Pros: I've had this printer for a little over two years and it has worked great. It prints quickly, the toner it came with is still working without issue (although the 'low toner' light has been on for many months, haha) and its wireless functionality is a nice touch. I'm extra happy because of my shell shocker price tag ($92 + free shipping). If you don't need this thing urgently, Newegg has it on sale every few months for around that great price.

Cons: The wireless functionality was an absolute pain for the first 6-8 months, because whenever the DHCP lease expired and it grabbed a new LAN IP, all of my machines had a heck of a time finding it in order to realize it was online. I constantly had to go into the printer's tools screen, tell it what IP it now has, and only then would it be found. This was resolved finally when I went to Brother's website and found this great little tool called "BRAdmin Light", which is software (Windows only) that lets you view and modify the advanced network settings of the printer itself. Once I got that, I was able to go in and easily set up a static IP for it (which is easy - my computers all ask for a specific IP from the router) and from then on, a few seconds after I turn it on (after it finishes its boot-up sequence), it is detected perfectly. Another small issue: it's annoying when asking about firmware updates. I run the update, it says it was successful, but then sometimes when I go to use it later, it asks to get that same firmware update again. It's a minor inconvenience, though.

Overall Review: Initial setup of wireless can be a little cumbersome. I figured it out, but novice users may have issue getting that functionality to work. It works fine with my PCs (Win 7 x64 and Win Vista x86), but my brother notes that it's very finicky with Linux (Ubuntu / Mint). He had to eventually install the drivers for another Brother printer (same series but not exact same model) in order for it to work, which makes his computer interface with the printer fine, except no duplex printing.

Pros: The bottom line: this isn't the fastest USB 3.0 drive, but it's faster than USB 2.0 -- given the price point I got it for ($11), I certainly didn't expect miracles. It delivered on my expectations. I still only rate it 3 because rating it higher isn't fair -- future readers should be aware that it likely WON'T meet their speed expectations Tested with: a single 1.1 GB file Measured using: stopwatch / calculator (not relying on software for MB/sec) USB 2.0 write = 8.58 MB/sec USB 2.0 read = 31.9 MB/sec USB 3.0 write = 10.94 MB/sec USB 3.0 read = 69.7 MB/sec So there are the raw numbers, folks -- approx a 27% write improvement. Meh. But in terms of reads, more than twice as fast. Good enough for me. Given that I have a bunch of old USB 2.0 flash drives lying around that barely write at 3 MB/sec these days, this thing beats them all hands down, even over the legacy 2.0 interface. However, one thing to note: this thing mounts and unmounts quickly, which is a big plus. I have a Kingston DataTraveler 100 G2 8GB (one generation older; USB 2.0) and not just are the speeds PATHETIC on that last-gen drive, but it takes forever to do simple plug-and-play initialization. Here, the G3 is triumphant.

Cons: As the stats show above, the write speeds were not that much faster than USB 2.0 -- and that will be WAY MORE obvious if you copy a ton of tiny files. I tested "best case scenario" with a single large file. If you want a drive that gets closer to the rated USB 3.0 speeds, you generally need to invest more. You get what you pay for.

Overall Review: At this price point, I certainly did not expect to be the best of its class... as stated in other reviews, speeds are closer to USB 2.0 than 3.0 in some circumstances. Either way, it's a solid buy if you set your expectations accordingly.

Pros: I've had it since May (so about 7 months) with four WD 4TB Reds and I'm quite pleased with it. On a hardware level, it was quite easy to install the drives and they feel secure. The fan is very quiet, and the HDD activity isn't too loud (the fans in my desktop near it are louder, anyway) On a software level, their interface is nice. The selection of apps isn't huge, but it works. To get some of them working just right, you need to have some command line skills. It's very functional if you don't have, but some of the little tweaks are nicer if you do. Initial setup was easy enough, and I was up and running with it in a RAID 5 config in no time. Overall, a decent and user-friendly set-up process. I like that it has dual Gig ports although I haven't utilized the second for duplexing, fallover, or dual IP.

Cons: The thing is about the transfer speed is that I guess it's limited by how Windows can communicate with it? Via SMB or whatever it is? I get about 35 MB/sec but my brother hooked up another linux-based server to my router and was able to xfer between the two via its native NFS at the full 100 MB/sec+ -- I have yet to find a way to take advantage of this in Windows. Even if I use NFS, it looks like Windows does some 'calculations' since its not native, and gets nowhere near the 1 Gbps throughput. While it's easy enough to install the drives, a tool-less mechanism would also be nice.

Overall Review: I will note that I don't use most of its functionality. I just wanted a standalone RAID 5 NAS. I don't use auto-backup or sync, photo station, music station, etc.... I don't use it as a streaming media server... I don't encrypt, etc -- so take my review as it is. It's a place to store data and access it easily from both LAN and WAN, and it has solid indicators so I know if a drive is failing or has outright failed.

Pros: This enclosure does its job without any issues. It works both as an external drive and to clone stuff from one drive to another. Solid buy at a solid price.

Cons: The LED is a little obnoxious but its fine -- my last enclosure had the ability to turn off the LEDs with a switch, but it was like 50% more than this one.

Overall Review: I question the longevity as it seems a bit flimsy... but if you take care, I am sure it will last.

Pros: This drive does the trick to move my dad's aging pre-built PC into the modern era. It's certainly not the best SSD on the market in terms of performance, but given his entire system is running off basic Core i3 components, no need to get him the cream of the crop. The Samsung software did the trick without any issues and I'm very pleased. His PC is running a lot more silky smooth now.

Cons: I think all SSDs (regardless of price) should come with a SATA to USB adapter. It's likely a 90 cent add-in cable that could make a huge difference.

Overall Review: I'd recommend it for a basic everyday machine but if you've got a custom rig or a powerhouse, you should be running a premium SSD like the 850 Pro, or something with M.2 if your machine supports it.

Pros: From when I got the card (late 2014) until October 2015, it worked flawlessly. It didn't ever have issues in terms of failing to boot / detect, artifacts, over-heating, loud fan noises, etc. It's a solid card that runs cool and performs great. The lifetime warranty is awesome too (make sure you register it!) if you want that piece of mind.

Cons: About 10 months into the life of the card, mine malfunctioned and wouldn't boot properly. I finally got the replacement video card today, and so I decided to write my review. I wouldn't say the RMA process was TOO annoying, but XFX asks you to do some pretty elaborate troubleshooting that many consumers wouldn't have the means to easily do (such as put a different similarly-powerful GPU in your machine, or put this card in someone else's similarly-powerful desktop) in order to see if the issue 'follows the card'. I told them I couldn't do that (my friends all prefer laptops, and I sold my previous card) and they eventually issued the RMA. The cost to ship the defective card to California (from Toronto) was brutal. It sucks that the "industry standard" is to only cover return shipping. If one of the major video card manufacturers offered only a 3 year warranty but covered two-way shipping on replacements, I think I'd prefer that. I also would have been more impressed with their RMA process if they did the "swap" like many other companies... where they ship you the replacement, you take it out and put the defective one in the box and mail that back. Then my downtime would have been far less. Instead, I had to do all the 'ticket' stuff until they finally issued the RMA, ship it out, wait for them to receive it, wait for them to inspect it, wait for them to process the replacement and mail it out, and then wait for it to ship 3,900 km to me. All in all, I was without my 270X for nearly 40 days. I know tech products aren't perfect, but it still soured me a bit. Whatever. I'm done talking about that. It's a great card. Replacement works well. I'm just glad to be back up and running.

Overall Review: I don't like to review things a few weeks after purchase because that's not helpful for people who want to know about longevity. Usually I wait at least 12 months before reviewing any item.
