Unbeatable Adapter!
Pros: Love the metal jacket dongle works well with PC’s, notebooks, and Samsung Blu-Rays. I get very good connection rates and best of all it is perfect for Samsung Blu-ray players that are WiFi ready, which I have a few of. I’ve never needed drivers to use them on any of my many devices.
Cons: Absolutely None. Well I could wine that they are not 3T3R but then I would need a router capable of 450Mbps too.
Overall Review: I have several of these adapters and have been using them for many years now. They are very versatile and rock solid as far as WiFi goes. I’ve never had one problem with these adapters and again I have several.
Nice Camera, Not Great
Pros: 1) Very nice display. 2) Aesthetically appealing. 3) Small for a telephoto with good optical zoom. 4) Flash features are rich for a snap-shot. 5) easy to hold on to. 6) Good resolution and video feature works well. 7) Plenty of scene operation modes for a novice to get the picture they want in most situations.
Cons: I needed to shoot through a patio screen and it kept AF'n to the screen putting my subject out of focus. I was able to play with the scene filters to try and eliminate the AF issue but still would end up with a somewhat blurred photo. If I could have turned off the AF easily I could of taken a good picture, however I didn't see a work around. Now this is not uncommon with snap-shots and I'm use to using a professional SLR/DSLR camera. Also when in full telephoto mode I also had fuzzy pictures.
Overall Review: Even though Nikon use to be the best camera, not any longer, I expected more from this camera especially for it megapixel rating. Although I rated only 3 stars it doesn't mean it's a bad camera particularly for a novas user.
Easy Setup 4TB Capable and Versatile
Pros: Simple to install M.2 Small and durable case Works well with TeamGroup 4TB MP34 M.2 NVMe SSD
Cons: The silicon heat pads make it hard to slide your M.2 into the case and keep in place properly.
Overall Review: Love this case so much I bought two more which I can use for my portable music stick, portable video stick, backup utility stick, or transfer personal files files.
Inexpensive Solid Fast NVMe SDD
Pros: Issue free High performance Not expensive Reliable
Cons: Truly none
Overall Review: Team Group is one of my goto's just like ASUS is for motherboards and monitor. This 4TB stick works well in the Orico USB 3.2 10GB external case and is great for backups, music, movies or whatever utilities you require as well as use on motherboards where I use this as well.
Full Protection and Still Flexible
Pros: * Light on your system. * Very flexible you can tune what you want. * Easy interface very simple to us with strong features. * Excellent VPN addon uses dual tunnel so that you can run sensitive sites on your normal IP and be fully protected on other sites that you need extra protection and don't want to be traced. * Price, you can't find a 15 device that is considered #1 in the industry by many reviewers. * When you restore files from the vault you can have it make an Exception rule automatically.
Cons: * Doesn't always allow you to restore a file when it takes it, you can't save it back to where it was taken but you can restore it to a different location. This means you have to screw around to get back to where you were before it confiscated your file. At least you can get the file back where as with so many other security programs you can't.
Overall Review: Decades ago I swore by AVG being the best security package in the business and when they got bad I went to many others sticking with Kaspersky for a few years. Kaspersky got to intrusive and I couldn't control what it was doing on my PC. When I started to lose special tools on my PC's that were false flagged I jumped to Bitdefender and I've been using them for a good 20 years now and will stay with them until they get carried away. If you shop for deals and don't auto-renew you can't beat a number #1 defense package for the money.
Solid MB Easy to OC Very Nice Looking
Pros: ASUS is on of the better if not the best at making their platform easy to push you CPU to it's max speed and stable running. they're also feature rich and lighting favorable much more then other platforms. Over the years my goto MB's have varied from Tyan to Gigabyte, to ASRock and to ASUS. I never worry about buying any ASUS mainboard and I can't say that about the others.
Cons: Could be cheaper but isn't that always true.
Overall Review: ASUS equates to WINNER!
Great Products
The Store: I now have several peripherals from Orico and all of them are excellent, I trust this brand and have yet to be disappointed. The Product: The M.2 NVMe SSD Drive Enclosure is super easy to assembly, keyless, eloquent looking, and I love the LED indicator that let's you know when the drive is active or can be released. Mine is facilitating a 2TB TeamGroup MP44Q 3D QLC NAND M.2 which I use for Music & Music Videos. Connected to a USB3.1/2 port it loads massive amounts of A/V material very fast, without corruption, when formatted properly (FAT32 or eXFAT). I also have Orico's clear plastic stick like this one and it is very good too, however this one insulates you from touching the heatsink whereas the clear plastic version has the heatsink exposed which is better for heat dissipation so for larger memory sticks with more data transfer usage the clear stick might be better. I have Drive docking stations, thumb drive enclosures and PCIe expansion cards USB3 additional ports) from Orico and they all work flawlessly for me, Orico is a great Store and provides Solid Products.
Noctua Simply The Best Coolers
I've been H2O cooling since it came out but hands down the Notcua's do a better job, aren't like Anchors to your PC, and are just as quiet if not more so. I'm switching back to these old-school coolers as they are truly the best!
