Pros: For the most part these drive rock. Quite and fast.

Cons: Since this are OEM drives finding any information about this product on their site is slim to none. I have purchase 18 of these drives and 2 have died without warning after about 10 to 12 months of use. Realize before you buy that these are more or less disposalbe drives. In other words when they die just buy another one.

Pros: Price is good. I have made 6 systems using this board and they are quite nice for entry level systems. Deffinately not something to build if you plan on using it for any games other then solitar.

Cons: The first shipment had 4 boards that were damaged during shipping. The nylon clips that hold on the heatsink were sheared off. The RMA process took to long. If you plan on creating a ghost image beware that this is a very tricky thing to do. Ghost seems to have issues with SATA drives on this chipset.

Overall Review: You would be better off going with the A8N-VM CSM version of this board.

Pros: None.

Cons: Setup is overly complex. Very unreliable. Some client can never see the access point.

Overall Review: Stay away from this AP unless you like headaches and upset users.

Pros: I have been using the Zywall product line for about 6 years now to connect our 4 branch locations to the main office VIA VPNs. We currently have 4 of the Zywall 5 UTM's in service. Once they are setup correctly they are very reliable. I have only used their support one time and it was very good. They were able to help me fix the issue that we were having in less then 10 minute.

Cons: If you setup your VPN incorrectly it will build the tunnel, but the throughput will be slow.

Overall Review: For the feature set that you get for the price you cannot beat this device.

Pros: I have been using the Zywall 5 series to hook my branch offices to the home office, which is running a Zywall 70, for over 5 years now. Once these firewall/vpn's are setup they stay up. The only time that I have to do anything to these is the preform firmware upgrades. You cannot go wrong.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I just checked the uptime on my the oldest one and it reports 738 days. These will do want you want and then some.

Pros: Installed it in my Toshiba P105-S9722 running Unbuntu 7.10 and instantly saw the performance difference. I have not seen any stabilty issues yet. As usual NewEgg.com had it to me in 2 days.

Cons: None
