Most Favorable Review

Use 2, 4, & 6 TB models

WD Purple 2TB Surveillance Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch WD20PURX
WD Purple 2TB Surveillance Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch WD20PURX

Pros: Size, reliability, and work just fine in a PC.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I use all available sizes of WD Purple surveillance hard drives for internal PC storage drives and have never had a problem with any of them.. Seagates on the other hand are 50/50 for me so I'm sticking with what works.

Most Critical Review

Very limited for my needs..

Hauppauge 1229 WinTV-HVR-2255 Dual TV Tuner / Encoder
Hauppauge 1229 WinTV-HVR-2255 Dual TV Tuner / Encoder

Pros: It picks up Digital and Analog channels available through your cable provider...*

Cons: *IF you have the digital cable box in line from your cable TV provider! It Will Not pick up digital channels like a HDTV tuner on current LCDs or Plasmas will without a cable box! You Must have a Digital/HDTV cable box supplied by your cable provider to get the full effect of this TV tuner card! Also, it is a capture card for TV only! If you do video capture from DVD or VCR using programs like I do with Pinnacle Studio, Pinnacle will not detect this card as a capture device! I took a shot in the dark on this and was wrong..

Overall Review: The A/V input connector as well as the extra A/V panel is basically useless unless you plan on connecting your cable box to the card via S-video and/or RCA audio video cables.. This is what threw me off thinking this was a capture device for DVD/VCR capture as well.. No IR Blaster cable provided with this model - This will prevent you from a proper setup in Windows Media Center when selecting a cable Top Box in the setup. I had to select no top box to finish the install properly. Overall, I'm not overly thrilled not just with the limits of the TV tuner card for my needs but the fact my ATI AIW X1900 that worked flawlessly in XP is reduced to a simple dual monitor only ability now. I now have to have a separate TV tuner card for watching TV on my computer as well as a separate capture card for DVD/VCR capturing (which I have yet to find due to scathing reviews of several models I've looked at), so be advised!

Best Bang for the Buck

Seagate BarraCuda ST24000DM001 24TB 7200 RPM 512MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Way more storage than what I actually need, but it's still better to have too much than not enough.

Cons: Only 21.8 TiB of actual storage space

Overall Review: With the amount of available storage space for the price, it's the best Bang for the Buck

Rosewill RCSC-18010 [3-Pack] SATA Cable 90 Degree Right Angle SATA III 6.0 Gbps, SATA Cable 24 Inches, SATA 3 Cable - 24 Inches, Blue, 3-Pack
Rosewill RCSC-18010 [3-Pack] SATA Cable 90 Degree Right Angle SATA III 6.0 Gbps, SATA Cable 24 Inches, SATA 3 Cable - 24 Inches, Blue, 3-Pack

Pros: Yes they're a jumbled mess in there right now but I so badly needed to replace my aging old red SATA data cables with these blue SATA 3.0 data cables and so glad I did. Already notice the increased transfer speeds immediately! I'll deal with the cable management later.

Cons: I dunno, the 90 degree angle maybe? I prefer the straight connectors myself. They work like I need them to.

Overall Review: Bought these as part of a package deal and as mentioned above, I desperately needed to replace my old red SATAs and I'm glad I did.

Very Unsatisfactory Customer Service!

Tried to cancel my order shortly after placing it but the seller completely ignored all messages from NewEgg and myself and shipped it anyway.. NewEgg and I tried three different times to request a return, instead we received 3 identical copy-&-paste responses in broken English that didn't even relate to canceling my order! After 3 weeks I still received the part and had to get NewEgg to issue an RMA because the seller just couldn't understand.
