Still running 4 and a half years later

Pros: By now this isn't anything special for a drive, back in 2010 it was a large capacity, fairly high performance drive. I've been running a system off it (now a living room media machine) essentially 24/7 since August of 2010. It's been a very reliable drive.

Cons: none

Most Critical Review

Fried on me after 10 weeks

Logitech Z506 75 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers
Logitech Z506 75 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers

Pros: Decent sound. They aren't audiophile quality, but they are better than some of the other similarly priced options I listened too.

Cons: I turned them on tonight, only had them 10 weeks, and got a nice loud pop, the power LED went out and that was it. So it's likely that a fuse blew. Why, I don't know, they are in a good quality surge suppresser (not a UPS, just a good Belkin surge strip). I've never had a set of speakers go out, never had a fuse on anything go in this house (I have clean power). Contacted Newegg about a return, but they refused an RMA because I don't have original packaging anymore. First time I have ever had a return hassle with Newegg as well. I'm not letting that affect the product rating though.

Overall Review: The speakers, assuming they wouldn't have blown out after 10 weeks would have been a 4 egg rating. But I can't rate that low of quality, even if I just got a tetchy fuse, higher than a 2.
