Pros: Single 2.5 inch form factor Fast read/write speeds for both drives SATA to USB3 connector included

Cons: Windows only to access 1TB HDD

Overall Review: When I received this drive the box contained the drive, manual, USB stick, and a SATA to USB3 connector. The drive itself has a nice black plate covering the top of the drive. I did not use the manual but it appears to be thick because it contains most languages. The USB stick is attached to a piece of cardboard and it links to the WD page for this drive to download the software to partition the 1TB drive for Windows only. Finally the SATA to USB3 connecter is a very nice accessory for any SATA drive for backing up or mirroring. This drive takes up a single 2.5 inch drive bay and is not a hybrid drive but a single SATA interface that connects to a SSD and a HDD for Windows computers. You can use this drive with Linux or Apple operating systems but you will only be able to access the 120GB SSD section of the drive. This drive appears to be designed for laptops with only one drive bay or desktops with smaller form factors to give Windows PC the speed of a SSHD while also getting a large drive for storage. I used this drive in my smaller form factor desktop, the installation was very easy and exactly the same as a normal SATA drive. My desktop was running Windows 7 on a Seagate SSHD hybrid drive and a WD Green drive as secondary. Before changing any drives I tested the Hybrid, Green, and the Black Squared drive over USB3 speeds for comparison. Below are the numbers for running 5 tests each for 50MB and 1000MB files along with boot time to the windows welcome screen in seconds. ============================== WD Green 50MB file, 60.1MB/s read, 55.67MB/s write 1000MB file, 65.94MB/s read, 64.21MB/s write ============================== Seagate SSHD Time taken to boot to Windows welcome screen, 32.71 seconds 5.9 windows drive score 50MB file, 151.4MB/s read, 108.5MB/s write 1000MB file, 91.85MB/s read, 93.38MB/s write ============================== WD Black Squared Over USB3 50MB file, 159.2MB/s read, 152.6MB/s write 1000MB file, 159.6MB/s read, 152.1MB/s write ============================== WD Black Squared as primary disk Time taken to boot to Windows welcome screen, 26.18 seconds 7.5 windows drive score 50MB file, 232MB/s read, 126.9MB/s write 1000MB file, 242.5MB/s read, 133.1MB/s write ========= 1TB WD Black Squared Secondary Drive 50MB file, 115.7MB/s read, 116.1MB/s write 1000MB file, 108.5MB/s read, 109MB/s write ============================== As you can see the Black Squared SSD is faster than the hybrid drive which is to be expected but when comparing larger 1000MB file speeds it is more than double the speed. I was surprised to find the 1TB drive from the WD Black Squared drive to be faster than the hybrid drive. In addition to booting into Windows faster ripping BluRays ripped much faster and loading games like Marvel Heroes loaded faster and ran smoother. If you require speed, a large drive for storage, and have a computer with limited drive bays this drive fits the bill and this drive’s price is comparab

Pros: Crisp and Bright 10" Display Octacore Processor Decent Battery Life

Cons: 1GB Memory 16GB Internal Storage No move to SD Slow web browsing Poor Case Selection

Overall Review: My experience with the iRULU X1 Pro Lightning 10.1" tablet started off great with its bright crisp screen, good battery life, and snappy response. However, within 24 hours this tablet was slow when completing basic tasks like browsing the web. I tried uninstalling non-essential applications and different browsers but this had no effect. When trying to load this tablet's page on Newegg, it froze both Google Chrome and the included browser before finally loading the page about a minute later. By comparison, other tablets I own can load his same page in seconds. I found the iRULU X1 Pro Lightning 10.1" tablet includes two iRULU branded applications that load blank white screens. I cannot understand why an iRULU tablet comes pre-installed with iRULU applications that do not appear to function properly. These applications cannot be uninstalled but luckily the Android OS version on this tablet allowed the applications to be disabled so they could stop using the limited 1GB Memory on this tablet. Another quirk I discovered was that after a few hours of the screen being off the WiFi would show connected but anything requiring a network connection would not work until I turned the WiFi off then on again. I mostly use my other tablets to read comics and books which this tablet does well enough. However, this tablet only has 16GB of internal storage and an SD card slot. Using a 64GB SD card formatted to exFAT, the tablet was able to view the comics and movies. But when downloading new comics with Comixology, they downloaded to the internal storage. I used the tablet to format the SD card, but that only resulted in the tablet seeing about 400MB available on the card and application data still used only internal storage. Additionally, the Settings for this version of Android do not offer any option to move an application to the SD card. There are applications available to add this feature, but they all require the device to be rooted which I have not yet attempted on the iRULU X1 Pro Lightning. I would not recommend this tablet, even as a budget option, as there are better and cheaper Windows and Android tablets that handle basic tasks, like web browsing, better than the iRULU X1 Pro Lightning.

Pros: Light weight Small Wireless Dongle Compartment in the mouse to store SlipStream dongle USB-C for wired use or charging Battery lasts well beyond 40 hour work week 5 of the 6 buttons programmable Dual Wireless support (Bluetooth or Corsair Slipstream Wireless) Slipstream worked as well as wired

Cons: Single DPI Button

Overall Review: The Corsair Sabre RGB Pro Wireless Champion mouse is a simple looking mouse that fits in well with the gaming rig or in a professional space. Prior to the Sabre RGB Pro Wireless Champion mouse, I had been using a Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro Wireless mouse. The Sabre is not only lighter, it has a much longer battery life and Corsair seems to have improved the SlipStream wireless in the Sabre. While using this mouse the first thing I noticed was how light it is. It is hard to believe that it has a battery with an advertised life of 90 hours. I have been using this mouse for work for over 50 hours and iCUE does not yet show low battery. I was expecting to have to plug it in sooner either due to battery life or poor wireless reliability but both features have exceeded my expectations. The Sabre comes with a USB-C cable which I used for a short time after working wireless all week. I noticed no difference in the precision or responsiveness of the mouse when comparing SlipStream wireless and wired. Being a Corsair mouse, the Sabre utilizes iCUE software which I already had installed for my other peripherals. The Sabre seamlessly matched the RGB profile as my other devices. iCUE also has the options to reprogram 5 of the 6 buttons to different functions, left mouse click does not appear to be reconfigurable. The Sabre does only have a single DPI button by default so to change the setting outside of iCUE requires clicking up to 6 times to cycle all the options. The Corsair Sabre RGB Pro Wireless Champion has impressed me and will be my new daily driver for work and gaming.

Pros: Windows Hello face login Function Key to switch Touch Screen to just a Touch Pad ScreenPad tutorial on first login Velcro Straps included with charging cables Fast NVMe SSD No fan noise External Temperature is never hot

Cons: Speakers are too quiet Power button on main keyboard Power and most I/O on the right

Overall Review: The Asus VivoBook S15 S532FL-DB77 15.6" Notebook comes in a sturdy box with no CD or USB stick for drivers. As it is 2019 and this notebook doesn’t have a CD-ROM, I think this was a good choice to avoid unnecessary waste. The notebook does include two paper booklets, one Warranty booklet and one User Guide. However, for unnecessary waste, the notebook includes 10 stickers that I gave to my daughters. The laptop has plenty of I/O for an ultraportable, but they are on the wrong sides. There are two USB-A 2.0 ports on the left. On the right there is a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm audio jack, USB-C 3.1 port, USB-A 3.1 port, HDMI, and power jack. If using a mouse and right handed, the majority of the I/O can interfere with its operation. However, the power plug interfaces with laptop at 90 degrees can easily be run behind the laptop. Although the laptop is lightweight, the screen can be opened with one hand without needing the hold the laptop base down. The keyboard keys are silver with grey backlighting which makes the key characters difficult to see in well lit scenarios. There is a full narrow numpad, however the decimal key is located under the 2 and the enter key under the 3 key. This has resulted in my using the enter key instead of the decimal key several times. The power button is located directly above the numpad which could result in the accidental shutdown of the keyboard. The built in camera that features Windows Hello facial recognition works well. I had it scan my face once with glasses and once without, since then the camera has had no issues automatically logging me into my profile. I also had my son attempt to login, and although he looks like me, Windows Hello was able to recognize he is not me and required a PIN or password for him to login. I used the camera, built in microphone, and speakers with a few Zoom meetings; the camera was clear and the other meeting participants had no issue hearing me. The speakers however, are a bit on the quiet side for meetings and video playback. I recommend using external speakers or headphones when doing activities that require being able to hear the audio. After logging into Windows for the first time, a trial of McAfee runs by default along with a pop-up for MyAsus and Dropbox which I closed. This pop-up did not open again after the next login. One positive program that opened at first login was a tutorial for the ScreenPad. The ScreenPad is bright and doubles as a full second screen. Although the TouchPad comes with a few Apps pre-installed, I found their usefulness limited. Most of the apps provided limited offer functionality that is already available on the keyboard or a copy of a menu already on screen for Microsoft Office. While using the VivoBook, I used the setting to disable the ScreenPad and instead used it as a normal touch pad. I asked my wife to test the TouchPad with her vinyl cutting. She found the Handwriting app useful was able to hand write words, letters, and drawings that she could then import into the cutting software as an image. She also used the touch pad to play videos while working on the main screen. The VivoBook is not designed with gaming in mind. I tried playing a few games which all needed to be set to the Low presets. Surviving Mars and Subnautica played well, however, Jurassic World Evolution was skipped often. I also tried plugging in external monitors, I was able to run a 3440x1440 UltraWide through HDMI for normal tasks, Web browsing and MS Office without issue. However, I was unable to get a second monitor working with a USB-C to HDMI adapter. To test the battery, I fully charged the battery to 100%, switched the Screen Pad to Touch Pad, then set the Power Mode in Windows to Best Battery life. With these settings I was able to play YouTube from Opera for 5 Hours and 40 Minutes before Windows shut down due to battery being less than 1%. While testing the laptop, the single fan never sped up to an audible level and the exterior of the laptop never became hot to the touch. While performing a 20 min stress test, the temperature peaked for the CPU at 94C and GPU at 90C. During testing, the keyboard and touch screen area varied between room temperature (72F) and 99F. Tests were performed with the Laptop plugged into AC Power with the Power Mode set to Best Performance.

Pros: Plug and Play with Plex 4 Simultaneous Streams

Cons: Ethernet is only 100M

Overall Review: I use this tuner with my Plex Media Server to replace cable and I have not been disappointed. I paired the HomeRun Connect Quatro with a passive antenna in my attic and it was able to pick up all the major channels in my area of Arizona. The HomeRun Connect Quatro ethernet port and the Plex Media server are both wired to the same gigabit switch. Even with the HomeRun Connect Quatro only connecting at 100M, I have experienced no lag or skipping when watching live TV or recorded playback from Plex.

Pros: Acceptable Read/Write Speeds

Cons: Not single connection, USB and Power separate Not USB-C

Overall Review: I purchased this drive for archival storage. With that in mind I was not expecting much in speed but I was not disappointed. When running tests, the drive averaged 199.3MB/s read and 202.8MB/s write. When copying large files to the USB drive it averaged around 183MB/s.
