Cons: none ... hope it does not break ...

Overall Review: I own six Corsair USB drives (don't ask me why I have that many :o) The best hands down is the 'real' Voyager GT

Most Critical Review

Not worth the money

Dolica WT-0121 Tabletop Tripod
Dolica WT-0121 Tabletop Tripod

Pros: Lightweight

Cons: No extension on the legs, thus it needs a perfect flat surface. If you tilt the tripod your camera makes it tilt as the CoG moved forward or aft.

Overall Review: I should have left it in neweggs warehouse ;)

Charging only

Overall Review: N/A

Replace the fan

areca ARC-1210 PCI-Express x8 SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card
areca ARC-1210 PCI-Express x8 SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card

Pros: Replaced a Promise TX4310 with this one, transmission speeds are way higher. Easy install, drivers and web interface work well. Very reliable (so far).

Cons: Boot up time is pretty long, stock fan is very noisy (see below). Replacing the heatsink is difficult due to the cheap pushpins used. Use extreme care.

Overall Review: Replaced the noisy stock fan with a Scythe SY124010L fan mounted with double face tape and screws on the stock passive heatsink. Difference is night and day. Use it with quad WD10EADS.

Works great on my raid card

Scythe SY124010L 40mm Chipset Fan
Scythe SY124010L 40mm Chipset Fan

Pros: Replaced another 40mm fan that sound like a buzzsaw, this thing is inaudible. Moves a ton of air considering its size.

Cons: Excessive and unecological hard plastic packaging.

Overall Review: Used this tiny fan to replace the noisy one of my areca ARC-1210 PCI-Express x8 SATA II Controller Card. Use the fanless heatsink, take double face tape to cover the center of the fan and screw it on. Works great.
