Most Critical Review

Fans are loud. There seems to be no control over fan speed

Pros: Cheap. Comes with fans.

Cons: Fans are loud. There seems to be no control over fan speed and do not adjust like the fans in my previous case.

Overall Review: I would spend a little more money to get something nicer.

Do not purchase AMD if wanting a RAID setup

AMD Ryzen 7 1st Gen - RYZEN 7 1700X Summit Ridge (Zen) 8-Core 3.4 GHz (3.8 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4 95W YD170XBCAEWOF Desktop Processor
AMD Ryzen 7 1st Gen - RYZEN 7 1700X Summit Ridge (Zen) 8-Core 3.4 GHz (3.8 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4 95W YD170XBCAEWOF Desktop Processor

Pros: For the price and speed, this is a better value than Intel

Cons: The AMD drivers are extremely undependable and confusing. AMD chipsets doesn't support RAID properly and doesn't support RAID5 at all.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this product for anyone wanting to use a RAID in their system as many media professionals would be looking to do. Not only for value/price, but I bought AMD looking to support the 'underdog.' I even purchased a Radeon Pro card to round out everything AMD... purchasing AMD was a mistake. Now I know why Intel has the market share.

Poor tech support. Doesn't work with Mac

Pros: Cheap and main features work.

Cons: USB HDD over network does not work with Mac OS X. TREADnet has listed on newegg that is OS X compatible but it is not. I wish I would have not waited so long to troubleshoot; I would have sent it back to newegg.

Overall Review: Spend a little more money and get a better router if you want network access to a HDD on a Mac.

waste of money

PNY Quadro 4000 for Mac VCQ4000MAC-PB 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card

Pros: None.

Cons: Doesn't work properly with Premiere CS6 even though it is supposed it. Worse yet, the tech support from all companies is useless.... adobe could care less, PNY doesn't respond, and Nivida, forget about it. They will sure take your money though. I wish I wouldn't have allowed them so much time to respond as now it is to late to send the card back.

Overall Review: I am so angry at the horrible customer service. It would be nice to find a company that still cares for what they are building and take pride in users enjoying their products. It is all bottom line now.

Horrible Design

Pros: Would be better than nothing. ipad app is cool, but not worth the poor design.

Cons: I could not believe how difficult this receiver was to navigate. Sub would not come on with music. The ipad app was cool but big deal. If you were to use the net radio feature and left and came back to it, you would have to search through everything again. Using the HDMI for connected to my laptop was useless... I would have have unplug and replug the HDMI cable from the laptop before the receiver would recognize. Would take time to switch over to different inputs. Sounds Ok. I bought an Onkyo and it is soooooo much better. I could not believe the difference. I thought I was going to have to sick with using my 10 year old Yamaha.
