Fast!

Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 2924B002 4800 x 4800dpi 48bit USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Interface Flatbed Scanner
Canon CanoScan LiDE 200 2924B002 4800 x 4800dpi 48bit USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Interface Flatbed Scanner

Pros: There aren't very many LED scanners in the market for some reason as I do not know why? These thing is so fast and does a great job just like my Epson Perfection but is a lot faster. No warm up needed.

Cons: I don't have much of a complaint but the sound when scanning is high pitched.

Overall Review: Great scanner for the money and the speed.

Most Critical Review

RMA status painful!

LITE-ON Black 8X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Disc Combo Model iHES208-08 LightScribe Support
LITE-ON Black 8X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Disc Combo Model iHES208-08 LightScribe Support

Pros: Speed is great for watching Blu-ray flicks.

Cons: Had this drive since July of last year. About 4 months ago it quit reading DVD's and burning DVD's yet it could play blu-ray just fine. Contacted Lite-On 2 months ago and their RMA process is crazy. I keep having to send them emails requesting updates. Either they make so many excellent drives that the RMA process isn't needed much or they have a difficult time doing simple things.

Overall Review: I will let you know if they ever get around to processing my RMA>

Great for MBP

Pros: Really impressed with the speed of these drives. Even though I do now have SATA 6.0 they run just fine with SATA 2.0.

Cons: None, they are quiet and just purr.

Overall Review: Once again Western Digital hit a home run with these.

Excellent design

Pros: Runs quiet with fan on. The design is sleek. eSATA is nice to have although the speeds I get aren't even close to SATA 1.0 yet.

Cons: Needs rubber boots on the bottom.

Very nica enclosure!

Pros: This is a great enclosure, I only wish they would make a nice hard drive one to match.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: I copy about 50 DVD's a week and burn about 50% of that with my LiteOn DVD burner and everything works smoothly.
