Pros: This is an amazing little machine. The only moving part is the hard drive. It's extremely silent and draws very little power. I can leave this powered on 24/7, mounted on the back of an Acer H213H-Bmin I purchased on Newegg and draw as much power a 60Watt bulb. Hooks up via HDMI, and modifying the audio out in control panel lets the audio come through the HDMI cable. Amazing.

Cons: The Intel i945 chipset draws more power than the processor. Intel needs to come up with a chip that draws less power. The HDD is externally accessible, but replacing it voids the warranty.

Overall Review: I am using this PC to replace an AMD K7-750Mhz with an ATI Radion 7500 as a CCTV security server. There are multiple cameras streaming to the EEE 206, and the display is running VLC to stream RTSP to the LCD. I have VLC set to use the Windows CODECs which is faster but not default. It can stream my AXIS cameras as 640x480 at 30FPS no problem. My Axis207MW can stream 1280x1024 at 12FPS, which is a limit of the camera, not the EEE. The ATOM 1.6Ghz is about the same speed as a modern Celeron 900, which is plenty of power for most people. The HD output relies upon software sending the decoding to the ATI video card. Streaming HULU is ok until I go full screen, at which point the processor can't keep up. The HD is designed to be used with EEE's media software. Asus needs to sell these with XP PRO, minus the WIFI and remote. If that happened, these could replace the hundreds of desktops that we have at my business.

Pros: Enterprise quality storage. Fails quicker to allow RAID to remove the drive from an array, thus less IO delay when a drive starts to fail.

Cons: I had purchased 10 of the previous model from Western Digital a year and 4 months ago. One of these 10 drives failed. I ordered two of these WD1003FBYX to replace the one failed, as I know the RMA of the failed drive will take some time. I've so far had no one answer the phone at WD on the RMA phone #. I ordered two of these drives as I needed the RAID array back ASAP. The first WD1003FBYX was DOA. It was emitting a high pitch squeel as if a capacitor is bad.

Overall Review: The second drive works. My QNAP 509PRO with the latest firmware wouldn't allow me to add it to the RAID 5 array to replace the failed drive. I had to delete the ARRAY (Lost all data) and recreate it. That's why I have two QNAP509's in a mirror setup, though. With computers one must expect things to fail, and prepare for that.

Pros: Lots of data, inexpensive price.

Cons: I bought 10 of these for use in two devices, each setup with a RAID 5 group. This is used as backup storage, mostly for Symantec BESR. I have owned the first set of five drives for 1 year and 5 months. I am starting to see failures already.

Overall Review: Enterprise Storage, as this drive is, should not fail so quickly. But I suppose this is why we have RAID.

Pros: I have this in my Macbook Pro 3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz. This brought me from 2GB to 4GB which has made a big difference in speed. I often have a huge iTunes library open, which wants to take one GB as well as my online backup software which can take over a GB. Those two alone ate up my 2 GB. Now with four I can run these and bootcamp under Fusion and not be slowed down by page swapping!

Cons: none.

Overall Review: I followed directions on the Internet for installing this. I made very sure I was gentle installing this, and that I had the memory installed correctly. It is easy to install this into a Macbook and have it look correct, but not be all the way seated. Take a digital photo before you remove the old memory and make sure it looks just the same when you have installed the new memory. Having it not seated right is not good on your motherboard.

Pros: FAST, nice looks, Windows 7 boots very quickly. High read/write IOPS

Cons: none.

Overall Review: I bought two of these as well as an OCZ Agility 2 OCZSSD3-2AGT180G. I previously had an OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX30GXXX. The OCZ Vertex firmware upgrade process really was poor. Having installed both this and the Agility 2, the Samsung 470 actually feels faster. The OCZ has quicker sustained MB specs, however the Samsung just feels snappier. This may be because the OCZ only has "up to" 10,000 IOPS whereas the Samsung is 31,000 read IOPS. Being a heavy VM guy, the IOPS really makes the difference in VM speed.

Pros: We have a few hundred machines where I work with SSD. Being PC tech support, I finally upgraded my PC to SSD. I have this running in an HP 6000 PRO with ACHI enabled, and the latest Intel SATA drivers from HP which now support TRIM. This is running a SATA II port. Opening programs is faster than the Barracuda 7200.12 I had, however that is a very fast platter drive so the speed difference wasn't huge. 180GB of SSD is nice to have.

Cons: HT Tune shows only 150MBps through most of the drive, though sections show 200MBps at the end and in the middle. I'm guessing this is an HDTune issue. The drive is fast none the less.

Overall Review: I run Win7 64 EE with VMWare Workstation & Virtual PC. I have a 1 TB drive for most my VMs. The ones on the SSD do perform better. I have to reboot VMs over and over for XenDesktop upgrades, Zenwork app builds, App-V creation... The faster these VMs boot, the more I can get done. I would love to have a 1 TB SSD. One day.
