Good enterprise disks
HGST/Hitachi Ultrastar A7K2000 HUA722020ALA331 2TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Pros: Low price (about 45$) for this kind of HD developed for enterprise needs.
Cons: 24K to 31k hours "power on" range for 6 disks bought.
Overall Review: average 40 C degree in my NAS.

1 disk over 4 received - DOA
Western Digital RE2 WD5000YS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Cheap for this kind of disk (Near End line - Enterprise) supporting high IO and any form of RAID.
Cons: Although those disk are refurbished, I was expecting better quality (Shipment?) when I bought them. Not even had the time to test or run the 4 disk together in a RAID 5 setup because 1 over 4 disks received was clicking non-stop, so Dead on Arrival (DOA). Unless your purchase is not critical (in time) do not buy those disk or a least not from Newegg. Consider to buy BRAND NEW DISK(s).
Overall Review: I am disappointed about shipping quality (styrofoam and bubble wrap) and Quality assurance at NewEgg.ca. Those parts were coming from USA, not Canada and have travel a long long way to arrive at my home (almost from West coast to East...4000 km). So unsure if this defective HD was from shipping, stocking or manufacturing.

Good drive
WD Blue 1TB 5400 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Mobile Hard Drive WD10SPZX
Overall Review: Still running since I bought it. I use it in a Ubiquiti cloud G2 key. Looks better than the original disk that it replaced.

Very good overall wifi router for the price if you get it in special
ASUS (RT-AX86U PRO) AX5700 Dual Band WiFi 6 Gaming Router Quad-core 2.0 GHz CPU, 2.5G port, Game Mode, Lifetime Network Security, Secure VPN, Upgraded Parental Controls, Adaptive QoS, Port Forwarding
Pros: Overall, it is a all-in one features (AI wifi, 1 x 2.5G port, dual wan, basic virus/IDS/IPS protection, VPN, wifi guest, etc). You can use open source project OS called Asuswrt-Merlin to update your firmware. You have some extra there....ex : 5 max simultaneous VPN tunnels.
Cons: Cannot be fixed on a wall (it is a desktop layout) Missing a 2.5G port, but for most people, I guess it is OK.
Overall Review: Price/feature ratio when you buy it in special is pretty good. Recommended, for sure.

Better than RT-AX86U PRO
ASUS RT-AX88U PRO AX6000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Router, Dual 2.5G Port, WPA3, Parental Control, Adaptive QoS, Port Forwarding, WAN aggregation, lifetime internet security and AiMesh support
Pros: Better wifi capabilities 1 x 2.5G WAN + 1 2.5G LAN Minimal Layer2 VLAN functionnality The possibility to use Asuswrt Merlin like RT-AX86U Pro...must if you want 5 OpenVPN tunnels at the same time VS 2 if you use stock Asus firmware. Asus OS is ahead (1 major release higher) from RT-AX86U Pro
Cons: Exact same CPU than its predecessor RT-AX86U PRO. Bigger case than RT-AX86U PRO Less elegant than RT-AX86U PRO
Overall Review: Recommended if a slight better wifi and 2.5G LAN and WAN is/are a requirement(s), if we compare to RT-AX86U Pro.
