Pros: Good construction, Heavy gauge metal, Responsive support from Bytecc. Supplied many mounting hardware. Reasonable price. Fast shipping from Newegg.

Cons: Supplied level on wall plate is not accurate. Wall plate mounting slots does not fit 3 stud, 16 inch apart, mounting. Requires drilling 2 new holes on the wall plate, or file to enlarge the existing slot opening . Need to buy four M6X20 screws to attach brackets to a Panasonic 58 inch LED TV. The supplied metric screws were either too long or too short.

Overall Review: Supplied instruction shows how to mount it on 3 studs 16 inches apart. In reality it cannot be done without modification. Bytecc need to redesign the wall plate mounting slots. Bytecc support is now aware of this problem.

ORICO 6619US3-BK SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to SATA Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5" and 3.5" HDD, SSD [8TB Support]

Pros: It came with the latest firmware. Generally works with USB3 and Win8.0

Cons: It does not work with Sony VAIO SVE1720 USB3 port (WIN 8.0) but only works with its USB 2 port.

Overall Review: Not worth to return it as it does work with some PC.

Inconsistent quality

Pros: Fairly good speed and display. Google play is available and apk download works well.

Cons: RMA the first one with WiFi unable to detect IP, and hangs, cannot access the internet. Insensitive screen, requires more than one tap.

Overall Review: Because of poor quality control, buying one is a gamble. NewEgg accepted RMA quickly and replaced it with a working one.

Not a good buy

WD Blue RFHWD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Manufacture Recertified Bare Drive

Pros: So far this recertified HD works. Passes WD diagnostic test.

Cons: Scuff marks and scratches on the outer metal face. Very short warranty.

Overall Review: The cost of a new higher capacity HD with 3 yr warranty is only $ 12 more. Very fast shipping from NewEgg.

Good HD until it failed

Pros: Fast and quiet until it failed.

Cons: Failed after 3 months. First it appears slow on Boot Up then failed to boot. WD diagnostic yield failure Error=04 with Code 96. Requested RMA from WD.

Good while it lasted

Pros: Compact, very portable and at reasonable price.

Cons: After less than 2 month of very light use. it stopped being recognized by any PC. Its light blinking continuously with no means of accessing the data on the 2.5" drive.

Overall Review: RMA process from WD was easy, but I had to pay shipping to return it to WD for replacement. Always had good luck with WD 3.5 " internal hard drives.
