Pros: 32 megs cache, less platters, quiet. PCB does not have any surface-mounted components exposed. My sustained speeds with this are 108MB/sec vs my 7200.10 AE firmware 320 gig which was 73 MB/sec. Windows Vista Experience for Hard Disk went from a 5.7 to a 5.9

Cons: Burst speed is slower, but from my understanding, sustained speed is more important. My burst speed for my 7200.10 was 141 MB/sec vs 86 MBsec for my 7200.11.

Overall Review: Sorry, too lazy to load hard drive tach..........official reviews are pretty much spot on the money.

Pros: None, board arrived DOA.

Cons: DOA. Tried 3 power supplies, 2 video cards, 3 sets of RAM and two processors, ALL known to be working goood previously. System will not POST or emit beep codes. Have cleared CMOS as well as removed CMOS battery. Neither onboard video or dedicated card POSTs.

Overall Review: Wait for more reviews from other Guinea pigs before you drop your money on this to see if my board was just a fluke or if there's a trend.

Pros: Cheap, will seal existing bags, for example, if you open a bag of chips, you can reseal the same bag. Any bag that has a from-factory heat seal can be resealed. You can use it to suck air out of zip lock bags before zipping them up. I now buy steak in bulk, saving about $1.50/pound of Ribeye.

Cons: Loud, but I'm not trying to seal food in a library

Overall Review: Wish there was a suction tube you could add on to suck air out of tupperware containers.

Pros: So I made a bonehead move and forgot to take the drive out of my pocket and it went in the washer.......and then to the dryer, where it fell apart.....it survived.........can you believe that!

Cons: Should have an alarm saying "Hey stupid, don't remove me from your shorts before you throw them in the hamper!!!"

Overall Review: Read/Write speeds are pretty good, even on USB 2.0. The fact that it still works and I didn't loose any data is amazing, especially with the PCB seperating from the housing, tossing in the dryer unprotected with the heat.

Pros: Quality of the pearls was flawless. All pearls were round with no flaws. We bought a set from Zales for my daughter-in-law's graduation because it was short-notice and we paid twice as much and that set didn't look half as good as this set we bought from Newegg.

Cons: The clasp broke, but I was able to fix it. The pearl quality more than made up for it.

Overall Review: I bought this for my GF and she was extremely pleased with it. FYI, most black pearls are dyed. You gotta pay thousands to get true, natural black pearls. That being said, the layman wouldn't know that these were dyed because the quality is soo good.

Pros: This is my 2nd Heng Long tank, the first being a Jagdpanther and if you decide to get the Stug as your first tank you won't be disappointed. The tank is a great runner out of the box and you won't need to do any upgrades to it. This version is the Smoke and Sound with gun recoil, not the airsoft model. She turns on a dime, and the gearbox didn't need going through. The fit/finish/details are excellent. Stock battery life should be good due to the lightness of this model. You still need to purchase the IR receiver plug-in from another vendor if you want to do IR tank battles with it.

Cons: Mine came with the 1st-revision RX-18 board, which doesn't have the additional MOSFET daughterboard that reduces channel blowing. I'm not too concerned as the tank is very light and I don't see overheating being a problem, especially since the middle mating area of the top and bottem chasis has gaps (probably on purpose for venting) to let air in, but this could also allow dirt to enter the chasis and get into the gearbox, so be careful with your off-road/wet-condition excursions. Newegg needs to start stocking replacement parts/upgrades if they want to be the one-stop shopping place for RC tanks. They also need to start carrying the other models such as the metal upgrade 'Super' editions as well as both airsoft and IR battle models. My stug was gray, which I prefer, but there are other colors of each tank, and it would be nice if Newegg stocked each color.

Overall Review: This tank isn't as off-road worthy as my Jagpanther, but still make it through my thick St. Augustine grass. It's due to the lighter weight and thinner tracks. The nature of the suspension shocks on the front and rear rolling wheels keep the arms in line with the idler/sprocket and prevents tracks from coming off. Once again, I highly recommend this model if you don't want to tinker/upgrade/fix, unlike my Jagdpanther which needed upgrades to run good. The only thing I see upgrading in the future is the rear idler, which uses a soft metal screw on brass, which wears quckly. This is true of the idlers on most Heng Long tanks. The good thing is that the mounting for the idler is replaceable vs other models where you screw directly into the chasis. Upgrading the idler/sprocket should be less of an ordeal than other models. Newegg does need to start carrying the hop-up and spare items for these tanks if they want to be the one-stop shopping vendor for RC tanks.
