Smaller than I expected, but great resolution and picture quality
Pros: I like the high def quality
Cons: There is no manual for this piece of equipment. It is primarily set to be used on a Windows machine, but I was able to make it work on a Centos 7.4 machine with a development kernel from elrepo "yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml". However, the good software for this camera is related to microsoft, and not linux.
Overall Review: If you purchase this for linux you will have to tinker with things to make it work
Two out of Three Drives were bad
Pros: No Pros
Cons: This was my first purchase of 3 Seagate Drives. I had planned on making two of them a RAID I with a dedicated hot spare for the third in a SuperMicro machine. One drive was bad right off, a second drive lasted less than 24 hours. I have the third drive installed as a non-raid drive while waiting on the replacement drives.
Overall Review: I would not recommend this product as being reliable.
Failed Unit
Pros: After 3 1/2 months I had one of the units fail. I tried to get help from Trenda and Newegg but was not able to a return order because the product was over 90 days old. I ended up ordering two more units, but I was not impressed. The failure was characterized by one unit failing to connect to the other will have a constant red light. Changes related to moving to another outleft made no difference. Other units I have purchased from Trenda worked well.
Cons: It failed after 3 1/2 months
Overall Review: Based on other purchases from Trenda this should be a good product
Poor Product would not advise you to purchase it
Pros: The usb connection is purely for power so you can not control this unit with your operating system; I was using Centos 7.9 The maximum distance I could get it to cover was about 45 feet not 300 as advertised. The biggest problem was that the unit cuts out in transmission about once every 2 minutes for as long as 3 seconds when the distance was as close as 4 feet; I even replaced the cables to see if that was the problem, but the change made no difference. I am going to as for a return of product and refund.
Overall Review: Would highly advise that this product not be purchased
Excellent Device
Pros: I purchased this bundled Raspberry Pi 4 because the case included a fan. I have the unit in production and the fan has kept the temperatures in a satisfactory range : pi@IrFx:~ $ sens CPU temp=36.0 'C 96.8 'F GPU temp=35.0'C temp=35.0'C My objective with this unit was to use hylaFAX+ connected to three usb modem/faxes, and it appears to be working well except for one problem.
Cons: Unfortunately, this system performs some unintended shutdowns. This system is set up to run 24/7 as a receive and send fax device for our organization, and was attached to a ups. After some reading, it appears that the drain of power from the modems via the usb ports is apparently more than the 3amp power supply can manage. I have ordered a 3.5 amp power supply to see if this fixes the problem.
Overall Review: Excellent, except the power supply does not service 3 usb modems satisfactorily. The addition of the 3.5 amp power supply solved my problems with this unit. It is well worth the money. If you do not need to power three usb modems you probably do not need the additional power supply
Great Case
Pros: This has been a great case, and had everything I needed for a laboratory hypervisor that I built. Good air flow, and plenty of room for what I needed. I eventually put in a water cooler that made things a little tight, but it worked.
Cons: The only con I can see is that the panel thumb screws that are used to hold the side panels are a little small and difficult to screw back in with your thumb and forefinger. I would advise that these be a little larger on the next revision.
Picture in NewEgg has Two paper trays
The item delivered to me only had one paper tray. I purchaed a unit with two paper trays. to say the least I am very disappointed. I have sent the venter an e-mail through NewEgg, but they have not had time to respond. Their message stateed it was going to take 2 weeks for them to respond.
I ordered this product 4 days ago, and noticed that it had not been shipped.
I sent the company an e-mail query, but have not recevied a response from them. I am going to wait another 2 days and then ask for a refund.
Very Poor
The published description on the NewEgg Webiste clearly identifies the cards as 'low profile ready'. They were not low profile ready, and have declined to return complaint that I listed with NewEgg. I was surprised!!!!
