Perfect for HD streaming!
Pros: Decent transfer rates for such a cheap little box! 2x3TB drives installed in the NAS -writes at roughly 48MBps -reads at abpit 98MBps (all on full gigabit network transferring 4.7TB of data)
Cons: Found that if i try to simultaneously copy large files to the NAS that the transfer rates combined drop below the usual single file at a time rate of ~48MBps down to a terrible 14BMps Might be just my unit but after finishing the 4.7TB data transfer to the NAS the disks were extremely hot, yet the fan on the NAS was only running at ~800rpm??? Tried calling 24/7 Iomega customer service to get the fan issue fixed but instead of getting help, i was on hold for 3.75 hours!!!!!
Overall Review: Lost an egg for fan issues, should lose another for terrible customer support!!!!
Power Overwhelming!
Pros: This Klipsch Sub is able to hit lows I've never heard before! Amazing response to anything you tell it to PUNCH out! Change the sub phase from 0' - 180' to help match your system components! Digital screen works perfectly AND, you CAN tell the sub to go to standby/sleep mode after no signals are received after a certain time.
Cons: Deducted an egg for the common shipping issue and design of the subwoofers diagonal sub port, the Port was loose like many other people suggested, but you can just reach your hand up into the port and pull the tube back into the socket.
Overall Review: For my current setup I have the sub set at -32db and its still shaking the floor! Be sure your sub has access to a lot of power, i suggest plugging the sub directly into a wall outlet and avoiding using power strips. I had some power pulsing/flickering issues noticeable on the lights in the room when i cracked the sub up and it started to suckup alot of power for the amp. the power-cord is not a 3 prong, just a standard 2 prong (seems odd to me)
Not bad for LBP
Pros: You get the look and feel of the other LBP games! fun karting around the custom levels and such!
Cons: needs more weapons/power ups load times get annoying but nothing like mod-nation racers! no leader-boards for online game play???
I STILL WANT MORE!!!!
Pros: most Gig for the $ seems to spin up superbly fast after sleeping!
Cons: nah
Glitches and Legitness
Pros: The unit is very fast and responsive and keeps up with the navigation. system is pretty loud, not as loud as my stereo but it gets the job done. i like using the unit with the system auto dimming the screen, so it will give me instructions and upcoming turns with the screen bright and then dim and get out of the way while i drive or do other things. easy to add and change routes and gives you quick responses if you deviate from the original planned route. the intersection road merging view is amazing! it helps so much when traveling in metro cities with alot of merging and service ramps :D unit is easily turned off. i just turned on the unit for the video on this post and it lost only 1 bar of battery while in standbye for 4 days.
Cons: the unit HATES when you make it multitask. if i play music... crash. if i play a game.... crash. if i play an audio book.... crash. other than that, its great! if you get this GPS unit to... be a GPS unit, you wont have any issues!
Overall Review: The Nuvi 855 is very hackable, i updated it to the newest maps for 2011 no problem, just search google for the update instructions and save your self some hard earned money
House Lan party Heck yea!
Pros: this is exactly what the doctor asked for. me and my friends are running a huge lan party at my house, and we are running everything through 3 routers with 10 xbox 360's, i needed a way to connect routers to other routhers through out the house, and this cheap amazing deal did the trick! ive had these for a while now and they have yet to fail! i even once ran this through the cold air return ducts in our house! perfect!
Cons: its so amazing its blowing my mind....
Overall Review: my mind is blown by the deal...
