Pros: reliability - that 2 million hours MTBF was a selling point. (These drives should outlast you and me both - that's about 228 years!) I ordered 4 for a RAID/NAS box I was building - all 4 worked first time, every time. They are running quiet and cool.

Cons: None so far... if they only last 128 years, instead of 228, I will be back to revise/update this review! (-; Um... the labels are just plain white, instead of black, blue, red, green... like another big player in the disk market. (-;

Overall Review: The ones I ordered were from a 3rd-party seller - goHardDrive - who responded quickly to a question pre-purchase, and delivered them in a timely and professional manner. Very happy with the transaction.

Pros: lots of space for the $

Cons: The first one worked fairly consistently for 6 months or so, before it started going unexpectedly unavailable. (Disk not spinning, unit unresponsive.) Their chatroom tech-support guy arranged a replacement - a refurbished one functionally identical. I've had it for maybe 2 months and it's dying just like the first. I was hoping it would provide some online space for movies, music, and such. But it's not reliable enough for that or any other function I'm aware of. I wish I'd spent more. Next time I'll splurge for a NAS with a RAID setup.

Overall Review: Looks like it's no longer available - a favor to would-be customers, IMO. (We use Lenovo 2-disk Raid1 boxes at the office, that have proven more reliable for backup drives.)

Pros: I bought this monitor to replace an aging 22-inch model. (I've been contemplating the switch for some time; Newegg made me an offer I couldn't refuse on the price.) It took maybe 15 minutes to unbox and assemble (attach the base), and swap it out. WOW! What a difference! Everything is blurry because my eyes won't stop doing a Happy Dance in my head! (Nah - just funnin' - everything is good 'n sharp!) The full-HD is nice; I also recently added a Blu-ray reader and did a sneak preview of the Movie Experience... sweeeeeet!

Cons: - Do NOT buy this for the built-in speakers! They might be adequate for Microsoft beeps and dings and chimes and such, but they sound pretty low-fidelity. I'm likely spoilt by my external speaker setup, but Asus should ALMOST be embarrassed by even including speakers. - The external "brick" power supply has its ups and downs. I know the monitor would need to be a little heftier if had it built-in power (it's amazingly slim, from the side-view). But the external brick is just one more meatball on the omnipresent spaghetti pile.

Overall Review: One buying consideration is the 3-year warranty offered by Asus. (I fully expect that warranty to be totally meaningless in retrospect, three years from now.)
