Most Favorable Review

Better than Vista/XP

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

Pros: Great interface. Comes with goodies, but not overwhelming like Vista did. It recognized all of my hardware, but was very stubborn when setting up my RAID 0 configuration.

Cons: It doesn't like older drivers, but most manufacturers have Windows 7 drivers now. I found out the hardway with my wireless printer.

Overall Review: It's better than XP, Vista, and anything else out there.

Most Critical Review

Purchased for our business, it's been a disaster

Linksys EA9200-4A Wireless AC3200 Tri-Band Smart Wi-Fi Router
Linksys EA9200-4A Wireless AC3200 Tri-Band Smart Wi-Fi Router

Pros: Ease of setup, up and running in no time, many great features, supposedly the "best AC3200" router money could buy at the time, but you'll find out it is hardly thought.

Cons: 1) Drops every device imaginable (iOS, Android, HP Desktops, Playstations, MacBooks, ASUS Laptops, Dell Desktops, iPads, iPhones. You just can't stay connected!) 2) If I go 20 feet from the router, it drops a bar. If I am outside, there is no signal. Constantly having to reset my WIFI/ROUTER to restore internet access. 3) Software is the same as it was 5 years ago, we didn't like the SMART WIFI UI before, we definitely still don't like it, but it's time it gets an upgrade. 4) Why we can't even work in our office: This router drops connections every time you connect, whether it's facetime or skype or streaming a video or YouTube, drop drop drop. We had OPTIMUM ONLINE and APPLE/VERIZON check and even change our phones and devices and after all IT WAS THE ROUTER ITSELF. Who would of thought????? Biggest mistake was paying a premium price tag for a device that replaced an dual band and performs less than our old Linksys WRTG router. (Probably the last quality made product from Linksys before buying bought by Cisco)

Overall Review: I regret purchasing this router. And I should have known better, as I was in the market to replace another horrible Linksys E4200V2 router with a tragically weak signal. I went from bad to worse. This will be my last Cisco product after over 20 years of going with their brand.

Worked great then died.

Rosewill RDDO-12001 Rigid aluminum casing and internal plastic shield 2.5" & 3.5" SATA USB 3.0 & eSATA Docking Station

Pros: It was fantastic at not having to install a physical drive into the PC and use this helpful docking device saving lot's of time and headaches.

Cons: drives don't necessary stay "snug" in the drive slots, too much movement. Stopped working and eventually died.

Overall Review: Rosewill used to be known for good parts, not so much anymore.

Great combo at great price

Cons: None, go get one!

Overall Review: I am so glad I got rid of previous charger from A mazon which kept giving a pop-up every time i charged my phone about compatibility, I returned it and bought this!
