Pros: Often times something cheap is a risk because of poor workmanship. This very simple part was made well. The holes matched my drive. The assembled part fit in the 3.5" bay just fine. Couldn't ask for more

Cons: none

Pros: It seems to work well, though I thought setting up the RAID1 array was hard to follow. The directions that came with the board were not as good as the RAID directions that come from AMD. Use those. Runs pretty cool. I like the way it's built. No I/O panel insert. It just flushes against the I/O panel hole in the case.

Cons: Right now, on the latest prod BIOS (F30) and the latest BIOS (F31j), if the machine goes into standby/sleep, the RAID disappears. I have a bunch of photos on this machine, so if the storage is not reliable then I am hesitant to use the machine. Google searches turn up the problem, but not a fix. I'm disappointed. I've submitted a ticket to Gigabyte. Let's see if they have a fix.

Overall Review: It's OK, but if you're looking for a reliable board, this is not it...yet.

Pros: Functional design.

Cons: Not enough amperage to drive the devices I use. Useless for connecting to an iPhone and other similar, power consuming devices. I bought a USB 2.0 hub with a 4A power supply and that works fine.

Pros: It works. As advertised.

Cons: None. Ya get what you expect.

Pros: It does what it says. I can't complain too much (see the con). Voice quality is good. I don't do much international calling, when I do, it's to Canada at $0.014 a minute, which I think is cheap. The connection of the appliance was straightforward, for the most part.

Cons: The down-side was that the address of my PC changed on the network since the ooma box sits in-between the PC and the network hub. So, ooma gets its IP address from the router and the PC gets its IP address from the ooma. I had to change some of the bookmarks and other addresses on the PC to directly address other devices on the network. So, instead of addressing my NAS drive with the host name, I have to address it with the numeric IP address. It's not a hardship, but it took me a while to figure it out. I could run another network cable back to the hub dedicated to the ooma, and I think then there would be no issues at all, but I'm too lazy to do that.

Overall Review: ooma is only as good as your internet connection (duh!). I kept my landline and went to the cheapest phone plan I could ($14/month) so that my wife, who is not particularly technical, could dial out in an emergency. I also cut back on my cellular phone bill since we do all our long distance calling on ooma now.

Pros: SATA connections are easy to manage

Cons: The support of the drive is minimal in linux, but more importantly the eject button is not working consistently. I will attempt to get it serviced but the warranty period is not clear and not stated in the document that came with the drive, nor on the LG website. I'm getting a sneaking suspicion that I'm gonna get hosed on this...for a $200 drive. I'm very disappointed
