Works Well
Pros: No Power adapter, Nero 8 included, and Price.
Cons: Looooooooong install.
Overall Review: I installed this on my Aspire 1, seem to take 20 min. or so. I've burned 3 DVDs and it was pretty fast, did not notice any noise like some of the other reviewers mentioned.
Antec Replacement?
Pros: Since I couldn't get a powerless Sonata 2 I looked for a replacement. It looks very good and is quite! All the front Panel connectors are in the new header that just mounts right up to the motherboard Love the box of part mounted inside, Dual 120's, dimpled standoffs to mount MB.
Cons: Reset button too small!
Overall Review: Drive bay door only opens 100 deg, needed to remove the front bezel to pop out the drive cover. Not a problem, just an annoyance...
So Easy
Pros: Easy to setup, Super powerful, latest security options
Cons: No complimentary desktop card, LEDs are a little dim.
Overall Review: Had this a week before Christmas. It was replace an existing setup. Everything went in like a snap. The Desktop upstairs running a old Cisco 3400 PCI card went from weak to excellent.
