TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB
Pros: worked great right out of the box. have 9 of these now and no failure on any. Running several raid 5, quiet cool and decent price
Cons: None yet.
ASROCK MB so so
Pros: Board is rock solid, runs cool and quickly, love the Bios, Very power efficient
Cons: Onboard sound wont work. Seems to be a pattern with these boards, tried to RMA through asrock 3x never got answer back. so i bought a external sound card and shut off the onbard audio. works fine.
Overall Review: would have given it 5 eggs had the audio worked. like the board and will order another one however will order sound card with it.
Great Product for the $$
Pros: Nice Features, software actually works and has room for 50+ cameras, good value,
Cons: The manual is in broken English and I had to make educated network guesses at setup, took about 10 minutes had it up and running.
Overall Review: Would have given 5 eggs except for the manual instructions.
AE6000 is NOT for windows 8.1
Pros: Probably would be some if it worked
Cons: It will make your 5ghz network disappear in windows 8.1 which is the standard windows product. It's been out over a year and there is no update for 8.1 drivers, imagine your surprise when you plug it in and your 5ghz network is gone.
Overall Review: after reading linksys forums it appears to be a widespread problem that has been known for a while. it will work on some 8.1 machines if they had it installed before the 8.1 update.
Case is good Wires are short
Pros: nice case, slim line, simple and easy to use
Cons: I'll have to knock off an egg for the motherboard pin wiring it was way to short for an Intel dh77df motherboard, wouldn't reach the pins. Be careful which motherboard you order and check the pin placement for hdd light power reset switch etc. also had to remove the power supply to get the motherboard installed properly. a tad bit tight fit.
Overall Review: Over all not a bad case, if you plan on using an pci-e video card be careful as well, there is no clearance for a fan on the card. had to knock off an egg for that as well.
try something else
Pros: nice unit packing well and good design
Cons: Extremely poor documentation, examples and explanations no external antenna if you want to use 2.4ghz you must purchase one separately (in the fine print). did not connect at the range projected. 600ft.
Overall Review: revamp the user interface, make the manual more usable instead of in broken English. specify connection ranges, heights and distances you would have a good product.
