Good board to date

Pros: Bought this Mobo to replace a prior P35 Gigabyte board and am very pleased to date. I initially thought I had a DOA board when the board refused to post. The onboard On/Off and reset switches made it real easy to troubleshoot the board prior outside the case. After disconnecting and then replacing every component I found out the CPU needed to be reseated (odd). The board now runs great with Vista, 4Gb Corsair and a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550.
Cons: No major issues - Little slow to boot and recognize the drives.
Overall Review: This board came with the prior BIOS which is dated 3/30/2009 v2001. The enclosed CD had mostly older drivers...downloaded all of the drivers first from the Asus website and loaded the newer drivers if they were available.
Stay away...far away from these drives

Pros: Large size and relatively low cost...that is it
Cons: Everything else. Bought two of these drives for a Windows Home Server to store DVD movies because of the size and the cost. First drive went in without any problems and was at 97% capacity...second drive never loaded any files...it showed as available buit never worked. I decided to get a WD 1.5Tb to replace the failing drive and before the new drive arrived the original drive started to crash. I put the new drive in and was able to transfer approx. 20% of the contents when I was unable to get any further data off the drive. I should have read the reviews about the drive and not purchased it...the drive apparently continues to have problems. STAY AWAY
Overall Review: Prior to returning the drives for a refund I checked the firmware and seagate.com and the drive was apparently not one of the drives that has been having the issue. My drive just randomly started to stop working...it would start at a reboot and then stop. Not really crashed but not working either. Learned my leason and will stick with Western Digital.
So far so good

Pros: Bought this dock to easily store and charge my BlackBerry 9850. So far it has performed exactly as expected and for the price it was more than worth it.
Cons: None
Waste of money

Pros: It looked like it would work and the price
Cons: Did not work with my Blackberry 9850. While it did "technically" fit the phone I was worried that the phone would fall off. The phone did not click into the holder and after less than a week the phone was so loose that I just tossed it in the garbage. Waster of money!
Overall Review: Look for a different holder...this will not satisfy you
Perfect set for small items

Pros: Set comes packaged in a convenient carry case that securely holds each of the drives... perfect as an extra set
Cons: None
Overall Review: Great price and received relatively quickly.
Excellent RAID card for WHS 2011

Pros: Easy setup with up to 8 drives in RAID. Currently used in a WHS 2011 build with 5 WD Green Drives in RAID 5 for backing up my Video (BluRay / DVD) collection. The card has worked flawlessly and the performance has caused no issues is streaming video.
Cons: Wish it had included the cables for connection to the SATA drives. Guess thought that with the cost of the cables it would keep the price of the card down if I needed to buy a new card.
Overall Review: For the vlaue to performance I am more than pleased.
