Great SSD
Pros: This has proven to be an outstanding primary drive solution for my desktop. I replaced a Velociraptor with it and can see a very significant improvement in performance. OS boots in well under 1 minute (haven't timed it, Win 7 Pro x64), most apps are opened in the blink of an eye (MS Office 2007, Easy CD-DA, PowerDVD etc..) transfer speeds to and from other drives are amazing.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: .:System Config:. Case: Corsair Vengeance C70 Mobo: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz (Liquid Cooled Corsair Hydro H100) RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1866 Video: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 GHz Ed. 2GB GDDR5 OS: Windows 7 Pro x64
Nice Backup
Pros: Purchased 2 of these. They both work great. I can charge my Galaxy Note III or Galaxy S4 Mini multiple times on 1 charge. I haven't had any compatibility issues. All my devices can charge and run with these units. Also comes with multiple tips for the supplied USB cable.
Cons: Didn't come with a carry bag..... Seriously though: Supplied USB cables are rather short, but I didn't take an Egg away because you can use any USB cable with it!
Overall Review: I had been considering getting a portable battery for some time. Found these on sale so decided to try 'em out. Good decision.
Fine Mobo
Pros: Solid manufacturer. This mobo has everything I wanted and room for expansion. Looks great as well. Pretty self explanatory product. BIOS interface is pleasant and well structured. USB BIOS flash and BIOS Flashback are nice features.
Cons: Some of the fan connections do not report data to the system (they do drive the fans though)... not a big deal for my purposes. I personally do not care for the software suite that comes with it. Most of the features in the software can be set in the BIOS as well.

Purchased for Cars
Pros: Small size, appropriate capacity and decent price. Works great for MP3 use in cars.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: I have had some trouble finding flash drives that work in my cars. I read some reviews of Verbatim and decided to give them a go.
Good Stuff
Pros: Easy to apply and inexpensive. I have used Velcro cable ties for years. They perform their job very well.
Cons: Can sometimes be a hassle to mess with in applications that require frequent loosening. I.E. keeping portable USB charging cable neat and compact. No Eggs removed for this, just a personal choice!
Overall Review: I have used various brands of this type of cable tie. All have surprised me with their durability. Never any problems with loosing the ability to grip...
Good HDD
Pros: Fast and quiet. Works as advertised.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I have always had good luck with Western Digital and Seagate HDD's. I purchased this one to replace an SSD I put in a Dell Latitude D630. D series Latitudes do not work well with SSD, even with Win 7 on them. The D630 only has SATA I and this scales down well. I have not had any performance or functional issues so far. Bonus- The drive doesn't run nearly as hot as I anticipated either.
Not Impressed
Over a week in "processing", the order was marked as shipped 3 days ago, no tracking information, no product received yet. Good deal on the price of the product, but not sure all this hassle is worth it in t he long run. Had this been Newegg directly, I would have already had the product for over a week.
