Most Critical Review

Loses connection to drives under prolonged I/O

SYBA USB 3.0 2.5" & 3.5" Dual bay Black SATA III, HDD Docking Station for Easy Clone and Backup, CL-ENC50060
SYBA USB 3.0 2.5" & 3.5" Dual bay Black SATA III, HDD Docking Station for Easy Clone and Backup, CL-ENC50060

Pros: None

Cons: Too lightweight, falls over easily. Drives lose their connection when copying (backups) large numbers of files or fewer but larger files (80GB+). Very annoying. I've tried a variety of 1TB and 2TB drives from various top vendors. I had to switch back to my slower but more reliable Thermaltake BlacX Duet 3GB docking station.

Overall Review: It's minimalist, bare bones design is ultimately its failing. It's too lightweight and easily knocked around, and it can't handle prolonged I/O - possible an overheating problem.

Awesome keyboard !

Microsoft A13-00002S White 104 Normal Keys USB or PS/2 Ergonomic Natural Keyboard Elite
Microsoft A13-00002S White 104 Normal Keys USB or PS/2 Ergonomic Natural Keyboard Elite

Pros: Excellent keyboard as always. I could never go back to the old style, wrist-twister.

Cons: The SPACE bar sometimes doesn't register. Got to hit it harder !

Nothing to brag about.

Cyber Acoustics CA-2100WB 5.8 Watts 2.0 Desktop Speaker System

Pros: Sturdy and reliable.

Cons: No tone controls, poor bass, volume knob is small, too tight and difficult to turn (if you have large hands).

Overall Review: You get what you pay for.

Screws are too small

VANTEC NexStar NST-350UF Aluminum Alloy 3.5" IDE USB2.0 & 1394 External Enclosure
VANTEC NexStar NST-350UF Aluminum Alloy 3.5" IDE USB2.0 & 1394 External Enclosure

Pros: Small, compact and quiet.

Cons: The screws are microscopic ! It took me 10 mins to screw them in after repeated attempts to place them, hold them, drop them, find them, re-insert them, and do this for all 8 screws ! I have big hands and the screws would be too small, even for a watch !

Overall Review: Make sure you have a jewelers screwdriver set (phillips head) before you try to assemble this unit.
