Pros: I use this drive to back up 650 GB of video files. I first wrote all the files from two internal drives and then wrote it back to a new internal 1TB drive with no errors. This drive is quiet, the case is sturdy and does a good job of heat dissipation and I achieved the fastest sustained read/write speeds ever when connected via eSata. Works flawlessly with my two XP editing workstations.

Cons: The blue power/activity LED is a little bright.

Overall Review: I highly recommend this drive. With the eSATA connection its performance is indistinguishable from a fast internal SATA drive.

Pros: Connects securely at both ends. Excellent for connecting thumb drive to smart phone or tablet. Appears to be well made.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I use this to connect USB drive to my Galaxy S3. I did not want a one piece connector because it might damage the micro USB connector on the phone. This short cable eliminates that potential problem.

Pros: Very fast and very quiet. I burned seven single layer DVD discs in succession without a hiccup. Later I copied eight DVD discs which I had burned with my old 4x burner on really cheap discs. They all copied flawlessly at 16x. I've used LITer burners for the last few years and this unit is as quiet as those were loud, it's almost silent.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I highly recommend this burner for backing up large DV video editing projects and for retrieving archived source video files.
