compact, efficient, quiet and powerful
Pros: quiet small
Cons: cost
Overall Review: Well, what can you say about a power supply? As long as it quiet and powers your device, hey it is doing what it's supposed to do. Well, there are a few things you appreciate if you have been in the computer business for a while, they have clearly changed over the years. This one has an external power switch which is a throwback to the old days, with today's computers it is no longer really needed but does come in handy if you want to totally power off the power supply, i.e.: system crash/hang. In the old days all the wires where permanently attached, some are still made this way. This one has all its wires removable with connectors built into the power supply case. This makes it so easy to remove cables you don't need; custom computer builders will love this feature. This is also a small form PS, many of this capacity are larger and require a large case. This is a 1000-watt power supply with an 80% Plus Gold efficacy rating which means that it is over 80% efficient. For a power supply this big it means very low power losses if you actually use all the power. Another cool trait of this PS is the fan is off if you can keep the draw under 200 watts the fan will stay off and you will get about 90% efficacy. The fan does power on for a few seconds when you first power on but does turn off if it's not needed. This is a very quiet PS.
good for a simple small network
Pros: price is right small foot print no antennas sticking up
Cons: outdated N protocall low number of connections no venting on the top
Overall Review: Sorry but I did not like this router for my use. This router is for a single use home as it can not handle a lot of connections. I also found it very troublesome to setup requiring a computer and a cdrom drive for software installation just to connect and set it up for the first use. Most routers I have reviewed are pretty much plug and play. I also found the firmware was not up to date even though this was an older router I had just recieved so I updated it. I found range is limited compaired to my Nextgear Nighthawk X4S, yes I know comparing a Corvette to a Volkswagon Bettle. Also even though the unit itself is small with no cumbersome externa antenna the unit is not square so if you want to stack it , it must be on top. Other people seam to have had problems with its use but mine worked flawlessly with only one device connected. Newegg is selling this for only $26 at the time of this review so it is a good deal for a very simple network with few devices and a slower internet connection, but for anything else spend the extra money and get a better router.
Loving it!
Pros: fast, cheap, and large storage
Cons: none
Overall Review: works great so far, not the fastest on the block but well worth having.
Loving it!
Pros: Super-fast on my machine surpassing 400MB/s, zero heat transfer like the hard drive did on my laptop keyboard. Of course, no noise and price was right. Also much improved will be the battery life but I'll never know since my laptop stays plugged in.
Cons: None that I've had so far, only time will tell.
Overall Review: To me this is a great deal, and no one should be using a regular hard drive anymore, my laptop came with a regular drive and this is my upgrade. It is now booting super-fast, no more hot keyboard, and zero noise. Do yourself a favor and replace your old-fashioned hard drives with an SSD.
Ok for cheap drive, not for transferring large amounts of data
Pros: Great price Large capacity No cap to lose
Cons: The best transfer was about 40, not advertised 100. Transfer speeds kept dropping to 0.
Overall Review: This drive works ok for most small projects just don't try to save/transfer a lot of data at one time. I suspect they will be reliable for a long time as other products I have from this company still are working after years of use. I should have read other reviews as others have had the same speed limitations and stalling as I have had.
Maybe good for kids, the wife?
Pros: Easy setup with downloaded app Very easy to setup/link with Alexa Using the company app requires setting up an account with them and then all functions are easy to use.
Cons: While the light does all it was designed for consider if it is worth the price. Now you have another login account and password to remember and monitor for breaches. Now you have another app taking up space on your phone.
Overall Review: I've had this bulb for almost 2 weeks now and really can't find a use for it other than a regular white light. While it is easy to set up and use it's functions respond way to slow to music or movies. My wife likes it for some reason, the color changes. LOL, she ask, no told me we should replace all our lights with these until I told her the price. I literally do not have anyplace to set it up that does not have a switch so I can't just turn it on by itself. I've been doing reviews for Newegg.com literally for over a decade maybe 2 since I can't remember when I first started doing this and hate to say but I can't recommend this product for most people. It might be good for a kid's room as maybe a night light or a mood light. The video I posted with this review is at fastest speed to cycle the colors.
seller shipping ok
shipper shipping is ok product was below advertised specs
