Solid design, reliable performance, long life.

I purchased this relay to allow the Cool function of my "smart" thermostat to control my whole house fan (I prefer natural air flow to being cooped up in a closed, air conditioned room). It has solid construction and a compact footprint. The features that I found most appealing were: Compact design, flange mounts, and 1/4" male quick connect terminals. I also needed a device with a 24VAC coil voltage and low operating current, with a 250VAC @ 10A Normally Open (NO) contact. A single pole (contact) would have sufficed for my needs, but this one is a double pole device, so I effectively have a spare contact if needed. Being a UL Recognized product will provide a modicum of comfort knowing the part won't catch on fire (if correctly installed, of course).

That stated, after installing the relay and connecting my whole house fan, I now enjoy the comfort of breezy cool summer days and nights.

I've been using this external hard drive for over a year now.  It has never failed, never crashed, and has never had any issues connecting.  It holds a solid 2 TB -- nor more, no less.  I access and run my files directly from the drive.  I use it every day, except for some weekends, so I put it through the paces.  And every day, I plug and unplug the cord from the drive, so there are no issues there.  All things considered, it is a well-made, reliable drive.  I highly recommend it.

I have 6 of these Toshiba Portable drives, which I've purchased over the last 5-6 years, ranging from 500GB to 2TB. None of them has failed, ever. No glitches, no errors, no issues. They are solid, phenomenal drives. They are feather-light, silent, and tiny.

I write this because I've had three Apple hard drives and two other drives from Best Buy (Insignia and something else) fail in the last few years, while these have performed perfectly. Bravo, Toshiba.

I've purchased a couple of these HDs over the years, and I've always had great luck with reliability.  Price is right, they run quiet and cool, and they have a low profile presence.  Buy with confidence!

Solid performance.  No scratching, and it's still as shiny as brand new.

A great performing drive 1/3 faster than the usual stock drives and capacity to last for many years. Marginally louder, and runs  at slightly less power  consumption, well worth the price and effort to upgrade onto.

I had one that lasted 10 years and loved it, glad I found a replacement :) Efficient, great and reliable

Over the years in building and/or using PC's, Western Digital Hard Drives have always been a standard on which I could rely.  In addition to providing solid, reliable performance the price has been competitive and the Western Digital web site has a wealth of information.  The info covers not only their latest drives but also older ones.  It includes installation help, diagnostic SW downloads & technical literature.  When digging one back out of your hardware box to reinstall it there is place from which to pull info, data etc.  This is the 3rd SATA internal hard drive in this series purchased this year... 1-640GB & 2-500GB and all have performed well.  I have several of their IDE drives in use as well.

I've been buying Corsair RAM for years, so I was excited (and admittedly skeptical) when they began selling PSUs and towers in recent years. However, I couldn't be more pleased. Not only is it a solid, reliable performer, Corsair took great care in designing and packaging their PSUs to complement the aesthetics many gamers demand from their rigs.

My design preference is sleek and stylish. No frills, but sexy - and it must get the job done (a no-brainer). That's exactly what Corsair did for RAM and I'm happy to report that their PSU (and cases) retain those core values in these new product lines. I can only hope Corsair continues to expand to other PC accessories and peripherals.

Even with solid state drives, they can die on you without notice. I've had a Vector 150 die on me after just 3 years.

This is a value drive with fast speeds. You can view the speeds yourself on this product image. Every time I'm reading speeds, warranties and other marketing tools, I can't help but think of cars. Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai. etc. all are really similar but it all really comes down to brand preference. Here's how I see the OCZ 180: it's basically a middle of the pack compact car. Get your money's worth. Efficient. Won't make your hairs stand on your neck, but will give you quiet peace of mind. Small chance it's a dud. Good chance it will last a long time with proper care.

Based on the speeds, promised reliability and function so far, four stars is fair,though that could quickly change.

OCZ isn't known to have a smooth RMA and warranty honoring. I view the warranty as only confidence in their improved product. I am hoping the Toshiba tech helps with reliability.

Nice design, runs stable on my MacBook Pro.  Benchmarks are consistent with published specifications. A bit faster than my old Samsung EVO, but definitely lower overall speed than my Vector 150 and 840 Pro. I think the access time is just as fast as the Vector 150 though... Just lower sequential speed as expected. All barefoot 3 drives seem to have faster access time than other drives and I have experience nothing but solid reliability.

This power supply has been running for three years now powering, on a 24/7 nonstop basis, a system containing:

- Core i7-3770k
- Nvidia GTX 960
- 4 hard drives
- Dual gigabit ethernet
- Wifi card
- DLT drive
- All RAM slots and all PCI-X slots full
- Seven fans running continuously at full bore

In short, it's your basic modern white box desktop system that's actually used for computing rather than something like mining. I use it to do a lot of light video work and database work and most of the time it's running at around 50% load.

The system and voltage rails have been absolutely rock solid since the power supply was installed. No issues, no fluctuations, no problem. Hardware monitoring always happy, no matter the load variation.

Would buy again, totally.

Reviewing this keyboard with Blue Switches.

An amazing keyboard with the high build quality I have been accustomed to from Cooler Master.  The switches are great, nice tactile response and the satisfying click that I love in a mech keyboard.  The user controlled RGB lighting is a nice touch, though it's not a feature I look for in a keyboard and therefore don't play around with much, so I can't comment too much on this.  Though all my LEDs work flawlessly.  It's a true workhorse - nothing flashy, just reliable performance.  Looks nice and plain (which I like), no flashy, annoying logos or anything, just a plain black keyboard with great switches and 100% reliable performance.  It's also quite heavy, which helps to prevent it from sliding around on your desk with use. The RGB lighting can even be turned off, or dimmed down (as I have it), to keep the workmanlike aesthetic intact.  I can 100% recommend this without hesitation.

Same as every other Samsung SSD I've bought.  Superior performance and design with solid reliability.  I have had far too many Kingston, Corsair, Micron, and other brand SSD's fail.  I've had 1 out of over 200 Samsung SSDs installed in the last 3 years fail.

Outstanding quality, reliability and sound.

I installed DD-WRT on this router and have been using it since August 2014 (currently end of June 2015, so approximately 10 months in production now).  Excellent performance wired and wireless, hardware is very solid.  I do experience intermittent device resets, and I haven't identified the root cause, however they may be related to PPPoE resets which I'm receiving from my ISP (so that would not indicate any real problem with the hardware).  Regardless, they are infrequent enough that my family and I do not notice, and I work daily from my home office for 8+ hours.  I will buy more of these, or possibly the newer units from ASUS, I'm very pleased with the experience thus far.
