Umm, really?

IOGEAR GUB211 USB 2.0 Printer Auto Sharing Switch
IOGEAR GUB211 USB 2.0 Printer Auto Sharing Switch

Pros: Newegg shipped quick and was great as always!

Cons: Well, I guess I was expecting a bit more from it. I purchased this to share a memory stick between two xboxes (to share a live profile and saved games). I did read that it needs drivers to share between two computers at the same time when using a storage device. I figured that since only one xbox would be on at a time, it should be able to switch between them, since only one will be supplying power at a time. Unfortunately, this device will no do that. It will only share to the left device, even if the power is coming from the right device, and nothing is plugged into the left side.

Overall Review: Time to build my own...

Pros: Fast and Quiet

Cons: None

Overall Review: 3 of these in a RAID 5 configuration. Whisper quiet, even during strenuous read/write sessions. As said before, make sure you remove the jumper to get the higher speeds!
