Pros: Once I understood how to utilize this type of controller card, installation was simple, fast, and problem free. SSD peak reads went from around 270M (on-board SATA2) to around 400M. Peak writes went from around 240M to around 340. For a CPU-powered, non-native, external controller on a 6-year old NVidia 780i chipset motherboard that is too old to natively support AHCI, this is more than acceptable.

Cons: None that I have identified.

Overall Review: Hopefull, useful education for others. It is not possible to get full SATA3 R&W speeds on a card of this type. But installed and configured properly, the speeds that you can get will nonetheless make your PC smoke in comparison to SATA2. To get full SATA3 speeds on a non-SATA3 motherboard, you need to spend many times the money for a card with a processor, onboard memory and a battery, similar to a high-end SCSI card one might find in a server.

Pros: Most reasonably priced product with this capacity from a company I'm familiar with. Once I can get the PC to load Windows and run properly, it has solved the issue I was having (Spontaneous reboots under gaming/benchmark load).

Cons: Once installed its causing strange issue booting/rebooting machine. The only way it will load Windows is to stop the boot process in the BIOS, let it sit for a minute or two and then use the boot override functionality (Asus Z77 Sabertooth) to select the boot drive. If I do not start the PC this way, it appears to start loading Windows, and then my monitor goes into power-save (sleep) mode. Once in this state, the simple press-release of the power button does not initiate a shutdown like normal. The machine is completely non-responsive.

Overall Review: I've swapped it back and forth twice with the old PSU (Zephyr 750), and the issue is definitely related to this Rosewill PSU. The old PSU boots the PC properly every time and runs fine as long as I don't game or run benchmarks. Its an older revision of that PSU, so unlike the newer revision of the same PSU that's in my Wife's PC, it does not meet all the specs of this hardware. It also has 5-6 years of intense use and may simply be slowly dieing. I swap back to the Rosewill and I cannot boot the PC unless I go through that bizarre start-up process described above. My guess is that I'll be returning it (RMA) and spending some additional to get a more premium PSU.

Pros: Price, R.O.I., sheer entertainment value.

Cons: Not for the impatient of complete newbie. Learning curve for new users. Must be rooted for XBMC to work properly. No excuse for lack of 5G wifi. Note: The unit that just arrived (my second) is malfunctioning (no video) and will be exchanged for a working one. I'm not docking the unit any eggs for this because it happens. Newegg will help me make it right.

Overall Review: The community makes it very easy to locate rooted stock or custom ROMs, and to flash them. Same for XBMC. It takes a bit of time and effort, but the rewards are well worth it.

Pros: Reasonable price, excellent price when on sale. Everything you want in a SSD, but more. When connected to an average, CPU-powered SATA3 controller card these are very fast. When connected to a motherboard with full, native SATA3 support, they are extremely fast. Extremely fast boot-up, resume from hibernation, etc.

Cons: None that are the fault of the drive.

Overall Review: If one is using such a drive on an external, CPU-driven controller card, understand that you'll be getting R&W speeds in the 325M-400M range. that's not the fault of the drive or the controller card, its a limitation of using a controller card on a machine that doesn't offer native support. Used on something like an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 motherboard and you'll see the speeds that the drive is capable of. IMHO, it is a shame that we live in a world where in order to not offend someone, newegg feels the need to reject a review because it contains three letters in a row that do not create a word, and are commonly used as an exclamation point.

Pros: Plays every game that I play with every graphics option maxed.

Cons: None that I have experienced.

Overall Review: Upgraded from two 8800GT 512MB cards in SLI. Comparing the two of them to this 670 is like comparing two stun granades to a Photon torpedo from the USS Enterprise. I am beyond impressed.

Pros: Considering that this unit has all the features of the more popular units costing 2+times the cost, the price of this unit is more thatn extremely reasonable. Simultaneous 2.4GHz & 5GHz band operation, each fully & independantly configurable for 20MHz or 40MHz, wide and standard channels, media-protocol prioritization, USB Print or Media server, etc. This unit has every feature that I require/desire, and they all work...and very well. Since purchasing this router, I have tried to trip it up, just to give me an excuse to dislike it...because its a Belkin. However, I have as yet to be disappointed in any way by this unit.

Cons: In an age where style and bling permeates every aspect of life, good Lord this thing is ugly when compared to its competition.

Overall Review: All of our wireless devices are 2.4GHz only, but both sides are setup the same. I selected the 40MHz mode, selected the wide and standard channel combination based on channels not in use in the area surrounding my home, gave streaming video the highest priority, gaming high, and everything else normal. I left it in multi-mode instead of locking it in N-mode (our laptop is G only). I then connected both of our wireless-N BluRay players, the laptop and both of our phones to the Belkin. It is also the main router for our home Gigabit, wired network with 3-towers on it. I was downloading several very large files onto one of the towers while streaming two different hi-def .mkv files wirelessly to the BluRay players, while watching youtube on the laptop while surfing the web on my cellphone. It gave the wide channel in N-mode to the video streaming, brought the standard channel to G and connected the laptop & phone to it. It handled all of this perfectly without a hitch.
