Pros: Very easy to install, just install and turn computer on in W8. Seems to have good speeds up to 133 mbps average about 95 . It certainly seems well built and the 18 month warranty speaks for the manufacturer's on commitment and faith in their product.

Cons: none yet

Pros: Seems to work well so far and if heat does not become an issue maybe it will be ok, I do have concerns because it is so small a fan may become necessary nearby or it will run hot.

Cons: Cheaply built and does not include necessary cables, so get ready to spend more if you desire to actually use it. The cable that comes with it is only inches long so it will have to be VERY close to your computer. No where can you expect to place this except exactly next to the computer so may it will have to be on top or on something next to your computer , not long enough to set next to your computer . I had to use a cable I just happened to have, but not esata so the benefit was lost.

Rather cheap to not include all the cables, had i known what would be sent me I would have chosen a better brand, I made a mistake buying this, plus newegg did not state in the discription the limited cables or I would have purchased another cable or chosen a different brand and product. The BOX states the limited cables included, but buying on line does not allow us to read the box and newegg did not protect us from being mislead. I will neve buy this brand again. Just to many honest brands to buy

Other Thoughts: This is the draw back buying on line if folks like Newegg do not accurrantly describe their products as was the case here. I did not buy an upgrade for my last upgrade because of the disclaimer that nothing should be expected to work together even when grouped topgether to sell. A slight of hand for a seller to advertices a product and then disclaim it was to be assumed to work together. I once never comsidered buying from anyone except Newegg but their new polocies have made me reluctant and this purchase bears out my reluctance. I am even less trusting of newegg after this purchase.
