gd = 1024 mb
Pros: @jay_81 You are missing some zeros: "16 megapixel point and shoot cameras take about 3mb of space per picture on this card. So your looking at about 110[00] photos saved to this card for 32gb worth of space."
Cons: This card is fast but there are faster cards. Go pay more if you want that.
Overall Review: Use this for our HD Vid Camera and it works great! Thanks Patriot and newegg! I have had to use Patriot's customer service and they quick replaced a different micro sd card when it stopped working. I am a happy Patriot customer.
Only carries 1.0 Amps
Pros: Functional cable
Cons: When used with a AC to DC converter rated to output 2.0 A at 5.0 V this cable throttles the current to 1.0 A. The result is that it takes much longer to charge devices that would otherwise charge much quicker. This would be fine except there is no indication in the item description stating this. One might "guess" this to be the case from seeing how thin the wire is in the picture.
Excellent modularity!
Pros: The modularity is top notch. I like the look of the cable bundling. Great price discount when combined with other components. I feel comfortable with an 850W 80+ Gold power supply for my max 500W-ish system.
Cons: Not really a con, but I got mixed up between the PCI-e and CPU cords as they look almost identical. I connected one CPU code, then spent a few minutes trying to figure out why the PCI-e cable would not connect. When I looked at the two connectors closer, It became more aparent that the connections were different. I felt silly when I realized I had set the other CPU cord behind me. To be fair, they are marked fairly well. This was really just an oversight on my part that I hope will provide someone else an opportunity to learn from and avoid my experience..
Overall Review: Seems like a quality product that should last. I'm two weeks in and perfectly satisfied.
No USB
Pros: Seems perfect for my modem and router.
Cons: No USB drive for safe computer shutdown. It's in the specifications but as my first UPS purchase I thought it was standard and didn't think to check.
Overall Review: If you need something for the network infrastructure, this is perfect. If you want your computer to be able to safely shutdown when the power is off and the battery runs down, this is not the unit for you.
Extra clicks - so frustrating
Pros: Worked great for about two years. I specifically wanted a wired mouse so the kids wouldn't walk off with it
Cons: After two years, it started double clicking for each single click. The behavior was sporadic at first born continually for worse until I replace it.
Overall Review: I expect something like a mouse to last longer than 2-3 years.
Kinda loud
Pros: - second one works fine (I think most drives fail early or work fine so I'm not too worried) - simple to format and partition - great price point for this amount of storage
Cons: - first one was DOA - it makes clearly audible noises when I mount the drive. I'm not certain but I think the noise dissipates after the initial mount, at least I didn't notice it so much as I was backing up several TB of days to it.
Overall Review: - I'm happy with the purchase - I'm hoping it lasts a long time (it has a decent warranty)
Good Seller
Fast Shipment & safely packaged. A bit disappointed with the product but that was my fault for not learning more about what I was buying.
