Nice Cable
Pros: Works with LG G2 phone Samsung Galaxy, and others.
Cons: Can't get it to work with Droid Razr XT912 phone even with USB hub attached, not sure if its the cable or phone, but I suspect its not the cable so I still give it 4 stars
Connecter bad
Pros: Before it broke it worked as expected.
Cons: External connector that cable plugs into broke off circuit board after only minimum use.
Overall Review: I guess the connector must be treated like a thin piece of ice in the sun-shine.
Good and bad
Pros: Lowest price 30". Height Adjustment is nice. Good picture. Very bright. Very big, very nice monitor.
Cons: Incompatible with Nvidia Quadro FX 3500. Would only run 1024x768 or 800x600 with this video card, all other resolutions produced black screen. Confirmed a 3 different systems with the same video card. Replaced card with low end 8500gt and other Nvidia cards and it works fine. I have Dell 3007wfp monitors that work with the Quadro FX 3500 card so I think this is truly an HP problem. Beware of video card incompatibilities!
Overall Review: I gave it one egg for the incompatibility to warn others who are thinking of purchasing this monitor, and possibly save them a day of troubleshooting. If you have a card that works with it, you will be very happy. This is a nice monitor otherwise.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Large storage for small price.
Cons: I found it difficult to open due to lack of grip on the side of the flash drive. Also there is not anyplace to hook a lanyard
Power and data connection problem
Pros: I hear its fast. No experience yet
Cons: The power and data connector are solid linked together. meaning you can't connect a standard SATA power cable from your power supply to this drive, nor will the SAS cable from my LSI Megaraid card connect to the drive. Now I'm at a loss. This drive appears to be made for backplane installation and not stand alone PC mounting.
2 out of 14 errors
Pros: Large capacity, cheap storage, good warranty.
Cons: 2 out of the 15 I have running in a RAID5 have failed.
Overall Review: Not sure if it is the firmware issue that has been mentioned. I've just advanced replaced with Seagate for the $19.99 to get back up and running before another failed. Purchase 15 in 7/08. One died in 11/08, another 04/09. 04/09 drive is firmware SN05.
