CD/DVD marker pens
Pack of 4 different colours is always helpful for distinctive quick labelling of CD or DVD. 4* rating (rather than 5*) only becaue I haven't owned the pens long enough to say how long they will continue to perform well.

A good SSD - especially for older computers - but with a couple of possible limitations
Manufactured in 2009, this 1.8" uSATA / microSATA SSD was supplied OEM for use in laptops in the days of e.g. Windows Vista. Even with its SATA-2 interface, the SSD is much faster than a hard drive, though of course not as fast as modern SATA-3 SSDs. If required, inexpensive adapters are available on the internet for converting the uSATA interface to a more normal SATA.
Be aware that as a first generation SSD, some of the earliest versions of this particular SSD do not support TRIM, which was introduced with Windows 7 and helps maintain speed as the SSD fills up. So - depending on your planned use - do check what Firmware the advertised drive comes with! - e.g. it can be VBM15D1Q (no TRIM support), VBM19D1Q (no TRIM support) or VBM25D1Q (with TRIM support). I have two versions of this SSD - one with VBM25S1Q which works excellently as my system drive running Windows 10 64-bit; my other drive has VBM19D1Q, which I use as a backup drive - but being only 50% full still reads and writes well. In emergency, I would swap the VBM19D1Q in to the laptop and keep working!
Being OEM-supplied, there seems to be no support directly from Samsung, but the internet indicates that some OEM suppliers offer a firmware download which purports to upgrade some not-TRIM-supported versions to TRIM-supported (e.g. VBM19D1Q, but not VBM15D1Q), but success on using this Firmware updater seems to be mixed. As I indicate, lack of TRIM support is only likely to be an issue if one plans to run the SSD with most of its capacity used.
Finally, be aware that the 128GB capacity of the drive is of course low by modern standards, especially with more modern versions of Windows - in such cases the SSD is suitable only for holding the Operating System, Program files and a limited amount of "essential" data - other data will need to be held on a separate drive. (I have redirected my Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures folders to such a separate drive - e.g. it could be an external drive, though I am also fortunate in that my laptop has a spare internal drive bay!)
In summary, a good SSD - especially for older computers - but with a couple of possible limitations.
