Pros: Anyway I did a couple of SSD performance tests after plugging it in and for my money (- Thanks Newegg - ) it aces the Samsung850EVO by 5X. Pretty much meets the manufacturers specs. Best part, is it makes my i5-6500, ASUSZ270 - 32GB perform about as fast as I was used to before the Spectre scare. A few times in the past I've accessed the GRC utility to disable to software mod but with all the Win10 updates that was futile. This EX950 M.2 drive 2TB absolutely restores performance when editing massive Excel files. I'm not a gamer, but running Blue Iris and a couple of Office apps can make things sluggish. Really pleased with the system now.

Cons: It wasn't a slam dunk to incorporate, because i was dumb about doing the clone in MiniTool. After rebooting, Windows 10 wants to delete all resident BootMgrs on co-located drives. I could not boot test the clone. Minitool did send me an alternate, ShadowMaker, that shuts down the computer after cloning so one can pull out the old drive. The Minitool folks were very responsive to my complaint about no shutdown in their clone disk program, but I have the Shadowmaker now & it isn't a big cost. Gonna need a new faster backup though to handle this big partition. For now I use an empty 1TB crucial SSD for Document backups.

Overall Review: Highly recommend at the price point. Its now been a year since installed, 8700 hours, has written 34 TB and 'Crystal Disk" detects no errors. As a warranty inquire at "multipoint.com" I got a response as follows, which is heartening - Fill out this form and we will send you a new drive. I have responded that I will post their response here to boost confidence about any warranty issues.

Pros: Maybe Easy to set up, but it has issues with the HID drivers when setting up Windows 7 Install. Managed to fix it with only a keyboard shortcuts. Oh, me.

Cons: The network drops sockets. I can ping all of the local stuff but the Internet connections just drop off for no go reason. I thought it was sleep mode but that didn't fix anything. OLD Win 7 computer on the same router never drops out. Only a restart will get the socket back. Remove, reinstall drivers multiple times. Did some googling and I ain't alone on this I219-V chipset. Apparently now that Intel has their basket full, good luck getting a fix. New Egg has no MB replacements. Wonder if a new PCI Express Card Netwok might just be simpler, like forever? Gripes.

Overall Review: Cannot recommend. ASUS Rep you got an answer, please?

Pros: It took a couple of weeks to get here as predicted. Pleased with the performance and plugs right into the old sockets. I think its a good buy, if you have an old laptop. Microsoft needed me to re-affirm my old XP license because I had also put in a Flash Drive, ( who knew they were still keeping track) but the phone number scheme worked out just fine.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Its a made in USA product ( it says) so considering it came from mainland China its kinda curious. Possibly a recycle but i didn't care.

Pros: It's a fast switch, and doesn't need setup. I use Network Magic and it always solves my connectivity issues. Works well with the Netgear WNR3500 and needed the 1GHz speed for backups and server access.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Port 1 & Uplink are same port (saves $, I guess) so it must negotiate automatically. nice that.

Pros: Setup easily. Great price in a FAST box (recertified). I really DO have FAST Cable internet speed now - peaking at about 15Mbs. Splendid upgrade. My experience with the Cisco helped with this one. No mysteries.

Cons: Interface setup refresh is slow, as mentioned elsewhere, compared to my Cisco - but you don't have to do it very often.

Overall Review: Seems to handle throughput well enough with three computers demanding web access. We have to see about range. I've given it five eggs without more range info.

Pros: Quietest PS I EVER owned. Cords are about right.

Cons: Don't know any yet.
