Great Price, Great Product

Pros: Good price for the tech. Uses same RAID controller software as ioiSATA SPM393.
Cons: No reviews. I was a little hesitant to purchase and be the guinea pig but, the price point made it hard to pass up. No regrets so far.
Overall Review: I used three 3TB Seagate NAS drives and two WD Green 3TB drives. (Current SPM393 array uses all WD Green drives and has been working for over 2 years with one rebuild due to me fiddling with HD cables - not recommending but, my experience has been a pleasant suprise.) I recieved the box and populated it with 3TB drives, followed directions to setup a RAID5 array (set DIP switches and hold a button till it beeps). I placed a small file on the array, then pulled and reinserted a drive. *Array started rebuilding - file still accessible. Pulled same drive during rebuild and replaced with spare. *Array started rebuilding - file still accessible. Pulled power during RAID rebuild, waited a few seconds and powered back on. *Array continued rebuilding - file still accessible Pulled power and swapped drives in positions 2 and 4 then powered back on. *Detected new drive positions and continued rebuilding RAID5 array - file still accessible. I couldn't figure out a way to trip it up, seems solid. Didn't try configurations other than RAID5. Took about 30 hours to transfer 8TB to the array over eSATA comes to roughly 75Mbps or just under 10MB/s. Don't know if the bottleneck is the box or my HDs but, fast enough for my implementation. Been up for almost a month now hosting files for PLEX/Owncloud servers and automatic backup of picture folders that are added to daily, so far flawless 5 Stars.
2nd set works great

Pros: More RAM than I need at a reasonable price. Scored 0 errors after 2 full passes of Memtest+.
Cons: 1st set I got was defective, had to RMA. Took one egg for the hassle and one for the shipping cost.
Overall Review: Return shipping cost for RMA increased cost of RAM almost 10%. In retrospect, should have just spent the extra 10% upfront on a little faster RAM.
3 out of 3 ain't bad.

Pros: Bought 3. Passed diskcheck and combined with two WD green drives for a RAID5 array. Loaded up 8TB of files on them are so far working flawlessly. (Not a recomendation - just what I had available)
Cons: None so far
Works as advertised

Pros: Plug and Play, does what it says.
Cons: Included cover is ill fitting. Too large and case slides around in the cover -1 Star.
Good for 6 months then died

Pros: Quiet and effective while it lasted. Cheap.
Cons: Only lasted 6 months.
Overall Review: Not bad for the price, be nice if it was a little more durable.
Works as advertised

Pros: Looks great in the living room. Room for 6 Hard Drives plus an Optical. Lots of metal.
Cons: Sharp edges inside and out, clumsy people like me can cut themselves opening the front flip down panel to access USB ports. Lights are pretty bright, annoying if you fall asleep in your bean bag chair. No IR remote or available USB ports for an addon unless you keep the flip down panels open.
Overall Review: I have a 5 disk RAID array plus the sytem drive running in this box, all 3.5 drives. Didn't have any problems with screws lining up and power supply slid right into place. Not able to dress the cabling as nice as I would like because of the hard drive orientations in the cassette but, everything fits and works, just ugly when you open the case.
