the fact you sell a vast amount of products, build by others, is not an
excuse for
lack of quality of what you sell.
BUT ... not everything that technically/specs wise should work, will.
Technically an SATA drive, with a USB<-->SATA converter would work
BUT for a example a laptop SATA/spindle drive would be so demanding on a
PI board, it would "deprive"
the board of power causing issues, even crash. An SSD might just be
borderline acceptable. 2-3W spikes
on a PI is A LOT.
Also, most stuff nowadays is built in China anyway, even high quality
components. The application is what
one needs to take into consideration

Greetings all;
Back in the middle of May 2019, I ordered, from newegg.com, three 240GB
SSD's and 3 rosewill usb-3.1 to sata adapter cables so I could use them
as std drives on my pi's.
All of the rosewell adapters have now died. Called newegg, got run
around, hit tigerdirect and had 4 startech's at about 5 bucks more
ordered in less that 5 minutes. We'll see how they work.
So right now newegg and rosewill are bad kharma to me.
NewEgg sells a VAST array of computer products. They really can't be
responsible for
what comes out of China, or test things for a year to make sure they
are reliable.
Yes, the CRAP coming out of China is deplorable, and thanks for the
heads up on this
product. I'd definitely avoid rosewill, but I can't blame NewEgg for
carrying most of
what is manufactured.
