Most Critical Review

It is absolutely beautiful, but.... (Coolermaster HAF 912 case)

Pros: -Absolutely beautiful.

Cons: -Did not natively fit my coolermaster HAF 912 case. In order to get it to fit I had to take a soldering iron and melt off the bottom screw holes. Then I had to take a dremel and remove a pair of interior fins on the front of the case.

Overall Review: -Although I wasn't happy with the process, the end result is fantastic. Just felt there could be more disclosure on this product.

worked for a while

Worked at first

Pros: Nothing overly complicated, unless you run into a problem.

Cons: Their technical support site is so difficult. I am getting a red light on the motherboard and it won't boot. I just want some help to fix this.

Overall Review: Needs to make support easier.

Within a day it failed.

Pros: Its fast for its cost efficiency.

Cons: Bought it to replace my ageing Corsair 120gb sata II and Vista with a brand new 240 GB windows 8.1 sata III. I don’t understand why I have to explain what a disappointment this is. Everything seemed fine at first. Windows install went okay. I had to reboot to save some changes. When first installed, rebooting was done in a flash. Then it hung on the Windows logo screen. And just stuck there, no movement. I figured that was weird, so I rebooted again, now no boot device. Why can’t they develop reliable hardware? Decided to reinstall windows again, which meant more of my time wasted, and isn’t easy for someone with a disability, and it will not keep the installation. It just loses the data. I don’t understand why I have to explain this and waste my time.

Overall Review: I do no understand why I have to explain these problems. If you are not going to do it right why do it at all?

One minor error ruined it.

Pros: it works as a switch

Cons: Unbelievable, something basic got bungled. The holes for wall mount screws were not done correctly TrendNet!!! how did you get this wrong??? Try checking with an actual screw and you will no what i mean. The design was too narrow! How do you miss this?
