Almost perfect

GLOTRENDS Multifunction Hard Drive Duplicator, CF/SD Reader, USB 3.0 Hub with Quick Charger (BM2)
GLOTRENDS Multifunction Hard Drive Duplicator, CF/SD Reader, USB 3.0 Hub with Quick Charger (BM2)

Pros: Definitely does what it's supposed to do well. haven't tried the clone function but have used it to mount and format a 3.5" 2TB and 2 2.5" ssd drives. Wrote images to the 2TB disk with macrium successfully. Transfer speed over USB 3.0 was excellent. Putting drives in is easy. Good product!

Cons: removing the drives from the cradle especially 3.5" drives is a bit difficult and sometimes seems to catch on the edge hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I'm sure that can be addressed in the next version and I'll get it. Next version be ready with USB 4.0/Thunderbolt and maybe even add nvme slot natively for the win!

Overall Review: Overall good product would recommend to others and would buy again.

Intrusive use of resources, functionality issues

Acronis True Image 2021 - 3 PC/MAC
Acronis True Image 2021 - 3 PC/MAC

Pros: Will revisit review if it ever gets working. *Update1: Have been working case with support. Very annoyed and dissatisfied. I keep being told to give full access to myself. I already have full access, and have done everything asked plus others. I was an IT professional for 23 years. Support has gone silent after requesting info. *Update 2 and last one: SEE CONS section

Cons: I have a brand new machine and wanted to use Acronis to do an initial full system backup to my NAS. It will not succeed and fails no matter how I configure it. Local account on NAS with full access, Full access for ALL users, separate shared SMB volume, no dice. I have a case open with their support right now. Also it leaves multiple resource intensive processes running that can't be shutdown easily all the time. Same exact error on a second machine as I purchased 3 machine license. I've tried all of their knowledge base suggestions and had done everything their support suggested before opening the case. Not a happy camper. **Last Update: As a test. made sure backup directory on NAS had full control for all. On 1 brand new laptop tried Acronis 2021 to do a full backup. Failed with permissions error. Removed Acronis 2021. Installed Macium Reflect free, ran full back up to same backup directory with verification successfully. second test on other laptop getting same error. Tried full back up with Acronis 2021. Failed with permissions error. Left it on machine and installed Macrium Reflect free version. Ran full back up. SUCCESS. feel I have wasted my money and now have to save up for money to get Mcrium full version. Severely disappointed in Acronis 2021 !!!

Overall Review: I would not recommend this product at this time. I would not purchase this product again. Definitely dissastisfied

Almost perfectr

Wavlink WL-WN579G3-WI-US Dual Gigabit WIFI Repeater, 1200Mbps Wireless Range Extender with 4 x High Power External Antennas, Dual Band 2.4GHz & 5GHz Wireless Signal Amplifier Booster, WPS, Repeater, AP and Wireless Router
Wavlink WL-WN579G3-WI-US Dual Gigabit WIFI Repeater, 1200Mbps Wireless Range Extender with 4 x High Power External Antennas, Dual Band 2.4GHz & 5GHz Wireless Signal Amplifier Booster, WPS, Repeater, AP and Wireless Router

Pros: Works well but occasionally has to be rebooted. Easy to manage. can be Router/bridge/Access point.

Cons: Has to be rebooted occasionally because the 5ghz radio stops responding for no reason as the 2.4ghz band stays up fine.

Overall Review: Not bad for the price, would recommend

Functions as desired

NETGEAR ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch (GS108)
NETGEAR ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch (GS108)

Pros: Functions as desired. I didn't need a fully managed switch at this point. Plugged it in and away it went immediately picking up where my defunct 100Mbs router left off. I needed the enhancement anyway since I have Gigabit internet and the difference is noticeable to the machine that is wired to it via cat6 with a gigabit nic.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Would recommend and buy again.

Quite Satisfied Met Expectations

D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure
D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure

Pros: I had very realistic expectations for this little bundle. As far as a nas device to hold alot of storage in a secondary location this fits the bill. I backup my hard drive to it every other day. I then backup this drive to another separate drive each month. It holds my music just fine, videos as well. I am pleased and setup was relatively painless.

Cons: Minor con for speed but theen again it performs as documented so I did not ding it for that and I had realistic expectations.

Overall Review: I hope it can take even larger drives via firmware later on. I am satisfied, darned satisfied.

Pretty nifty

Easy setup of product. Took like 30 seconds after setting a new password through the web interface. Really nice extended range. Good price also.

I would definitely recommend this seller Received my Lexar 256gig usb 3.0 drive a day earlier than expected which was quite nice! The drive was packaged securely in factory packaging, then in bubble wrap which was then inserted in an outer package. I will order from them again.
