Pros: verage 4 stars. 5 stars if you need these pros, or 3 stars if you are bothered by cons. Huge portable storage - 1TB Amazing 1TB in 2.5 inch format, case slightly larger than 9.5mm thick drive. Low power consumption drive, powered via USB 3.0 cable (USB 2.0 compatible). Advanced twin 500GB platter capacity gives better than 7200RPM drive performance, only when reading single large sequential (unbroken) files. Up to 105 to 110 MB/s sequential 2MB read/write performance. Incredible sequential performance due to Advanced Format, which has 4k sectors (eight times larger than the previous 512b). Very quiet. Clever case design with USB 3.0/2.0 compatible cable and interchangeable adapters for SATA/300 drive to USB 3.0, Thunderbird, Firewire. Great price, value for huge 1TB amount of storage. As a package this drive is great value. Compact 1TB storage 2.5 format with 18 inch cable is perfect for mobile use.

Cons: Mobile use caution!!! Slick plastic case looks great, but spinning drive is easily destroyed if slips or dropped in operation. I have personally destroyed a similar drive that slipped off my mini-tower PC onto the carpet. Click-click not funny. Highly recommend owners attach rubber feet (not include) or velcro to a fixed surface. Real world use 28 MB/s read/write performance (non sequential) lower than comparable 38 MB/s 7200RPM drives, including if used with Windows Backup software. 5400 RPM slow speed causes latency performance bottleneck with heavy workload or many small files. USB 3.0 and NCQ : Native Command Queuing does not overcome 5400 RPM latency bottleneck on many small files. Drive may hang older PCs and laptops because USB 3.0 and multi core CPU helps prevent hangs. Windows backup software will be useless for many because of slow real world performance and latency bottleneck. However, it is great to backup single large files up to 1TB total. Either Mac Time Machine reformat required, or Windows NTFS default format but not both. NTFS is cross compatible but not Time Machine compatible.

Overall Review: Overall you must know your requirements to get full value. Best use for this physically small, high capacity 1TB portable drive is fast mobile backup of single large files (2MB or greater) like MP3 or movies. But, secure the drive with rubber feet or velcro. If you plan to use the Windows Backup software it works best on newer computers with USB 3.0 I/O, and multi core capable CPU to prevent hangs. MacOS users will need to reformat to use on Time Machine backup.

Pros: Installs simply with software disk, experts can log in and use wizards. Our install detected a bad network cable, very cool. The DIR-657 has 4x LAN and 1x WAN 1Gbps ports, and wireless rated for 300Mbps IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab, IEEE 802.11n/g. We measured a WAN Uplink Speed of 1042Kbps (1MB/sec) on the WAN connected to Cable and Broadband network. Our first speedtest.net on wired LAN client was 113ms ping, 5.05 Mbps down, 0.93 Mbps upload (good for our area). At first the router & Wi-Fi work perfectly. On the LAN we connected a Synology file server, which can practically serve files up to 240 Mbps (30 MBps) on the LAN. A Synology PC client on the D-Link DIR-657 wired LAN measured a file download rate over 200 Mbps (25 MBps), and 2.4GHz wireless client file download was over 96 Mbps (12 MBps). Comparisons were about x10 to x20 times faster than the old MR814 router we replaced. The 192.168.0.1 web configuration tool has five categories Setup, Advanced, Tools, Status, Support. The Support category is the key, with explanations of each feature. Click Support on the top toolbar for a feature map. Then click on one of the four left menu categories: Setup, Advanced, Tools, or Status to display a page with detailed explanation of each feature. There are many option web pages: Setup has 6, Advanced has 17, Tools has 9, Status has 8, Support has 5. You can test drive a DIR-657 simulator at the D-Link website: support.dlink.com/Emulators/dir657/100/index.html An updated firmware version is available on D-Link support website: www.dlink.com/us/en/support/product/dir-657-hd-media-router-1000 After a couple weeks we decided to try streaming movies using the Synology Media Server to our TV over Wi-Fi. This router locked up, with details listed under Cons below. Since D-Link puts so much detail into their support, I opened a ticket and they promptly responded. Basically, I performed a factory reset, and followed their instructions completely, but while streaming improved the router still locked up. Due to our families complaints we removed the router from use until a streaming fix becomes available.

Cons: Basically two (2) major flaws. **First, there are no indicator lights for the 4 LAN ports, and no method in the web interface to check nor test LAN ports. **Second, Media Streaming over Wi-Fi continued to lock up our router requiring a complete power down reset. Also, the router locked up completely while copying large files over Wi-Fi. I recognize everyone has a different situation and your mileage may vary - this may be a great router for you. But, none of the other routers we tested had these problems. I tried many advanced configuration options to improve the streaming and large file transfer. Finally, the steps suggested by D-Link support might help others. I reset the router first. Here is the response we got: ---------- As per the information provided in the email, we understand that the router locks up when either streaming movies or copying large files over wireless connection. We would suggest you to do the following steps:- Step 1 Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DIR series router into the address bar (default is http://192.168.0.1). Press Enter. Step 2 The default user name is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click on OK. Step 3 Click on the Advanced tab and click on Firewall settings tab to the left. Under ALG configuration, uncheck the option "RTSP". Click on Save settings. Step 4 Click on the Advanced tab and click on Advanced network tab to the left. Check the option "Enable Multicast Streams". Click on Save settings. Step 5 Click on the Advanced tab and click on Advanced wireless tab to the left. Check the option "WMM Enable". Click on Save settings. Step 6 Click on the Advanced tab and click on QoS engine to the left. Uncheck the option "Enable QoS Engine". Click on Save settings. Verify the connectivity. If the issue persists, we would suggest you to reset and reconfigure the router. Note:Resetting the router will wipe out all the settings on the device. ---------- I really liked this router at first. There were no Wi-Fi issues during normal use before Media Streaming, and copying large files over Wi-Fi.

Overall Review: The router has a great case design. It is nice looking, easy to install, and unobtrusive. The price is amazingly low for the speed, capabilities. If it works for you, no doubt you will love it. However, we disliked the lack of LAN indicator lights and lack of LAN port checks in the web interface. Also, the lockups became intolerable and other family members pulled out the router repeatedly after it locked up during Media Streaming and copying large files over Wi-Fi. I cannot recommend this router favorably until something is fixed in firmware or otherwise fixed via workaround to give reliable streaming. It is possible D-Link will resolve my issue in the future and I can update my review.

Pros: Runs 9th gen Intel CPU. Includes DVI video port. Multiple PCIe slots, both 16x and 1x M2 compatible. Good RAM compatibility.

Cons: Was unstable when purchased. BIOS settings worked. But W10 would not finish loading before the system froze. I was able to fix this problem and board runs great now.

Overall Review: Great value, great product.

Pros: Stays cool because its got huge heat sinks. Over Clocks fantastic. Runs fast, plays anything. Will do 82-84MH/s forever.

Cons: Size is unbelievable. Better check for fit in your case. It fits in my full tower.

Overall Review: Outstanding value. Got as part of a bundle with motherboard. Helped create a great gaming PC. Nothing compares for performance, overclocking, air cooling, and even MH/s.

Pros: Appears working until plug in wall first time.

Cons: F04 error = DOA According to APC website: F03 On-Battery Xcap Overload ****F04 Clamp Short F05 Charge Error F06 Relay Welding F07 Temperature F09 Internal Error Errors F03-F09 cannot be corrected by the user, contact SEIT Technical Support for assistance.

Overall Review: My first one works great. But this one is DOA. Processing RMA.

Pros: Lots of space, if need more just remove something. Recommended in LTT videos. Everything is organized, well thought out, and practical. The more I look into it there is more to like. Outstanding value, will purchase another soon.

Cons: Nothing. Everything is great.

Overall Review: Outstanding value, will purchase more because it is great workmanship.

Bought three used motherboards. Condition is very good to excellent. All tested working, except I haven't tested all PCIEx slots yet (not expecting any issues). The used prices were very good, shipping was from Newegg and fast. Overall great experience and seller.

Package came fast, no issues. Product is perfect. Thank you.
