Excellent Firewall

Pros: ICSA Certified. VPN Client software included. Metal chassis with mounting screw holes. 253 LAN users I have not had to reset it in the 7 months I have owned it. I got my rebate check!
Cons: None yet...
Overall Review: This is a great value. ICSA certification, VPN support and VPN client software come at a much higher cost from other manufacturers. FYI: I have Verizon FIOS static IP with 15Mbps/2Mbps service. My download tests on XP/Vista/2003 systems average 15.2Mbps/1.8Mbps. The high-throughput works as advertised. I did not need to tweak anything on the firewall.
Another DOA

Pros: It is a motherboard.
Cons: Intel support was terrible. I spent 4 hours on the phone with Intel to find out that my board was defective. What was frustrating was that the check only took 4 minutes. (See Other Thoughts below)
Overall Review: If you buy this board the first things you need to do is update BIOS and then ENABLE iAMT in the BIOS. If you do not get a configuration screen for iAMT configuration before OS load you got a bad board.
Terrible performance

Pros: None
Cons: My access point is a Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit WNDR3700v3. I purchased this to replace a LInksys USB100 USB adapter I purchased many years ago. This is not the new USB100, it is the old grey one. Before I replaced it I copied a 1.5 GB. The file copy averaged 2.6 Mbps. I replaced it with the Netgear AC1200 and the copy speed averaged 2.8 Mbps. Just to be clear, i copied the exact same file, placed the adapters in the exact same place. This is a total waste of money, any 5-year old adapter is just as fast as this one so don't waste your money.
Epic Fail!

Pros: None.
Cons: The drive would disconnect while I was copying files to it. I downloaded and installed Check Flash to test it. In less than 1 hour, Check Flash found over 80,000 errors!
Stay away from teh G1W

Pros: None that I am aware of.
Cons: Incomplete and poorly translated instructions. Horrible battery life. Does not overwrite automatically so card fills up after a few short trips. Cigarette lighter adapter, which is mandatory because of battery life, gets extremely hot and is likely a fire hazard. Mounting mechanism is flimsy and camera started falling out of it after 30-days of use.
OCZ Vertex 3 is unreliable

Pros: Fast, competitive pricing, efficient RMA process
Cons: Installed in Dell Latitude E6400 in June 2011. I work in the field servicing systems and rely on Sleep and Hibernate to get my battery through the day. After a few weeks, the system would tell me there was no hard disk or BSOD after being "woken up". I restarted and it would work again. I created a new power profile that skips Sleep and goes straight to Hibernate. This allowed the system to start normally after being in power save mode. I thought I was in the clear. About a month later, the problem returned. This time restarting the computer did not resolve the problem. I connected it to another computer via SATA but it also could not "find" the drive. I was finally able to access the drive using a USB to SATA enclosure. I reported the problem to OCZ and they replaced the drive with a brand new one. It worked for 3-weeks and then failed. I couldn't even access it with the USB enclosure. I have requested a refund from OCZ and I am waiting for a response.
Overall Review: OCZ SSD should not be used for production systems. If they don't refund me I will be using it in my gaming rig and making regular disk images to back it up.
