Pros: Sturdily built. Good tolerances. Plastic appears durable. Attractive. Has drive activity LEDs.

Cons: Fan is louder than I care to have under my desk, even on low. It's not terrible. But you will not be building a virtually silent PC with the stock fan. Documentation is chintzy -- a single sheet of paper.

Overall Review: The documentation issue doesn't really bother me, other than it does not appear to be readily accessible online. I did, however, subtract an egg for the fan noise. Those of you building for a server room should not be deterred by this.

Pros: Arrived extremely well-packed with bubble wrap, foam, and packing peanuts. Thank you, Newegg, for protecting the drives.

Cons: Bought 5 for a RAID 10 array with one spare drive. One drive had an obvious impact dimple on the surface of the drive case; it was dead on arrival. One had a high S.M.A.R.T. count and was refused outright from being usable to my RAID hardware. I watched as the S.M.A.R.T. errors increased on two other drives over-night. One was kicked out of the array before morning. The other was not far behind. Of the five drives, only one appeared to be truly "safe" for use.

Overall Review: I'm a long time Seagate user. Been happy with them for many years. Only recently have I felt incredibly let down by their product. Having a batch of five drives fail me so completely was the last straw, and so I am posting this review. Thank you, Newegg, for allowing me to RMA these drives. And please, Seagate, return to your former glory. Once upon a time Seagate had *the* quietest and coolest drives out there -- and they worked so well! Now ... not so much.

Pros: I bought 2 of these and they were totally worth it. Easy set up, color great, fast, no complaints. I print a lot of double sided reports. Works great.

Cons: None

Pros: Only had this case for a short time, but had to remark right away how quiet this is. Never had a quieter case. Amazed

Cons: None

Pros: WD makes a solid drive and will continue to be the vendor of choice here. That being said ...

Cons: Eight of these 4TB drives were purchased to populate one 3ware RAID card and one LSI RAID card. All eight drives came up, initialized, and accepted data without issue. Two of the drives failed, one on each RAID card, shortly thereafter. Their replacements (same model) were hot swapped into the arrays and have performed solidly since then (about four months).

Overall Review: With high value data be sure to have a spare drive handy in case you get a lemon. Two out of eight might have just been a fluke and bad luck. But two failures out of the ten total drives (including the two replacements) still amounts to a 20% failure rate, which is extremely high.

Pros: This is a beautiful balance of power, weight, and compactness.

Cons: Not enough memory (immediately upgraded to 10GB by replacing the 2GB stick factory installed with Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM -- N82E16820148734 -- The other 2GB of RAM is on-board and cannot be upgraded). Tried ... really really really tried ... to use Windows 8, but it was a ridiculous waste of time for me. The Asus BIOS made it exceedingly difficult to wipe the operating system and install Windows 7. Almost took an 'egg' away for having a UEFI BIOS, but figured out how to disable the CSM and it was smooth from there.

Overall Review: A very nice travel sleeve is included with the laptop -- but with no compartment for the power adapter. The laptop holds a charge for a long time, but ... still ... would have been nice to keep the cords with it.
