Most Favorable Review
Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EACS 1TB 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EACS 1TB 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Huge amount of space, low energy consumption, fast speeds when you need them, and a fantastic price from Newegg.

Cons: I've run out of hard drive slots in my home server.

Overall Review: I own three of these drives in my HP MediaSmart Home Server and would not use another drive. I really cannot say enough good things about these drives. If you are in the market for a 1 TB for some serious storage, look no further.

Most Critical Review

Not very durable

Pros: Good price and sound quality

Cons: I snapped some plastic in the first week. These are not very durable.

Great 24 Port switch

TP-Link 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch | Plug and Play | Sturdy Metal w/Shielded Ports | Rackmount | Fanless | Limited Lifetime Protection | Unmanaged (TL-SG1024)
TP-Link 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch | Plug and Play | Sturdy Metal w/Shielded Ports | Rackmount | Fanless | Limited Lifetime Protection | Unmanaged (TL-SG1024)

Pros: Easy to use, has a lot of ports, and has gigabit speeds.

Cons: Nothing to name.

Overall Review: I just wired most of my house with ethernet and needed an unmanaged switch since I'm not doing anything critical here that would require more sophisticated features. Just plug in the cables and you are done. Enjoy your internet!

Sennheiser CX 485 3.5mm Connector In-Ear Stereo Earphone
Sennheiser CX 485 3.5mm Connector In-Ear Stereo Earphone

Pros: Decent price and build quality. Sound is fine though I don't consider myself to be an audiophile. Haven't broken yet like many other earphones/earbuds I've purchased in the past.

Cons: Nothing yet.

Crucial M4 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT064M4SSD2

Pros: Nice boot drive for a Linux server. Speeds are not as fast as some SSDs these days, but for its purpose it does a fine job.

Cons: A bit slower than its larger counterparts. You can also pick up a 128GB drive for close to the same price right now.

SUPERMICRO MCP-220-00044-0N 1x3.5" to 2x2.5" HD Converter Bracket For 5015A Series Barebone

Pros: Makes good use of the single 3.5" drive slot in the SUPERMICRO SYS-5015A-EHF-D525 1U Intel Atom D525 Server Barebone.

Cons: A bit pricey for a chunk of metal, but it does its job without complaints.
