Most Critical Review

Was great right up until it died

Pros: Transfer speeds were nice, used it a few times to transfer files from machine to machine. Form factor is also excellent. Very durable.

Cons: Sadly died after a little over a month's usage. Today I was copying a block of files to it (about 27gb) and about 1/2 way through the transfer, the drive was no longer usable from any machine. A drive letter appears but can't be formatted or used. Dang.

Works Great

Pros: Dropped in a Lenovo W520 and it works perfectly.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Received slightly better than stated speeds.

Not useful for me

AVG PC Tuneup 2011 - 3 User

Pros: Comes from a company I trust to make good AV software

Cons: Didn't work very well, anytime I go through a full scan, I end up frozen and must turn the machine off.

Overall Review: Wish there was a patch/update to work out the bugs

Nice Drive

OCZ Vertex 3 V3LT-25SAT3-240G 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
OCZ Vertex 3 V3LT-25SAT3-240G 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Great drive, worked perfectly right out of the box. Using as main drive in Lenovo W520. If you do this, make sure to use F6 and specify Lenovo's latest Intel Rapid Storage driver to avoid BSODs during install. Using various disk benchmarking tools, received the expected results.

Cons: Minus one egg because OCZ's firmware tool doesn't recognize the drive as main drive or in ultrabay position.

Overall Review: May be firmware update issues. ><

Exceptional product

QNAP TS-259 Pro+ Diskless System Superior Performance NAS with iSCSI for Business
QNAP TS-259 Pro+ Diskless System Superior Performance NAS with iSCSI for Business

Pros: I bought this to replace a DNS-321. Wow, talk about orders of magnitude better. I went from average of 10mb/sec to between 80 and 120mb/sec. Pairing the nics is a great feature, supports 9k jumbo frames MTU. The interface is polished. I was able to download a current firmware update file and apply it without issue. So far this NAS has exceeded my expectations.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Loaded with 2x SAMSUNG Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB
