Pros: Fastest burner series on the market for over 3 years.
Cons: Doesnt have a built in ink jet or a robotic disk changing system. Oh well!
Overall Review: If you have an nForce motherboard, try uninstalling or NOT installing the SATA controller drivers. They have some major bug and may be why all of these people are getting burn problems with these drives. I have 5 and they work flawlessly.
Looks great, but cant perform
Pros: Looks great, comes in a well packaged box. Totally idiot proof (I selected it based on the lack of people 'shorting out' their 2.5" IDE drives. This seems rather impossible on this, so thats great. -Felt solid.
Cons: -Stupid right angle SATA cable. -Cant use my locking cables on this. -Works erratically.
Overall Review: Will try for RMA; Its primary function was to get XP on an Eee PC via the many, many cdroms i have laying around. Every disk and drive I tried (1 CDRW ATA, 1 DVD ATA, and one DVDRAM SATA) threw errors at primary setup on every port. Tried it on a few machines and a few drives. Dont trust it on my 15 drives that I hoped to finally back up with this, and then use for repairing computers.
cheap in all the wrong spots
Pros: Excelent key switches. Great tactile feel. Love the red backdrop behind the keys
Cons: Cheaper than cheap usb connector on the worst spot ever on the keyboard. Its literally a day old and its disconnecting. Sure, you dont move your keyboard much, but if you ever do its going to break the connector that they put on the top back. 50 cents ruins this otherwise perfect keyboard -- move and get a better, quality port!!!
Overall Review: If they had a design like ducky with a quality USB micro or mini-din connector protected from bumps and cable tension this keyboard would easily last 20 years. I question if it can handle a month now without me soldering it and ordering a 90' MiniUSB
Pros: I purchased two of these. The price rocks! Got one for me and my fiance so she wont whine about not being able to take my games and play them. Extremely fast. Quiet. Sexy looking. Nice box!
Cons: Flash kills it. Turn off hardware acceleration :(
Meh
Pros: It works. Cheap as dirt ($20 shipped)
Cons: Doesnt really work. Diagnostics are shot (LEDS and web interface) so its useless for that. Its my backup cable modem.
Overall Review: You get what you pay for
FAIL
Pros: Worked stunningly for 2 months. Fastest drive out there.
Cons: Only lasted just under 3 months. No warranty or apparent technical support for the unit. (Though it is OEM, where do we OEMs go when we need to replace a botched set of these things?) Wont read any disk now, just sits there trying to and the light blinks while it locks up my system. Tested 3 machines, different hardware and OSes. FAIL
Overall Review: Noticed that a lot of us who've had them a few months have had increased failure rates. Not good.
