Gigabit and POE
Pros: Fast, and POE. Awesome arrangement of lights, easily tell what ports are live, and what ports are pushing faster speeds.
Cons: All the ports are shoved to the right side. the switch it replaced was on the left side, had to finagle some some cords to make the short ones reach. None really, I'm going to buy 2 more for backups at different locations they're so good!
Overall Review: Now my office has phones that are powered again!
SMALL - NO DONGLE
Pros: It had all the features I wanted. Which is the only reason I am giving it two stars.
Cons: Being a petite woman, this mouse was incredibly small for my hands, and I am ending up giving it to someone else and just going to go out and buy a new one from a store. And it would have been nice to know that it didn't come with the dongle. Also, the instructions could have been clearer.
Overall Review: It would be nice if there were actual size dementions mentioned anywhere so it wasn't such a risk of it being way too small (which was the case this time) or way too big.
BIOS NEEDED UPDATING
Pros: All the Features
Cons: BIOS update almost stumped me. Would get the CPU led everytime I'd try to boot. After a bit of reading I realized I had the latetest greatest CPU for it, so The BIOS update fixed it. Not really a Con, but a heads up for others out there!
6 of 6 Solid
Pros: NAS Ready good amount of storage
Cons: I guess the 3TB ones are the ones with the bad reviews and Higher DOA. When sifting through the reviews notice which ones they're reviewing on, watch out for those... my 6 2TB's have been solid.
Overall Review: Had 2 in my Freenas box with some other randon drives and they held up for bout a year. I then bought 4 more and now I have my FreeNas Rebuilt with all these red's and it's running super smooth.
Awesome!
Pros: Has everything you need for a non-profit that likes to recycle old parts, yet future-proof yourself. Dual Monitor out the door, USB 3.0 for those that want it, ASRock stability, IDE for those who are too cheap to buy a new hard drive/ cd/dvd drive. We've put about 10-15 of these out in the field now, and no problems what so ever.
Cons: Audio driver freaks me out - it detects if theres speakers plugged in then makes the red circle around the speaker disappear. I've fought sound cards on ASRock before, but this is easy, more scary than a con
Overall Review: Awesome - it's my go-to board. Just hope they keep this one in production for a long time!!!!
Awesome
Pros: 5/5 all work awesome! going to buy more when I need more! Edimax is on the ball, great company
Cons: Antenna isn't bigger - but that's really a pro case the size lets it stay in a laptop at all times without fear of being broken off.
