Most Favorable Review

2x faster than the Samsung 840 it replaced

SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 500GB SATA III V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-76E500B/AM
SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 500GB SATA III V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-76E500B/AM

Pros: much faster sequential than the little 120Gig it replaced The Samsung Data Migration tool was great, I put the new drive in a USB 3.0 external case that I have, pulled up the Samsung tool, it recognized the driver immediately and pressed the button to copy. I then took out the old drive, put in the new driver to the same location and cables, done! It skips the swap file, etc. so it booted right up.

Cons: I'm happy

Overall Review: I always run the Samsung Magician to optimize the drive and keep an eye on it.

Most Critical Review

Worked for 4 days, then horizontal lines appeared

Acer ED347CKR bmidphzx 34" UW-QHD 3440 x 1440 100Hz HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI AMD FreeSync Built-in Speakers USB Hub UltraWide LED Backlit Curved Gaming Monitor
Acer ED347CKR bmidphzx 34" UW-QHD 3440 x 1440 100Hz HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI AMD FreeSync Built-in Speakers USB Hub UltraWide LED Backlit Curved Gaming Monitor

Pros: Worked great for 4 days. Drivers worked fine, maximum native resolution, etc.

Cons: after 4 days the monitor started showing horizontal lines. They looked like sync issues. I tried different frequencies and resolutions. You could even see the lines when the monitor was not attached to the computer just displaying the setup screens. I sent it to Acer for warranty work. They said the screen had an internal crack and it had to be replace, credit card for $319

Overall Review: I think I was scammed by the Acer warranty people. The screen had what looked like sync lines. I even have a photo of the issue before it left my office. We packaged the monitor as specified. The Acer person told me it was "cracked internally and that is why is shows the lines", she added, "you must have squeezed it too hard". It was working fine on my desk for 4 days, then it got ugly with horizontal lines every 6 or 8 pixels from top to bottom. It did not just break sitting on my desk. It was probably a just the control board, but they can get big bucks by saying it was physically broken. Yup, they just about doubled their money on this one, $400 new on sale, $319 to fix it! Watch out!

did not work for me

200 Mile Range Antenna TV Digital HD Skywire 4K Antena Digital Indoor HDTV 1080P
200 Mile Range Antenna TV Digital HD Skywire 4K Antena Digital Indoor HDTV 1080P

Pros: very thin and easy to attache to most any surface

Cons: We have the TV station antennas about 20 miles away. This antenna could not get a good signal. I tried to orient the antenna is all different directions but never got a good signal. My attic antenna gets 20+ channels perfectly, but the TV is far from a jack to connect. Northwest Montana, lots of trees and hills.

Overall Review: Be sure to have a local USB port for power for this device.

everything in Chinese, docs, firmware, etc.

Pros: small space

Cons: Can't use this in the USA. They need to ship the US version to the USA. Nowhere in the description does it say it will come all in Chinese.

Great replacement

lasted 2 months

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.12 ST3750528AS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Manufacture Recertified Bare Drive

Pros: Fast drive, came right up when I got it.

Cons: Failed after 2 months. Ran it in an eSATA caddy and it would not recognize any more. Removed from caddy and plugged into motherboard SATA3 port, BIOS recognizes the drive, but says it is only 320Gig. I need reliability for my VMs, this is not the drive.

good to know I can still get drives

This was a replacement for a drive from a NAS device I installed 10 years ago! I was so happy that they had the same specs drive. Works great.
