DOA, we'll see

Pros: high capacity

Cons: DOA

Overall Review: So I need to restore data from 4x2TB RAID green drives that have been humming for 5+ years just fine. Quick format, started restore process, and the drive just failed. Crashed and burned. Rebooted and it came back. Full (slow) format, crashed and burned. We'll see if the replacement works.

Won't buy again

NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Desktop, Internet Splitter, Sturdy Metal, Fanless, Plug-and-Play (GS308)

Pros: None

Cons: Replaced a GS108Tv2 (Kick *** 8-port) because I needed it for something else. Instantly crashes the whole network. Leave it powered, not doing anything for a day... same thing. Put GS108T back in, every thing is fine. Flat layer 2, no funny business in my network (yet).

Overall Review: Spend the money and get a product that works. I am a subject matter expert in networking, and I should have known better.
