also crashed my computer performing the tests two times I reformatted it and had the best speed tests but with the second test preformed minutes later I received very poor speed numbers again

Overall Review: I do not recommend this ssd my SAMSUNG 970 EVO drive is a solid very fast ssd the intel .....NO I dont trust it.

Low grade SSD

Mushkin Enhanced ECO2 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDEC120GB
Mushkin Enhanced ECO2 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDEC120GB

Pros: It works for now ATTO speeds show good but 2 other tests show poor results

Cons: Slow for what they show and the biggest problem may be down the road as it tends to run hot that's unusual for an SSD so I decided to take it apart and what do you know it has a weird heat sink material that's rather thick between the case and the sandforce chip acting like a heat sink a very poor one at that so I'm guessing this thing has a short life

Overall Review: Kind of feel like we have been tricked by Mushkin and Newegg at the same time shame on both companies’

External antenna WIFI

TP-Link TL-ANT2408C 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Desktop Omni-directional Antenna
TP-Link TL-ANT2408C 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Desktop Omni-directional Antenna

Pros: Works great very sturdy and strong magnets improved my bars from 3 to 5 great that's what I wanted. I purchased two of them this works great better than a two port one that I had tried from another adapter. You can space them as needed to get better reception.

Cons: No cons

Overall Review: These are for 2.4 GHZ band not 5 GHZ so beware of that

Sorry VANTEC

VANTEC NST-216S3-BK Aluminum 2.5" Black SATA I/II/III USB 3.0 2.5" SATA 6 Gb/s to USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure - Black
VANTEC NST-216S3-BK Aluminum 2.5" Black SATA I/II/III USB 3.0 2.5" SATA 6 Gb/s to USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure - Black

Pros: Works great now On my first review I lambasted this product as very poor quality. Now I say this thing works as it should why the change I tried it on my second computer and I had no problems so I started thinking what could cause this problem well I will make it short turns out the problem was on my NEW motherboard it’s an ASUS sabertooth mark 2 the on board USB 3.0 header it has 2 of them one has problems I guess I switched to the second port for my ad on USB 3.0 Hub and NO more problems. Sorry VANTEC

Cons: I will say I think the construction of this thing is not the best I have owned a number of VANTEC products and this one is not as good as the others I have owned.

Overall Review: Disregard my first review Please
