Pros: No cap! I love the sliding mechanism. It was a bit stiff pullin git back but that was due to tight tolerances, not a cheap build. It has a good feel, very solid. The casing has grips on the sides and it's big enough for American hands. No fumbling. There is no software on the drive. It has an easy to see blue activity light. Corsair has a good reputation so it's hard to go wrong with this. The packing says it has a 5 Year limited warranty, however the inner paper in the packaging says Australian buyers may get a different warranty. Perhaps that is an Australian regulation.

Cons: I ran some simple, straightforward tests using the same 256MB file on the same PC: In a USB 2 slot, the Slider ran at 10.5 MB/s transfering the 256MB file. (It averaged 8.25MB/s on larger 546MB file.) In a USB 3 slot, I was surprised to find that it ran slower than in the USB 2 slot. It ran at 9.2 MB/s transfer 256MB file, (it averaged 9.2MB/s on the same larger 546MB file) However, that may be due to the USB 3 driver on the PC that was used. More below.

Overall Review: For comparison, I also tested using the same file on an ancient Verbatim Store-N-Go; a 512MB thumbdrive. It topped out at 3.8MB/s. I was very dissappointed to learn that my 16GB Kingston DataTraveler G3 topped out at 2.8MB/s in the same test. Disclosure: I tested the Slider on a whitebox: Q9550 on a G41U3G, Windows 7 x64, 8GB DDR3-1333, SATA 2 7200RPM. Yes, I'm aware there are a host of variables involved but I wanted to test it using an ordinary file of mixed media. The thumb drives tested had no other files on them. I have no connection of any kind to any memory manufacturer.

Pros: Previous Seagate drives have proven to be reliable for me. I like them also because Seagate, at least at this time, doesn't program the firmware to block RAID use, forcing you to buy a more expensive drive.

Cons: I just opened the shipping carton from NewEgg. The retail box was inside. The Seagate hologram seal on the retail box was cut open. I called NE to return it but was told they have to open the retail box to record the UPC. (it's on the outside of the box) Then she said they have to open it to record the drive serial number. BUT, the drive was still sealed in the antistatic bag. Maybe they can scan through the bag? Why would they do that when both the UPS and the drive serial number are available on the factory Seagate label on the outside of the retail box?

Overall Review: It's disturbing. There is a bar code on an inside flap, but it doesn't seem to correspond with anything and it was printed when the retail box was made, it's not a label. The large cartons that Seagate ships (with a dozen?) its retail drives in have a label on the outside listing the serial numbers of all the retail boxes inside it.

Pros: The computer has all the specifications promised. It was well-packaged and neat. It is clean and in very good condition. It runs perfectly. It self-tested perfectly. I deal with computers on this level every day and this is a good one. It is a small form factor, but still big enough to sit a monitor on it. This is how to buy a computer. You can't build a better computer for less.

Cons: 1) I'm upset about the slow shipping. Ordered it Friday morning and it didn't arrive until Thursday night. It was sent via FedEx. 2) The key sticker was curled up on the ends. It looked like it had been removed from another computer and stuck on this one. The Microsoft certified refurbs I have seen have a X on one key sticker and a new refurb key sticker attached. 3) Price is OK, but any higher and I would have bought a different one.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone. Note: There are only two SATA connectors on the motherboard. These are SATA 3. Just a notice for you. The tower-size usually has four.

Pros: -Absolutely brand-new although mine said it was supposed to be open box. It couldn't see the evidence. -Well made, nice materials. Could have been Apple-level quality if the plastic body pieces fit just .25 mm tighter. Still very nice. -Bright flashlight -Simple to use -Comes with small white USB cable (not for Apple) -Works with any micro-USB cord -Awesome Godzilla logo

Cons: -Minor complaint: Their isn't any good way to carry the small USB charging cable it comes with. If I plug it in, the unit turns blue, which supposedly means it is discharging the battery. Maybe a velcro strap? -The neon pale-yellow color is growing on me but, it was a free gift add-on to a purchase I made, so I won't complain, plus If you misplace it, it is easy to find! -This isn't meant to be a full-replacement for a cell phone battery. It's enough to run as a quick, emergency backup.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone.

Pros: You're getting the best price hands-down. A ton of features for the money. Outer construction is good. Nothing flimsy.

Cons: You get what you pay for. It worked great for about 11 months then the wireless radio failed. We placed another one that had to be used as an AP only and that is not possible with this model.

Overall Review: It seems like all wireless routers are built to over-heat and die. If they were serious about the circuitry hardware and the life of the unit they would put a fan in it. The key here is to find a wireless router that uses quality circuitry and keeping it from running hot 24/7.

Pros: Price/Performance/Capacity equation is excellent according the manufacturer's advertising and other reviews here. I gave it a star just for that.

Cons: I wasted hours. It was not recognized on any of 3 different kinds of computers. Brick. The wasted time was my fault for not testing it immediately. Yeah, I know, I know.

Overall Review: Chances are good you won't have this problem, but no more Mushkin for me.
