Most Favorable Review

Perfect, and cheap to boot

Pros: Bought this to replace a cruddy Sony that has a drive that won't open (nor has it since shortly after I purchased it.) Haven't had a single problem with it. Have burned enough DVDs and CDs on it to vouch for its quality and speed.

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

Requires Hack to maintain connectivity

Rosewill RX-358 V2 BLK - Black, 3.5" SATA to USB & eSATA External Enclosure with Internal 80 mm Fan
Rosewill RX-358 V2 BLK - Black, 3.5" SATA to USB & eSATA External Enclosure with Internal 80 mm Fan

Pros: This i a follow up to a previous review. The issue with support for 3TB is taken care of (user error with partition type). So the support fro 3TB is a great feature. The fan works great, and it doesn't appear to have heat issues at all.

Cons: The real issue with this device is that in all their infinite wisdom, Rosewill has released an external enclosure that does not stay connected. The built in power management "feature" auto-magically powers down the drive after 5 min (or so) with in turn, disconnects the device from your system. This makes it difficult to actually use the device once powered down since you have to go into the device manager and rescan to get the device to be recognized (at least in Win 7). Support referred me to an open source utility to write a file to the drive to keep it from disconnecting. I ended up having to write every minute jus to keep it from disconnecting. In summary, do NOT buy this enclosure for backup purposes. It's solely meant as a portable device, used to transfer between machines.

Overall Review: Will be submitting an RMA request today

Finally died after 7 years

Pros: Worked as expected for casual gaming. Ran Crysis series. What else can you ask for.

Cons: Was hoping it would run a bit longer in my kids PC, but now I get to upgrade mine!

Runs great!

Awesome Bag!

Pros: Love this bag. Plenty of room for all my cables and peripherals. Watch the NewEgg videos, they help explain these bags inside and out.

Cons: Since I've owned, the only con I can mention is the zippers for the laptop compartment are on an angle so they tend to stick when zipping up which leads me to believe I may be sending this in for warranty service due to a worn or broken zipper.

Great Mouse ... until it dies

Pros: Great mouse when it worked. Feel, precision, everything was great.

Cons: Left click of death? Apparently there is a history with this model having issues with the left click button after time.

Overall Review: Logitech support was helpful and able to troubleshoot for me to submit an RMA for a refurb. I'll post again if the issue persists across devices.
