Pros: This Drive is a Seagate 7200.8 drive in an external shell, not some no-name drive that you wont be able to get support for.

Cons: No fan, does get warm after extended use.

Overall Review: I used this drive as a backup system, put 470gigs of data on it, and stuck it in the closet. It seems to be perfect for this purpose, due to the heat it generated. I probably would not recommend using this as a 24/7 drive on a computer.

Pros: Good read speed, excellent compatibility, works in Fixed Disk mode

Cons: Poor Write Speed, could be cheaper, compared to more popular SD parts

Overall Review: I have a pair of these running in RAID1 on a Addonics CF RAID card, running FreeNAS. Works well, once it was installed, fast enough for log and historical data, but installing the small OS took nearly 20 minutes.

Pros: Nice overall appearance if it worked.

Cons: When inserted into a Supermicro H11SSL-i based EPYC system, the machine will rapidly power on and off, and will never boot. This board does properly support bifurcated PCIe (I have other bifurcated devices in this system already, which work correctly), but the system will not get to the point where bifurcation will even come into play. I have tested two of these cards on two different systems, and they both have the same issue.

Overall Review: If you have a Supermicro H11SSL-i, then this will not work.

Pros: 35W TDP, decent speed, relatively low cost

Cons: Lack of Hyperthreading, price could be cheaper

Overall Review: I have one of these CPUs in my exchange server. It is more then adequate to keep up with the light load of a 5 user mail server. The price is low-ish, but I would like to see it closer to the figure quoted on Intel's site. The only real drawback is that this is a 2 core, 2 thread unit. Hyperthreading requires no additional hardware or silicon, it is simply a software option that was disabled in the Pentium/Celeron line CPUs to get you to buy a Core i3 at nearly twice the price. Besides that, if you need a quick, stable CPU that is very low power, go for this one!

Pros: Great price, decent internal layout, small.

Cons: Lower 3.5" bay is not usable with a 9.6"x9.6" MicroATX motherboard, works fine if you are using ITX or a shorter mATX board. LEDs are *FAR TOO BRIGHT* for really any sort of use.

Overall Review: I am using these for two small home servers, one a Windows Small Business Server 2011 on a mATX board, but I cannot install two hard drives due to the placement of the lower 3.5" bay. The other is a FreeNAS box running on a D510MO, and has no issues with two drives. These cases were only sold as having 1 internal 3.5 and one external 3.5 so I cannot complain too much, but it still would have been nice to design it in such a way that more then one drive could be mounted. Since this is marketed as a Media Center/HTPC case, the LEDs should be much dimmer. They will easily light up a room.

Pros: Excellent support, (near) flawless operation. Supports Windows, Linux, and even OSX Server. Version 3.0 now supports Windows 7 as well.

Cons: Sometimes a tad hoggish, and can take over USB peripherals at the wrong time, but these are very minor annoyances.

Overall Review: This is really a must for any Mac user that works with a mixed Mac/PC environment. You can use this to access your bootcamp partition, without rebooting. I have used this to run MS Office 2007 on my mac, and with Unity... its almost like having a native version of Office.
