Pros: Quiet, cool, and quick. Very nice drive, I'm actually looking to get 4 more in the next year to make a 5x1Tb RAID5 Array.

Cons: I've had the drive drop once, but it could have been because of my controller. I haven't been able to get it to drop again since then.

Overall Review: Well made drive, and keep in mind the 1TB Samsung only has 3 internal discs. Most 1Tb drives have 4 or 5 internal discs. The fewer discs, the less weight that the drive motor needs to move. Seeing as the drive motor is under less load you get: less power consumption, less failure, less heat, and better performance.

Pros: Small for HPTX form factor. If you have a eVGA Classified board then, yes, it will fit in here but it's tight.

Cons: I'm not too big of a fan of having to remove all HDDs just to access the motherboard to make changes. Yes the HDDs are located over the mainboard. In the photos on the site they looked like they went under the mainboard on the other side of the case.

Overall Review: It is 100% aluminum and is fairly light compared to others.

Pros: 100% supported in the stable release of FreeNAS out of the box. Works flawlessly as a nas. Very little power consumption but just enough with ZFS to be able to max out the 1000baseTX adapter, at least for a single user. This would not have enough CPU with software based RAID for high speed multiuser NAS.

Cons: Not any yet and that's odd for me.

Overall Review: I'm normally not an AMD fan but no Atom I found had 6xSATA ports and a PCI-e x4 (2.0) slot. I know it looks like a x16 slot but it's only pinned for x4. Good enough for a 8xSATA RAID controller. My specs: This mainboard. :-P 350w 80+ gold Rosewill PSU 5x3Tb Seagate's 2x2Gb DDR3 10600 Lian Li PC-Q25B case. <--- Bad-axe NAS case!

Pros: Quiet audibly, near unreadable RF emissions (HF radio is fine). It's outlasted 2 previous eVGA SR-2 Classified PSUs. The software and being able to monitor the load, temp, efficiency and fan rpm is a great bonus, though read my cons before you jump because of it. Voltage is extremely stable on the scope across every output.

Cons: OK, It could use another 2 PCI-e power adapters. Maybe it's just my setup but I needed 1 more that the PSU could not offer with only 2 GPUs. The monitoring software, although it's cool, needs work. It's very limited on what it will display that is not Corsair hardware. It only displays temp & load for 1 of my 2 CPUs, 1 of 2 GPUs. I'm not sure how accurate the values are on the current draw. Mine claims that each of my 80w CPUs are drawing 60A from each EPS connector but the PSU is only drawing 298w...Hmmm. Also, 80w @ 12v is closer to 7.5A. ;-) Worst part. Until you disable the "Sierra2Service" it will crash repeatedly whenever the system is running. Most likely the worst piece of code I've even found released.

Overall Review: System Specs: The power supply on this page. :-P eVGA Classified SR-2 board 2x Intel Xeon E5645's 12x 4Gb ECC DDR3 10600 240Gb OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 (win7 x64) 120Gb Corsair Force 3 (ArchLinux) 2x eVGA 280 Superclocked (left over from my last desktop)

Pros: Supports every option you cannot even name. :-P The management console will overwhelm the typical user but the 'out of the box' settings will work for most people. The POE input works great with my Cisco ASA.

Cons: Only option they could add would be a mirror port but that would most likely over double the cost. This really is not a 'Con' but just the only option that could really be added into this.

Overall Review: It gets a bit warm even idle. I raised it up off the desk about an inch to allow air under it and the temp seems much better now. Do not put this in an area that there is no circulation. I would not suggest stacing it on top or in between your router/modem/etc. I mean it, it's a warm box and I think it could overheat.

Pros: Gets the job done and these are quiet if your board throttles them and the system is fairly idle. Good height to fit into almost any case.

Cons: When they run to full RPM they are loud. I say 'they' because I have 2 of them in my tower.

Overall Review: These are more then enough to cool my Xeon e5645's and allow them to naturally overclock from 2.4Ghz to 2.9GHz per core continuously. Maybe just barely, but it gets it done without an overheat.
