Save yourself the headache...

AVerMedia C027 AVerTV HD DVR
AVerMedia C027 AVerTV HD DVR

Pros: It installed, kinda..

Cons: Assumed it worked with Win7 MCE. Really, who would produce a product that does not support MCE? Tried updating to the beta driver which crashed. Included software is horrid. They really need some 3rd party support in a bad way. Boxing this thing back up after 20 mins of frustration and getting something that works.

Overall Review: They really need to add some MCE support at a minimum.

Junk

Intel 535 Series 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2BW120H6R5

Pros: It looks like a SSD.

Cons: It works for a day or so until it dies. Only posts on a power cycle.

Overall Review: Bought thinking that Intel knew what they were doing. Now I know they are junk. Locks up and requires a power cycle. They have some major issues with the controller or firmware.

Pros: Might be heavy enough to work as a doorstop.

Cons: Bought two of these. Both fail to communicate properly with a LSI 9211 HBA. Controller and Solaris can query make, model, serial number but thats it, no access to media. Looks to be a firmware bug. According to Hitachi RMA webpage the product was shipped by Newegg in non-compliant packaging. One drive was visibly dented.

Overall Review: I thought Hitachi made a quality product until I plugged two of these in. Must pay for packaging and shipping for RMA. Seems to me Hitachi should pay up for producing defects.
