Wow. Sooo Quiet
Pros: It is modular. It is Bronze level. Most importantly it is so quiet. I had to check it was on when I was setting it up. Very Pleasant suprise.
Cons: none really. It doesn't have a 4 pin mother board connector, but that is rare today.
Overall Review: Very Happy with this purchase. Hope it last.
Doesn't do much
Pros: Very inexpensive. This screen is clear enough. Lightweight. Battery is ok. Plays mp4s smoothly.
Cons: It's so slow it takes a full minute to open up Google. Com. So it useless for browsing. Can'T stream. Sound is VERY low. Can only play avi and mp4s. Tried to load VLC and it crashes. Sometimes won't read the SD card and you have to reboot the device, only when you change cards though.
Overall Review: If you plan to use it for anything other than a player you will be extremely disappointed. Also, make sure all apps are completely closed as the battery will drain to nothing and you will have to reset the clock, calender, etc.
Good Product. Good price for the package.
Pros: Small. On board battery works well. PnP. It's Windows 10 so you know what to expect. Two USBs on the dock.
Cons: The WiFi is weak. The connection drops after a few hours. Has to be manually reconnected. Hopefully drivers may resolve the issue. It has a hard time multitasking, which isn't surprising but the extreme drop in performance was. Can be frustrating when Windows does things in the background and then the video you are watching will start to stutter. Changing tasks to run at another times works, but some tasks are event driven. -No stereo jack. That means HDMI or Bluetooth is the only way to get sound.
Overall Review: The dock fits firmly, but don't wiggle it to get it out. The guide rails are fragile. Wish it had a release button instead of PULL until it gives.
Seems to only work at 3.0 speeds
Pros: It's has a solid feel. Light isn't too annoying
Cons: Haven't been able to get more than 105 MB/s with is what I get with 3.0. I tried it with an add-on 3.1 gen2 card only got 90 MB/s. Tried it with a new HP laptop with 3.1 and again didn't get 3.1. Still not 100% it's the docks fault. My high end laptop top that has 3.1/thunderbolt3 only has a C adapter with didn't come with the doc so I haven't been able to test it. One final test and then it's going back.
Overall Review: --- Update ---- Tested it on a brand new Windows 10 64 with USB 3.1 Gen2 system and still only gives USB 3.0 speeds. Item is being returned as defective.
Rock solid wireless, storage slow
Pros: Excellent wireless range. Small form factor. Reasonably quiet.
Cons: It gets hot. It's 64 in the room its in and you can feel the heat. I'm worried when summer comes.<br>Data transfer is slow from it's drive. Transfers through the router hit 50MB, but reading from the internal drive, 21MB max.<br>The WB to go app for the iPhone stutters A LOT. Can't watch a simple video without it pausing several times.
Overall Review: It doesn't support Jumbo Frames.
decent speed-died
Pros: Pretty decent speeds. Transfer on usb 3 were 24-26mb/sec<br>small size
Cons: Barely 4 months of low use and it's dead. Now to play the RMA game of sending and waiting for the returns.
Overall Review: Got a replacement and it died too. I'm 90% certain it was the same broken drive I sent them.
