Pros: Quick and easy to install Works great with Linux OS Just enough SATA ports to set up a RAID Good cost/value ration

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: I feel this is a great board for any small form factor system. I coupled this with a 3400G and 32 GB of RAM with four 4TB drives in a Chenboro case and this does everything I needed it for.

Pros: inexpensive

Cons: After 1 week I was unable to write to the drive. I had bought this originally as a secondary data drive to house a VM on. Not multiple VMs, not a ton of files, just 1 VM. It worked fine for the first day. After the second or third day it started pitting (that's when you hear the head bouncing off the platters.... tick, tick, tick). At the end of the first week, the drive would no longer allow for updates to the VM. I tried spinning up a new VM, and it would hang, so I switched the files to my C:\ and voia! it worked Tried recreating again on this drive and nothing. Hard hang for about 10 minutes then an error. The price may be right, but you get what you pay for. Stay away.

Overall Review: I was thinking when I bought this, not to. I should have trusted my gut.

Pros: Fast data transfer speeds, excellent to swap data between my tablets and PCs

Cons: Small, and I keep forgetting where I placed them

Overall Review: I used these to create bootable media for imaging systems. On my USB 2.0 drives it would take close to 40 minutes to copy the data, but with these, I am getting the data transfer completed in about 10 minutes.
