Works for me!

Pros: Worked as expected both as a Linux and a Windows server. I tested a GroupWise to Kerio migration on it for 30 users, many with >1GB inboxes due to many sent and received file attachments. 55 GB of mail data total. As expected the Linux install blew away Windows on performance with 1 GB RAM. But even with Windows I was surprised it held up somewhat well.
Cons: Repeating others; a SATA controller would be nice. More than anything for the smaller data cable when mounting everything in a mini case.
Overall Review: Sure, the packaging it was sent in was odd. But it got here just fine.
Mine died after 3 uses

Pros: With the 3 power supplies I tested, it worked great. I liked the voltage readouts more than my last tester which only had red/green indicator LEDs.
Cons: Died after 3 uses. I paid nearly $100 for my last one which lasted a few years. Maybe <$30 is too much to ask for to get a tool like this I'll need to use 50-75 times a year.
Overall Review: NewEgg's RMA system rocks. Point, click, submit, approved, print a label and mail. My second RMA required here out of lots of orders, it can't get any easier.
Not a user serviceable part! IMO

Pros: One extra egg because it shipped quickly, packaged well, etc.
Cons: This is not a user serviceable part if you ask me. The existing keyboard had a glued on foil covering that included the two threaded mounts molded in. Peeled it off old unit but it will never go on machine-smooth perfectly by hand. There are about 30 snap-in pegs that hold the KB to the frame that are impossible to snap together by hand as well. I had to chuck this one (it would cost 40-50% of the original cost to ship it back not including time) and purchased a KB in the frame for $60.
Stay away from this drive!

Pros: Fast, like any other SSD.
Cons: Six out of ten failed in one year. Other colleagues of mine have experienced similar results. But what really gives this the most negative review is that Kingston warranty service sucks...if it exists at all, I can't reach anyone helpful.
Many coin mined

Pros: Worked as expected. Low cost vs. the power it has. Mines Dogecoin with a 130 K/Hs rate without any over clocking. I'm not a fan of OC'ing in general but tried it, and this card did error out when cranked up. Works fine with default settings.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Home automation and video capture server was already running a proxy 24/7 for my Bitcoin ASIC blades. A few more watts drawn and it is generating about $10 in Dogecoin a week.
It works!

Pros: Much less expensive than Samsung branded units and it works fine. I ordered the last one here on Newegg as well. My wife and I don't print much and it lasted a couple of years. Most importantly it didn't sputter, leak, wutever either.
Cons: Shipped from the middle of nowhere. :) Don't order it shipped normal ground if you need it faster than a week. I'm a long time spoiled Newegg customer that is not surprised when products arrive less than 24 hours after ordering. (When items ship from NJ warehouse to me in CT)
