Most Favorable Review

Kguard DVR

KGUARD 8 Port Digital Security System Model TV-KW-SEC800A
KGUARD 8 Port Digital Security System Model TV-KW-SEC800A

Pros: This card works like all other low end DVR cards.Read the broken Eng-R-ish manual,plug it in, install the drivers, Install the software. I have purchased several of these cards, all work as advertised.

Cons: None to mention, I know what I purchased and how much I paid.

Overall Review: I wish Newegg could pre-qualify buyers from claiming their technical understanding as high, or even somewhat high.

Most Critical Review

Done with WD

WD Red Plus 3TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s, CMR, 64MB Cache, 3.5 Inch - WD30EFRX
WD Red Plus 3TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s, CMR, 64MB Cache, 3.5 Inch - WD30EFRX

Pros: Dont know yet, ordered for a 3 drive NAS

Cons: Ordered 3, one completley dead. Bios doesn't even see it. Other 2 work fine. There is no way that this drive passed quality control and arrived as a paper weight.

Overall Review: Have used WD drives exclusiveley for the past 15 years. I used to swear by the Black Edition and thought I would try the Red Edition. As of this writing, I have 2 1T Black drives and this RED sitting on my desk waiting to go back. Over the last few years, I have learned to test my new WD drives as soon as they come in and send back the bad ones. Sending them all back-I'm done.

Probably Should Skip This

HP DC5800 [Microsoft Authorized Recertified] Small Form Factor Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.80 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, DVDROM, Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit A Grade
HP DC5800 [Microsoft Authorized Recertified] Small Form Factor Desktop PC with Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.80 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, DVDROM, Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit A Grade

Pros: Dependable line of HP computers.

Cons: Really beat up. Had to reconstruct the whole rear of this computer as it was smashed in. Lots of scratches and blemishes. There was no damage to the box and it was packed well.

Overall Review: This PC obviously wasn't refurbished. Appears to have had an imaged drive stuck in it, Windows COA applied and sent out the door.

Terrible

ADATA Premier SP600 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASP600S3-64GM-C
ADATA Premier SP600 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASP600S3-64GM-C

Pros: Price, Speed Blah Blah Blah

Cons: Have bought a few of these and most have failed. The RMA process is one of those that begs you to just throw it away. That's what I am going to do with the latest duo setting on my desk. Was in a good customers PC so I'll eat it and go on.

Overall Review: For those that have been babied by the RMA process from other vendors, please take note of their process: (1) Fill out info online and wait for further instructions (2) receive email form for you to complete (3) Email form back to them (4) Wait for RMA email (5) Ship back product at your cost (6) Allow 2-3 weeks (7) Receive email w/ tracking #. I can remember easier RMA processes in the early 90's. I am sure that somewhere they clearly stated their RMA process, it's just not what I have come to expect.Stay with Intel and Samsung

Pros: Fast as lightening

Cons: Not quite as long lived as lightening

Overall Review: Customer suspects I sold them a piece of junk, I suspect they are right.
