Pros: Large, cool, quite, easy to assemble/disassemble. Plenty of fans.

Cons: The front e-SATA port was bad. Haven't heard back from manufacturer in 3 days. It is rather big. Can't turn those blasted blue LEDs off without clipping wires. I'm not so excited about the see-through windows (I'm not 12).

Overall Review: I really like this box, I will be annoyed if I can't replace the eSATA.

Pros: Great, except for fan and usb problems

Cons: On reboot, USB sometimes requires power off for a while before rebooting. Big problem is the CPU fan speed. For the first few seconds of boot you hear the normal sound f the CPU running at 100%. But the fan doesn't speed up during operation even when the CPU is 79C. I have tried setting min temp to 50C, max speed temp to 60C, but the fan never budges, even with actual temps at 80C while running handbrake encoding a x.264 video. Manual mode makes no difference. The cpu is definitely hot. I'm getting Hardware Errors in the log and crashes during heavy loads. While it is possible it is the Intel fan, it seems most probable that it is the motherboard.

Pros: None

Cons: Product shipped was from Unnlink NOT from Inteset. Inteset confirms that this is not their product. Product received looks similar, but is an IR receiver transmitter. Not recognized by Linux or Windows 2000. Did not see any mention of the product in a log or tracing device insertion via command line. This thing might even be a simple relay using USB for power.

Overall Review: Would give a rating of zero, but rating inflation forces a one.

Pros: -Cheap - Works most of the time - Supports large disks (at least 8T).

Cons: - You have to search around for modern linux drivers. I'm having to create a patch to run on Ubuntu 18.04 - Crashes every week or so. - What support?

Overall Review: Use to add 8T drives on Ubuntu, not RAID. I have not had much luck finding an adapter to add 4 or more SATA devies with 8T or more capacity. I use this for my movie disks (18T total), which is infrequently written to.

Pros: Recognized by Ubuntu 16.04

Cons: This worked fine for a few weeks but now it is taking my drives off-line. Reboot required to fix. I'm not using RAID, just normal usage. Configuring the jumpers is clumsy, error prone and the instructions don't indicate the physical position of the jumper settings for "on" and "off".

Overall Review: Will not recommend to others due to unreliability.

Pros: Moderate price, lightweight, electronically sound.

Cons: Cheap plastic latch with tiny plastic ears that break easily.

Overall Review: Both drives go offline when a door is opened. Perhaps this is normal, but it is a nasty surprise.
