Pros: Very good for the price. I ordered one of these to put 5 1 TB drives into in a Linux software RAID5 configuration. I ran into no problems. Build is nice and sturdy. Obviously not as solid as an enterprise-level disk enclosure, but for the price its very acceptable.

Cons: I would have liked it if they offered a an option for a PCI controller, as the one included is a PCIe card, which my server lacks.

Overall Review: If you find yourself having to get a new SATA controller in order to take advantage of the port multiplier (say, because you don't have any PCIe slots), make sure you get one that supports port multipliers. Any SATA controller that utilizes the SiL3124 (SteelVine) controller should do fine.

Pros: Very nice drives. Ordered 5 of them for a Linux software RAID5 setup. No problems whatsoever.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Highly recommended

Pros: I have this drive setup in an LVM setup on my Gentoo server. So far so good. I'm running an old 80 GIG WD Special Edition as well that has served me well for the past 4 years.

Cons: None that I can think of. Although, it would have been nice for the number of cylinders to match up with my older 80 Gig drive, but I wouldn't really consider that a con.

Pros: Corsair value-select never fails to satisfy me for the price. This is definately one of the biggest bangs for the buck. I have a 512 stick sittin in my Gentoo-based server and runs flawlessly. I am not doing any overclocking.

Cons: None

Pros: Good, cheap Socket A board. It was everything I was expecting. The board posted with no problems. This board makes a good foundation for a cheap, Linux-based server. I had no problems getting any of the integrated devices working in Gentoo.

Cons: None that I can think of.
