Pros: Plug n Play with Win 2K (no drivers needed) very fast transfers with external HDDs.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I think it took longer to open the package then it did to get it up and running: Installation instructions: Insert card, turn on PC. I threw into an old P-III 500, running Windows 2000, on a standard PCI/33 bus. Data transfers to an external USB 2.0 hard drive is lighting fast. If you have older non-USB 2.0 PC, this card is a no brainer at this price. My only regret – I didn’t buy two!

Pros: Worked on Win 7 -64 Pro. To some extend, it did what it promised, seemed well made, firmware updates & software updates (a must!) worked. Software actually worked fairly well.

Cons: Dated. Limited resolutions. For some odd reason, no native video Win 7 support (need to use their software) The specs are somewhat confusing, e.g., what monitors today go as low as 50Hz.?

Overall Review: I had the hardest time getting the DVI input to work with consistency. I used a tested good DVI-D cable, as well as the (very short) one provided. Ended up using the VGA input (it was for general office use, no gaming). Bottom line: I consider this a legacy product, designed well before big wide screens were the norm. Like I said, I got it to work on Win 7-64, but I wouldn't do it again. Remember, the max. resolution is split by the number of outputs you use.

Pros: Good design, good PSU, Haswell compatible. Kudos to NewEgg for double boxing!

Cons: NO front USB 3.0, pretty much standard today. If not for that, it would be a 5 star. Also, and this is very minor, In-Win is kinda cheap with assembly screws, you'll more than likely need more than they give you.

Overall Review: In-Win makes great cases, most importantly, they use very good PSU's. We use them as much as we can, and will continue to do so. Kudos to NewEgg for double boxing, as these take a beating in shipping, as we've received more than a few with dents on them in the past.

Pros: In-Win has a reputation for good designs, & good PSUs.

Cons: No front USB 3!

Overall Review: Everyone uses flash drives these days, and the speed different from USB 2 to USB 3 is significant, especially when transferring large amounts of data. Sure, you could reach behind the case, but who wants to do that? As to the "optional" USB 3 connector, why bother, just get a case that has it.

Pros: Gigabyte reliability. Used several already, no problems except for one (see below). Driver installation is a breeze. Egg shipped me rev 2.0, there is a rev. 3.0 out, assume it'll make its way into stock once the rev. 2.0's are gone.

Cons: Minor: one had a bad CMOS battery.

Overall Review: Only one had a minor problem: After power off, power strip off, reboot would say "BIOS settings reset...", and reset to defaults, which mean IDE instead of AHCI, and Windows would crash unless you changed the setting to AHCI. Turned out to be a bad CMOS battery. Not a big deal, just alerting others in case you see this problem.

Pros: Works...

Cons: NOISY! Vibrates @ high speed!

Overall Review: DVD/RW drives haven't changed in years, they're cheap, all do the same thing, so for the same price, why not get one that's quiet? I won't be buying this one again.
