Team F108 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (Golden) TG032GF108N3
Team F108 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (Golden) TG032GF108N3

Pros: This USB drive has been working great. I have formatted it a couple times and have been writing data to it continuously, and it has not failed on me. It of course, thanks to USB 3.0, has great read and write speeds. Although the write speeds could be faster, I am very pleased with this USB drive for the price.

Cons: Faster Write Speeds would be nice, but not necessary for the price

memorex 8.5GB 2.4X to 8X Write Speed DVD+R DL 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model 05712

Pros: Alright I am editing my review. Now that I have more coasters I can add a pro. If you have a good amount of coasters, they make for great paper weights. Also the DVD spindle is a great spindle, worth more than the disks.

Cons: Updating my status from my last review. I have had 17 COASTERS!!! For all of you that say, oh its your fault, your drive is bad etc... I used multiple checks to make sure it was not my fault. First of all, the burn would fail at different times(usually at switching layers), indicating my data was not corrupt or anything like that. I burned the disk at 2.4x, ruling out the fact that I could have been using a high burn speed. Now, mind you, I was trying to burn the same exact data with same exact burn settings these 17 times. For the final test, I went out and bought Verbatims. I tried one burn, at it worked PERFECTLY, no errors and I can read the data perfectly. I burned at the same settings as I was for the memorex disks(2.4x etc). These tests show that it is the disks quality that failed, not user or drive failure. The remaining seven disks I have not burned yet. The one left that I didn't talk about, burned successfully with COMPLETELY DIFFERENT data. No idea how it burn

Overall Review: In the end, if you want quality, do not buy Memorex. Honestly I would go with Verbatim, but if Memorex work well with your drive, good for you :). I honestly don't like the risk of paying for cheaper disks and hoping to get a good batch when I can just pay a little more for Verbatims that are almost guaranteed to write successfully every time. I was really hoping these disks would work well, but oh well... It was a nice try for the cheap $20 I spent on them.

Great RAM

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-5300PHU2-2GBNT
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-5300PHU2-2GBNT

Pros: Great RAM for the price. DDR2 is getting expensive, and this RAM looked like the best for my money. Bought two sets to max out a system and it works great. Went from 1 to 4GB of RAM and noticed a huge increase in speed. As always, G.SKILL makes great RAM.

Cons: None

memorex 8.5GB 2.4X to 8X Write Speed DVD+R DL 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model 05712

Pros: None so far. They are cheap, and thats all they are good for.

Cons: For far burned 4 of these disks, and all failed. I now have 4 useless coaster. I know its not my drive/media I am burning because I tried another brand of disks with the same exact burn settings and the same information I am trying to burn, and it worked perfectly. So far I would not buy Memorex again, but we will see how the rest of the pack turns out.

Great RAM!

Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model 996577

Pros: Great RAM at a low price. Works great in my laptop. Upgraded from 2GB of RAM. Laptop isn't showing a HUGE improvement, but its definitely noticeable. Works on my Windows 7 and Mac OS X partition. (It should anyways :P)

Cons: Not a HUGE speed difference, not even a medium speed difference. But there is a difference.

Overall Review: Overall, great 4GB bundle of RAM. Working great.
