Excellent USB Flash Drive

Team F108 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (Golden) TG032GF108N3
Team F108 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (Golden) TG032GF108N3

Pros: I wanted to build a bootable high speed USB3 flash drive to run my version of the UltimateBootCD which has a suite of OS installers and diagnostic programs while also using it as a data truck to take my current projects around with me on my keychain. I used the HP Format tool (Ver 2.1) and it formatted well. *whew!* Many a USB Flash drive have spazzed out on me doing that... but not this little guy. USB speed is good on FAT32 partition. No problems so far. I was a little sketched out by "Team Group Inc" because the name suggest potential cheapness/knockoffness. The build quality on this thing is actually really good. The cap is a lot more solid than any other USB flash drive I've had. Aluminium casing is substantial without being bulky. Great product for me thus far...

Cons: Could have thrown in a lanyard... whatevs... I have lots...

Overall Review: Inexpensive Flash drive, no U3 nonsense, high transfer speeds

Most Critical Review

Wow. Super disappointed.

ASUS ROG Strix Scar Edition 17.3" 120 Hz GTX 1060 6 GB VRAM i7-8750H 16 GB Memory 128 GB PCIe SSD + 1 TB SSHD Windows 10 Home VR Ready Gaming Laptop - ONLY @ NEWEGG
ASUS ROG Strix Scar Edition 17.3" 120 Hz GTX 1060 6 GB VRAM i7-8750H 16 GB Memory 128 GB PCIe SSD + 1 TB SSHD Windows 10 Home VR Ready Gaming Laptop - ONLY @ NEWEGG

Pros: It has the specs listed. Sort of.

Cons: Man. I used to be a HUGE Asus fan. Best motherboards in the business! Now that everything is in China the quality has gone down the crapper. Good luck finding the updated drivers for any of this. Getting the audio to work right is impossible. None of the audio apps or diagnostic software actually runs in Windows 10. It's just a nightmare. There is zero support for this product. It is not possible at all to boot from USB. Man do I have buyers remorse. I have no recourse. There is nothing I can do. Save yourself.

Overall Review: Asus has really fallen apart. It's not the company it once was. I used to buy Asus everything and I will never buy it again. No support. Little works. The specs are technically correct but there is nothing that can save you from the failscade that is this laptop. It's loud. The audio is terrible. The on board speakers are horrible but don't worry you will stop using them when they blow out when the windows 10 sound plays. What a piece of garbage. It looks good for the money in the specs sheet you are looking at... it's all lies. I'm so sorry I bought this.

These things are cool but also like to go out

Kingston 16GB microSDHC Flash Card w/ USB Reader Model MRG2+SDC4/16GB
Kingston 16GB microSDHC Flash Card w/ USB Reader Model MRG2+SDC4/16GB

Pros: Low price, very minimal design

Cons: Not as tough as they look

Overall Review: I got this with the intent of loosing my USB flash drives for something I could swap out of my phone. There are a few problems: for one the adapter itself likes to go out on you. I've purchased a couple of these and they were both not working w/i a year. That said, I kept it on my keychain the whole time, so rough treatment could be a factor there. Slick design, the adapter won't get caught on cloths or anything. While very cool looking, this isn't a good option for replacing your USB flash drive if your data is important to you.

Awesome little adapter for MicroSD cards

Kingston 2GB MicroSD Flash Card Bundle Kit (with a full-size SD adapter and USB reader) Model MBLYAG2/2GB
Kingston 2GB MicroSD Flash Card Bundle Kit (with a full-size SD adapter and USB reader) Model MBLYAG2/2GB

Pros: I just got this for a larger capacity MicroSD card I have... for 6 bucks you can't beat this thing. The MicroSD USB adapter fits snugly and won't accrue lint when in your pocket. ...and let me tell you... I have some linty pockets. Forget the low capacity MicroSD card that comes with this kit... the adapter alone is well worth the money.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Small, tough, and won't gather pocket lint. Win.

Great RAM for Supermicro X6DH8-G2+

Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) ECC Registered DDR2 400 (PC2 3200) Dual Channel Kit Server Memory Model KVR400D2D8R3K2/4G
Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) ECC Registered DDR2 400 (PC2 3200) Dual Channel Kit Server Memory Model KVR400D2D8R3K2/4G

Pros: As with several of the other posters here, I've been having a hard time finding memory that actually works with a Supermicro X6DH8-G2+ motherboard. This stuff did the trick... excellent server memory. Now running w/ 5 Gigs, the system is sufficient for server functions.

Cons: None

Overall Review: None... cheap RAM that works well. Kingson is usually a good call.

It works

Rosewill RNX-G300EX Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128bit WEP WPA WPA2 802.1x, 802.11i, AES, TKIP with 100cm cable external 2 dBi Antenna

Pros: Win 7 support and super-easy install. Note this is Wireless G <--- NOT wireless N. Don't know why some say no N support is a con when it says on the specs its a G card. High quality for low price.

Cons: No N support. Does not make french fries.

Overall Review: New Egg rocks like a hurricane.
