Pros: - A ton of plugs. - Ground (green), surge (red) and wiring fault (yellow) detection lights. - Edge plugs have lots of room between them. - Included paper template for mounting AND included mounting screws. - 15A circuit breaker (never mentioned as such, just saying "over current protection" and the on side of the power button is labeled "Reset"). - Power plug flat and at an angle (I have them in the UPS' so it's awkward and covers another plug but I have no other outputs from the UPS so it works). - More surge protection. - USB power (I don't use it).

Cons: - No labeling of those three lights. - Yes, the side plugs look rotatable but that would be more expensive. They are great sticking out like that but they could have removed the grooves around those plugs so it isn't misleading. - Not designed for ruggedized use.

Overall Review: It was ugly, I had 3 power strips with various inputs and outputs. You ready? 2 computers, 1 laptop, 3 NAS', 3 UPS', inkjet printer, 3 monitors, 4 HDD docking stations, 1 USB switch, 1 eight port USB charger, 2 gateways, 1 switch and a myriad of smaller loads. No worries, Kill-A-Watt meters say max usage is almost 1100W all through my one 20A wall plug (code limited to 16A which thus can take 1920W). The wall plug connects to two UPS' with network cards and scheduled monitoring (Tip: UPS' and monitoring cards are cheap on e*b*a*y, new batteries are all that's needed as the electronics nearly last a lifetime). In the picture the left strip is powered by a 1500 VA UPS and powers my main computer, the NAS' (Qnaps which use little power) and network loads. The right strip is powered by a 1000 VA UPS and powers nearly everything else including a 700 VA UPS powering the second computer (15 HDD run by XigmaNAS, surprisingly uses less than 350W with everything running). Before anyone freaks I used to work for APC and test UPS'. The 1000 and 1500 VA UPS' are Smart-UPS thus they are stepped sine wave output. The 700 VA UPS is square wave output (yes I assume, it was a cheap Eaton). You can plug other UPS into stepped sine wave output UPS but never connect any UPS into a square wave output UPS. Besides surge protection in the strips and UPS, I have whole house surge protection - you can never have enough. Mounting was awkward due to location but even wall warts fit with room to spare. I used slightly bigger screws and their holes from the previous power strip mounts. Power cord was long enough to connect to UPS' 5 ft away leaving me room under the desk for my legs. In time we'll see if they will last as long (15+ years) as the other power strips.

Pros: It appears to have all that is needed to do the job: 1. USB and eSATA plus all cables. 2. Holds down HDD with 4 screws, great for heat dissapation. 3. Has a fan. 4. Fan is very quiet fan. 5. Very slim. 6. LEDs indicate drive activity for both USB and eSATA.

Cons: Could not get the eSATA port to work consistantly with 500 GB HDDs from WD and Hitachi while connected to a Qnap TS-101 NAS. Worked TWICE out of hundreds of tries and that was only until it soon locked up. Verified the TS-101 eSATA port worked with the same HDDs and a Cintre CI-355SU2 enclosure. Might be a SATAII issue but forced the WD HDD into SATAI mode and it still wouldn't work.

Overall Review: The Rosewill RX353-S SLV is identical to the Nspire NSP-HD-343-SSC. I returned the Rosewill once through Newegg and the Nspire through the vendor I bought it from. That's FOUR enclosures of this type I tried to get to work through the eSATA port and it was a no go! I would use the Cintre's enclosure for a SATA port except they have no indication of HDD activity, only for USB.

Pros: - USB 3.0 (should be faster than USB 2.0) output - eSATA output - Has connections for all normal consumer HDDs (2.5" SATA, 3.5" SATA. IDE with flexible distance between data and power connector - Card reader for SD (most other formats are out of vogue) - USB hub of two USB ports - Backup/Copy functions (but I never need that because I am unsure how deep the copy goes, i.e. does it copy at the low level format layer?) - Two indicator lights, one for power and another for activity - Has a power switch instead of pulling and pushing the power cable to on/off reset the station - No external software drivers to install, at least in Windows all USB/eSATA connections enabled through already present Windows drivers and the station's USB connection to your PC

Cons: - Needs an external power supply (not power just through the USB cable) but this is expected to support all of the above pros. - eSATA connects only to the SATA HDDs, not IDE (but I've never heard of an external enclosure that does) - Ironic a USB 3.0 connected enclosure has only a USB 2.0 hub (but this is due to the chip design, not enclosure design) - HMI - USB cable kind of short (I used an extension) and takes desk space (nerd humor here)

Overall Review: I already have the USB 2.0 version of this product. It is versatile and out of a dozen old and ancient (up to 30 yrs old) IDE HDDs I've tried, I think only one didn't work. I never met a SATA HDD that didn't work and I've tried dozens. Sometimes the "instant on" feature for eSATA works with a PC and some times it doesn't. A USB connection always works but is slower. I wanted the USB 3.0 version. You know how companies use the same packaging for different versions but similar sizes of products and thus address many disparate features on the packaging? Well a close look at the box (search for a pic on AliExpress) mentions "USB 2.0/3.0". On the side they list all versions and check off the one that is in the box. Well I got the USB 2.0 version checked off even though there is a USB 3.0 version. I was mifted because the Newegg storefront specifically says USB 3.0. So I contacted King of the Forest and they asked for photographic proof. When the King was convinced they sent a USPS return label (no restocking fee) and it is winging it's way back for, what I hope is, a replacement of the correct USB version. I will revisit this review after I get a replacement. EDIT: Guess they didn't have the USB 3.0 version because they gave me a refund. Thus the claim this is a USB 3.0 product is WRONG and they are not changing this product description to the truth. Down to 1 egg. Buyer beware!

Pros: - Links up to 5 HDDs together into one HDD in a bunch of different ways including RAID 0 (2 or 4 HDDs), RAID 00 (2 pairs of HDDs), RAID 1 (2 or 4 HDDs), RAID 10 (4 HDDs), RAID 5 (I believe 2 to 5 HDDs) and JBOD. - USB 3.0 connection only. - Quiet fan. - LEDs showing HDD power (blue) and access (red). - Tool-less HDD install with a "push" bar to eject. - Very little power draw, added 1% to a 350 VA UPS. - Is flexible, can set RAID either with the dip switches or through a Windows app that is downloaded (no included CD). - Locking HDD doors complete with two hexagonal keys.

Cons: - HDD insertion doesn't feel like the SATA and power plug fully connects with the HDD but not proven so far, all HDDs work. - HDD doors feel a little loose and thin but should only be used during HDD install & removal so no issue. - Older models had the power brick inside the enclosure. That would be nice but not really a major con even though the brick is large. - USB 3.0 cable is short but I place the enclosure on the NAS so no worries. Power cable is plenty long enough.

Overall Review: - I used the non-software way of initiating a RAID 5 on five 2 TB HDDs I had from an old NAS4Free box. It works but one step is missing in the documentation: after "setting" to the Normal dip switch setting and waiting for the beep, turn off the enclosure to follow with the "setting" of the RAID chosen to operate in. - I connected it to my NAS4Free server and it works like a charm as an encrypted, UFS formatted disk. - Can't monitor SMART through the RAID but that's normal for any RAID. - The LEDS are right on top of each other, that means during each HDD access each blue LED displays purple because of the adjacent red LED. Nice effect.

Pros: - Works when it works. - Came with a battery.

Cons: - Have to re-insert the battery to get it to work every time.

Overall Review: - Why Bose produced a product without buttons on the base unit is beyond me. And I told them so when I worked there.

Pros: - Great game, familiar since it's the same as Fallout 3 except it's in the Boston area. Not that it is exactly like the Boston area (which is where I live) since by their compressed scale you are about 100 times bigger compared to the real world but still cool nonetheless. - A few crashes but common for today's games, nothing corruptive or lasting. - Love the fact when you or your system alt-tab away, when you come back its as if you hit ESC (you are paused). - Takes a good 10-15 seconds to load on an 8350 8-core, 32 GB memory system from a WD Black HDD but that's to be expected with these graphics. - Dual screen works with a Radeon 7950 but there is some visual distortion so I stay with one screen.

Cons: - Bethesda in their insidious wisdom has required Steam, the world's most evil DRM tracking tool, to be used to run this game. There is nothing in Newegg's webpage that mention's this. 3 eggs off for these things. Nevertheless Steam has been removed from the equation via Windows firewall. Long live GOG.com! - Game will take up a LOT of your time :] (not a con to me but others may think so)

Overall Review: - Constantly have to decide to play World of Warships or Fallout 4, such a dilemma every time...

Of the four battery packs one was dead. Fortunately it could charge and hold a charge. A long phone call verified the batteries are working much better than the old, worn batteries. FYI, ONE of the same battery pack costs $23 at Best Buy yet I got FOUR of these for under $10.

Ordered a Canon SX40 HS somehow missing in my research the camera is discontinued. Got a prompt call (two days which were over a weekend) from Photo-4-Now that it was discontinued and would I accept a Canon XS50 HS in it's place? I said yes but researched right away to determine if I would have to cancel my order or not. As Photo-4-Now said, the two cameras are comparable for my usage. The price is a little cheaper for the SX50 HS but not by a large amount. Got it very quickly (two days before any NewEgg stuff ordered at the same time!). Air pillows on 3 of 6 sides of Canon camera box but nevertheless the outside box appears to have had no hard shocks so it looks OK. Minimally checked out camera - it looks new and works as advertised. 1 egg off for incorrect product webpage offering and for the small cost difference. Would order from this company again.
