Most Favorable Review

Easy Peasy

Nippon Labs DP-DVI-6 6 ft. DP DisplayPort Male to DVI-D Male Adapter Cable, Black
Nippon Labs DP-DVI-6 6 ft. DP DisplayPort Male to DVI-D Male Adapter Cable, Black

Pros: Satisfies the task of hooking up my Lenovo W520 to a DVI monitor. It has a nifty locking mechanism so it doesn't fall out.

Cons: None so far.

Most Critical Review

If they work, giddyup

WD Red Plus 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s, CMR, 64MB Cache, 3.5 Inch - WD40EFRX

Pros: When they work, everybody is happy

Cons: I've had to RMA 2 of 4 of these drives so far and am waiting on the RMA's.

Overall Review: So far I'm disappointed but will remain optimistic as long as the RMA's keep coming. I'm using these in a drobo 5n. The first drive failed and drobo reported bad things. Second drive failed and drobo reported it had been removed (it wasn't). I ran the second in the WD Diagnostics tool and it failed the quick and extended tests (after 2 hrs).

Very Happy

Pros: Using this in a Lenovo W520 and haven't had any issues. I imaged the original 500gb drive with apricorn.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Had to update firmware, which is always a prudent thing to do so it's not a con.

APEX MJ-16 Black Steel Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case ATX12V SFX 250W Power Supply

Pros: price is right

Cons: I do not like the provided cd/dvd drive rails. the drive does not "snap" in but rather you have to push it against the front lid so that the button is snug. meaning that through it's life, it appears I will need to open it up and push it again back against the button.

love these things

Pros: Can't beat it for the price. My samsung syncmasters 22" finally died and had been using one of these... so I picked up 2 more for trips.

Cons: None
