Pro's and Con's
Pros: Great heatsink. Keeps the cpu nice and cool even under large loads. (Giggity) nice design, found it easy to install. I have installed 4 of these already for people that don't want to hassle with water cooling.
Cons: The fan really does suck and whines a lot. But I always purchase a nice Cougar 4pin fan for this. Cougar fans are very nice and quiet.
Overall Review: People rate really low for how big the thing is. Ever look at the picture and think; Well gee it is the same size as a 120mm fan, maybe I should check to see if I have room?
Worked for awhile
Pros: Very fast. Power adapter, USB 3.0 and 2.0 support.
Cons: Been about a year and the device went out. will power things up but no connection to the computer. used a brand new cable, which didn't solve anything. checked usb ports (3.0) on pc and no prob there.
Overall Review: very fast. not worth the money. i have always had issues with Lacie products.
WOW
Pros: Awesome fans! I bough 5-6 of them. The technology behind these are amazing, wish other people would use this. They're really quiet and push a lot of air that isn't choppy. I had a 120mm fan on my CPU heat sink that I replaced with the 4pin version and it took my case noise down to a minimum. I would recommend these to anyone that doesn't want to buy water cooling.
Cons: None so far!
Overall Review: Like I said before, I ordered some 3pin and some 4pin fans all 120mm, they essentially are the same quality. running 4 120mm fans in my case and I barely can hear them running. Totally worth $20 apiece
Lasted about a Year
Pros: Nice power. stable. Replaced two CAPS after squealing started and voltages started to dip. caught it before it did any serious damage.
Cons: Went out after a year. I opened it up and replaced the two bad CAPS and now its back up and running.
Overall Review: After replacing the two Capacitors on the board which caused Oscillation. works great again. caught it in time! heard a faint squealing from the transformer inside. the next day it was really loud. checked voltages and they were so bad i am surprised it started up.
This is Cisco... Really?!
Pros: Tons of options, great transfer speeds. Gigabit Ethernet.
Cons: Worked fine until 2 months later. Will work for 20min or sometimes a full 24 hours then the radio will shutdown.
Overall Review: I think it has to do with power adapter. Giving off way more voltage then it supposed to do. I also reflowed the solder joints on it to see if that helps. but more likely no. I will change out the power adapter with a properly rated one. Maybe even a Cisco power injector.
Sucks!
Pros: affordable 16GB.
Cons: Bad stick'(s). Blue screen of death.
Overall Review: I wouldn't buy this.
