I purchased this unit to use with a KinHank brand 12TB hard drive full of video games. The unit by itself works well and seems pretty snappy for basic web browsing like it's supposed to. I opted to not used the keyboard or mouse and instead purchased a small keypad and mouse combo. I currently have the mini PC hooked up to a 50" TV so the wired items would work for me due to distance. Not a problem as I look at the two accessories as being freebies anyway.One thing I did notice is I could not get into the BIOS by pressing any of the recommended buttons at the start of the PC.  I had to manually go into the settings to enter the BIOS and then I couldn't navigate the controls. Perhaps it's an issue of the mini mouse and keyboard combo? I thought I had read somewhere that 3.0 USB devices can not be used when booting into BIOS?? Either way I didn't have any luck.As for the gaming hard drive. It works well with this mini PC. It handles the games well all the way from early ATARI up to roughly Dreamcast era consoles. If you want a cheap browsing PC this will do the job. If you want to use it as a retro gaming system it should be perfectly fine. Do not expect Xbox, PS2, or higher consoles/games to work tho.
