Cheap and does its job

This is a cheap way to ensure you can safely shutdown your electronics if the power fails. They obviously won't power your electronics for long, especially a desktop computer, but it should allow you enough time to shut down should you lose power.
I would not recommend this as a replacement for a UPS, however. I got this mostly to keep my network up and to use a surge protector. If you need something like a UPS, get a full blown UPS so it can send the shutdown signal to your devices, such as computers and NAS devices.

High capacity, speedy SSD
on April 23, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great drive if you need both space and speed. It is far from the fastest SSD you can get, as it relies on an older PCI-E version, but I use this to store my digital assets for DAZ and other 3-D design software. I wish it was a little faster, but my files do load pretty quickly and I needed the 4TB version because of the amount of data I have stored on it.
If you can get away with a 2TB drive, there are plenty of options that are speedier than this drive. There are also other brands that have 4TB SSD's like this one with much better performance, but I trust WD and can't afford to lose my work. Yes, I have plenty of backups, but a failing drive is not fun to deal with, so I went with this one.

Great drive for media files and other random files
on April 23, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good as it gets in terms of HDD. Large capacity and fairly quick for a HDD. Obviously, the speeds do not come even a little bit close to that of an SSD, but they are pretty quick for a HDD. I like having lots of storage, so the 10TB works well for my needs. Though, I do wish they had a higher capacity drive, maybe 16TB.
I do not storage a lot of games on this drive, despite the fact that this drive is for "gamers". I use it to store my media files, and in that regard it is perfect. Unfortunately, I can't comment on game load times, etc, because I don't really need it for games.
I did, however, need a drive for my media files and tons of random files that don't have a home. This fits that purpose perfectly. I can't hear it over my computer, so I am assuming it is pretty quiet. I didn't think noise was important until I put a Toshiba drive in my computer some time ago and it was loud.
Don't forget to register this with WD to get the 5 year warranty. It is easy to register and ensures you'll be covered if something happens.

This is a very nice backpack. I have lots of gadgets and love that this has plenty of compartments to put all my external drives, cables, and other accessories. Very pleased with this purchase and it holds my 17 inch MSI laptop and iPad Air, along with all my peripherals with no issue. Build quality is top notch. Looks pretty good too.

Great SSD at a great price
on January 20, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
I put this in a new MSI GS76 stealth laptop I have and it works great. It is not the fastest, but that is because it is being held back by the design of PCI on my laptop. This is a Gen 4x4 SSD, and I am using it in an older generation PCI. Still works great and have had no issues with this SSD. Time will tell how long it lasts, but for the price and performance, I could not be happier. I would buy this drive again if I needed another 2TB SSD.

Excellent gaming laptop with huge battery
on January 20, 2022
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an excellent laptop that surpassed all my expectations. It is built very solid, has all the high performance parts I wanted, plenty of ports, and a huge battery that actually makes this laptop usable for work. The screen is gorgeous, I feel like QHD is perfect for this size screen. 1080p is a little low for my tastes, and 4K on a screen this size is overkill. The i9 CPU can handle anything you throw at it, from games and rendering to usual daily activities. The 32GB RAM was a big selling point for me, as I find 16GB too little to accomplish what I want. The 3070 handles every new AAA title without issue on high or ultra quality at QHD reslution.
I originally bought this laptop over a month ago, but the scree was defective. I returned it and was offered to exchange it for another brand, but I specifically chose this laptop for the specs and price. So I received a new one about two weeks ago and I have had no issues with it. Like I said, it is very well built. The fans don't get any louder than any other gaming laptop, and while the i9 runs hot even under light load, the trinity cooling keeps the GPU temperature down pretty well.
If you are in the market for a well built gaming laptop that will last years, this is your machine. I am so happy I didn't go with another brand and exchanged the defective laptop for the same model.
The RAM is on the other side of the motherboard, so replacing or upgrading it is no easy task. 32GB should be good enough for the next few years, so that is not a concern of mine. It also has a free M.2 slot to put another SSD in, so you can expand your storage fairly easily.
The technical specs are something you should look into, such as the full Gen 4 PCI, and resizable BAR support. Some games require that you use the MUX switch, which isn't a problem because if you are going to be playing a AAA game, you will want it in discrete graphics mode anyway.
Overall, I am very happy with this laptop. I have a bad habit of buying laptops and using them for a few months before replacing them This one, on the other hand, is going to be around for years. The components, huge battery, screen, and build quality are all top notch. I have no complaints with this laptop, which is rare for me.
I don't think you can get a better laptop with these specs at this price. Very, very happy with this purchase. I can finally stop buying laptops, for I have found the one that is perfect for me.

Reliable and comfortable
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: trikedik
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got these to replace my company provided headset, which were on ear and generally not too great. The sound these put out is decent, but I use them mainly for talking with my colleagues (Teams) and listening to training videos. They are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and I really like that the mic recesses into the headset to get it out of my way. They are not the best headset available, but they work great for work from home and are comfortable enough to wear all day. I did try to listen to some music on them, and while they sounded good, they were not stellar.
I know this is a gaming headset, but I have not had the chance to use it with a game. I wish the cable was a little longer, but it is of normal length and so not really an issue.
I have had no issues with the mic, and my colleagues say I sound normal, so I guess the mic on these is pretty decent.

Good for work or home

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to buy a few of these when setting a server up for a client. It was urgent and I did not have time to shop around for cables. I went to best buy, bought a few, and plugged them in. They are powering a few Dell R620 and we have had no issues with them since plugging them in. They are reliable and a good value. Not much to say here, it is a power cable that works as intended and has not let us down.

Reliable and affordable surge protector

It is just a simple surge protector, but in the time I have had it, I have had no issues with it. The quality isn't the highest grade, but for almost all applications I can think of for home use, this performs well.

Game like a pro on Windows 11 with this ROG Zephyrus G14. Double up on AMD firepower with Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU and Radeon RX 6800S GPU featuring exclusive AMD SmartShift and Smart Access Memory technology that dynamically boosts performance for any task. Be confident in screen quality with an ROG Nebula 120Hz Display. Leap into the next generation of memory and storage with 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage.
I see that this comes with only 16GB RAM and that one 8GB is soldered on. My question is, since this supports up to 24GB, will I be able to replace the other 8GB RAM stick with a 16GB RAM stick to achieve 24GB? Wish this came with 32GB!
