Pros: - Works with no additional drivers on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with kernel 5.15.0-118. Plug and play. - Provides a pair of 10Gbps ports as advertised.

Cons: Runs at PCIe 2x in my system instead of 4x as advertised, according to lspci. It's verified to be plugged into a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, so should have no trouble getting the 2 additional PCIe lanes... but appears to be running in a slower mode. I don't have a spare system to test this in, so I haven't yet confirmed whether the card can run with more lanes elsewhere or not... but I'm not immediately getting the advertised connection rate. For me this isn't a dealbreaker, and it's no issue at all if you only plug in one USB port. But if you really do have two actual 10Gbps devices taking up both ports (I do, a pair of 5-bay drive enclosures) you could get rate-limited by bus-bandwidth as PCIe 3.0 x2 only provides something like 12.8Gpbs of bandwidth after encoding overhead. I rarely push that much disk traffic though, and I'm ok getting capped by the bus on the rare-cases it might happen. I math this out before purchase though and specifically pick a slot that would get the full card bandwidth though... so it's a bit sad to see it randomly run at half-speed as the card is supposed to be able to provide the full-rated speed to both ports simultaneously and I won't see that.

Overall Review: Solid choice, and hopefully another reviewer will confirm that it does in-fact work at PCIe 4x and my situation is a quirk.

Pros: None

Cons: 1) Mounting Screws are missing. 2) Terrible design. No line of site to most of the holes, making it annoying and difficult screw in. 3) Inflexible mounting options. The brackets are short and have insufficient flexibility in where you screw them into the drive. As a result, the drive is sticking way out of the mounting bay and is wedged up to a molex plug on the motherboard, putting pressure and slightly deforming it.

Overall Review: I never thought I'd bother to review a drive mount, but this is terrible.

Pros: Dunno, couldn't plug it in.

Cons: Has no power connector, just a pair of bare/stripped black wires. The product specifications state "2-pin power connector". The photos (perhaps intentionally?) do not display the end of the power wires at all, leaving the customer to imagine a standard 2-pin connector at the end of the wires. Instead there is no connector at all, each wire ends with a bare/stripped section of bare wire.

Overall Review: Would not recommend unless you have spare 2-pin connectors lying, which I don't... so this is garbage to me and because it's internationally shipped I wasted weeks of time waiting for shipping.

Pros: To be updated when I order a unit.

Cons: To be updated when I order a unit.

Overall Review: Please post when if you receive a rev-b1 edition of this unit from newegg. It is a totally different atheros-based hardware platform that is supposed to be supported by the open-source firmwares like openwrt, tomato, and dd-wrt. The revision can be found both on the bottom of the box near the serial/model numbers, and on the bottom of the unit itself. The original units are rev-a1, and the new atheros-based units are rev-b1. It's hard to believe that d-link released an update this significant without a new sku, it makes purchasing very frustrating.

Comments: In addition to lacking proper hot-plug support, this enclosure is not able to coexist with other devices on the firewire bus (tested on computers from three different major manufacturers running FC4, MacOS Panther, and WinXP). I would be wary of enclosures using the prolific chipset, many have had problems with it. See attached link for details

Comments: The back of the box prominently warns that plugging/unplugging Firewire and USB cables while the enclosure is powered on can damage the installed disk. I consider that a major flaw, and imagine that it must violate the Firewire and USB standards. Plus the case doesn't look nearly as sleek in person as it does in the photos. I wouldn't purchase this enclosure again. Mike
