It's a Power Supply

Pros: It works (quietly) and was reasonably priced.
Cons: None yet.
Hoping for Better Luck

Pros: + Long time satisfaction with WD discs in general + All my home server data drives are WD Red + Decent price / good value
Cons: - None yet (see below)
Overall Review: The two 6TB discs were purchased to add space on my home server & backup server. They replaced two, one year-3 week old WD Red 4TB discs. The 4TBs were reformatted and partitioned (2 partitions) to accommodate two file shares. After moving data to the drives, all four of them appeared to be in good operating condition; no SMART issues and temps well within acceptable range. Ten days later one of the 4TB drives went offline after having generated a slew of paging errors. I did quite a bit of troubleshooting, but was unable to ever get it mounted properly. I could see it ing Windows Disk management and Partition Manager, but neither program could perform any operations on the drive. I tried to delete the partitions and reformat, but was not able to do that. I did manage to see the top level folders a couple of times, but the disc would went offline each time. No luck with CHKDSK either; running it would immediately knock the drive offline. I then went to WD web site to see what the warranty would do for me. Unfortunately, after entering the serial number, the site displayed the message that the limited 1 year warranty had expired on 12/02/19. So much for 3 year warranties, huh? I'm thinking that maybe I can now use it as a doorstop, since it's obviously not heavy enough for a boat anchor.
Very Nice Pad

Pros: + The surface material and non-skid bottom are stitched together + The material is black, so dirt, coffee stains, etc., shouldn't be very noticeable + Not totally unmovable, but pretty much stays in place + Reasonable price + It's very big
Cons: - It's very big
Overall Review: I am happy with this mouse pad, and believe it will prove to be durable and long-lasting.
Died After 3 Years

Pros: I considered this to be an economical purchase for a relatively high performing cpu. It served the purpose intended as a desktop capable of multi-tasking (browsing/Audacity/Handbrake/AVIDemux), but I'm not a gamer. I was satisfied with the cost/performance.
Cons: The cpu died unexpectedly after 3 years of service.
Overall Review: From Day 1 the 8350 was paired with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, I didn't overclock it and there were never any overheating issues. After serving as my desktop PC for a year, I built a new system (I7-4790K) and re-deployed the 8350 box as my home server. Since it was hardly taxed as a file server, I started running Handbrake on it. Things were pretty hunky-dory for 2 years until one day -- poof, it went belly-up. No warning, no preceding log entry warning of it's demise, zilch. Maybe I got my money's worth out of it since it probably averaged running Handbrake 8 hours a day for 2 years, but this it seems to me that this cpu should have lasted longer.
10% Coasters

Pros: When on sale the price is as low as you'll find.
Cons: My experience has been that maybe 10% of these discs fail to burn.
Overall Review: I burn a lot of DVDs. These discs are virtually the only ones that result in coasters. When they fail, they are unable to actually write any data; the burner typically sounds to be throttling and eventually the burn process fails. The problem has happened on different DVD drives, so I am pretty sure it is not a hardware issue. I have used a lot of the Plex-Disc White Inkjet discs and have had virtually no problems with them. They are also a real buy when on sale, and I would highly recommend them over the Logo Top line.
Works as Expected

Pros: The cost was reasonable and it performs fine.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I got this to use in a Samsung phone, not that it was necessary or any more compatible than a different brand. I haven't run a benchmark on it, but it has good write speed when taking photos, as is expected with a Class 10 card.
Good Deal
The sticky mats work great and were a good deal, dollar-wise. They were shipped from China, so it took awhile for them to arrive. I knew that when I ordered, so it wasn't an issue for me.
