Works well!
Pros: It works, small form factor, no external power supply needed (or available), lightweight, fast, good capacity.
Cons: I wish it was more than 5400 rpm, but it's still quite fast.
Overall Review: It comes formatted FAT32 - reformat it to NTFS. Simple enough to do.
updated review
Pros: None that I can see
Cons: Doesn't work with MacOS X?
Overall Review: Because Netgear commented on my last review (just a couple days ago), I went and called their support line for help. For the Netgear people who commented on my last review, my ticket # was 23318415. After some wrangling, I was able to update the firmware, and it now seems to work with my iPad (but not the SONOS app), and my MacBookPro still refuses to work with the thing. It's not even getting an IP address (DHCP not working for the Mac). I have never had a problem connecting to any wifi network with my mac before (I've had it 2 years). The best part here was that after they helped me get the FW upgraded, they told me I had to buy a $200 support contract to get more support for my $50 wifi extender!!! Really? It's never worked, and they won't help me getting it working? Their opinion was that since it works with the iPad, that there must be something wrong with my Mac - well, my Mac works great everywhere else. There's something clearly wrong about the Netgear extender. I've had other Netgear products before, and have been generally satisfied, but not so with this one! I'll be avoiding Netgear in the future.
One out of 4 DOA
Pros: The ones that work are cooler in the NAS (iomega ix2-200) than the old drives were. Pretty quiet also.
Cons: From other posts, they seem to have a high DOA rate. I'm wondering how long they'll last in service. :(
good inexpensive keyboard
Pros: Inexpensive yet built well - it has some heft to it (not like a toy), has a full-size backspace key (hated my last one for that small backspace key!), and quieter action. It feels good to type on. No nametag on it either - just plain black.
Cons: None yet
great price!
Pros: This is a great price - currently only $0.20 more than the HP employee discount price! The lowest on the 'net.
Cons: The MSRP is really not $59.
Overall Review: Go newegg!
Item never shipped; still waiting for UPS pickup from shipper
Although it says newegg is the shipper, a UPS label was created, but UPS never received the package. Now I have to wait for it to time out so I can "return" the item I never got and re-order it? It's a christmas present, and now I likely won't have it on time. :(
