Works With Flex Radio PowerSDR!

SYBA Low Profile PCI-Express 1394B/A Firewire Card Model SD-PEX30009
SYBA Low Profile PCI-Express 1394B/A Firewire Card Model SD-PEX30009

Pros: I have been using one of these with my Flex Radio 5000. The TI chipset seems to be completly compatible with PowerSDR ver 2.5.3 running at 192k sampling rate. I have tried other card that would not perform nearly as well or at all.

Cons: Internal firewire 400 header is shared with an external port. This did not matter to me since I only needed the external port.

Overall Review: This card is a real performer. I have heard not to use the supplied drivers and let windows install the driver.

Pros: It’s a promising design. The intention made sense and would have filled my need for removable storage in a case I already had. I had high hopes for this product and all it did was waste my time, money and cause aggravation.

Cons: Don't waste your money!! The product does not work and certainly not as promised. This product failed to see all inserted drives. it is unstable, unpredictable and useless. Do not trust your data to this garbage product! The bad reviews are true, do not play with poison snakes, you will get bit!! IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO LOSE YOUR MONEY TO THIS PRODUCT, DO NOT BUY IT!!

Overall Review: I purchased 2 of these in November 2011 and tried them about 2 weeks later. The product behaved strangely and wasn't detecting my known good drives on known good SATA channels as I expected. I tried new cables and still nothing. It was hard to predict if this product would work at all. Since I was very busy with other projects, I made the mistake of waiting to call Newegg for support and was not able to get an exchange or refund. I then had to RMA both units to SNT. This cost me an additional $20.00. After waiting a about 3 weeks I received the replacements. I took the time to install then and test to find out the 2 replacements are junk too. Now I have to send them back again! I called Newegg today and all they can do to help is issue me a small credit supplement the cost of shipping. With 4 bad units form SNT, it is clear that this product was not tested after manufacturing and I will not be buying SNT products ever again. I am now afraid I may have to eat the cost after all this!

The is my Favorite Laptop, PERIOD!!

Pros: -Battery life is excellent 7-8 hrs. -Gigabit LAN is a must have. -Screen resolution is good plus has HDMI out -Size is perfect, I wondered if the small screen was going to be an issue but it is not. This thing sitting on your desk takes minimal space and doesn't seem to compromise much of anything. -Runs cool -low power I like this machine BETTER than my 15.6" I7 laptop just because of its ultra-portability and battery life. The performance is very good for what it is. HIGHLY RECOMENDED if you are looking for a notebook in this class!

Cons: Bloat ware! Once all the garbage trial ware and such is out of the way the experience is even better.

Overall Review: Has a restore partition if needed.

GREAT DEAL
