Great Drive
Pros: Very quiet, very cool running. I did 12 hours of drive testing prior to using this - don't want to have a problem right off the bat - and the case was barely warm. I did go to the WD site and read how to prevent the WD software from installing - and do run the MS program Autostarts - and the WD programs worked. I no longer have the annoying WD program showing up in my XP Tray. Drive is fairly quick - I just wish they had an e-sata interface on the drive. Also very light in weight. The case is fairly easy to get apart (just run your thumbnail in the split - the case is literally a plastic "book") and the drive is the taller 2.5" form factor. I may measure my Lenovo laptop caes and see if I can squeeze it in: A Laptop with 1 TB of space! After several days of using this drive, I'm very satisfied and feel for $200 (and free shipping) NewEgg has delivered a great product and value. Thanks to NewEgg - You guys are my "Go To - Never Fail Vendor!"
Cons: Using the newer USB Micro connector - Now I have to keep several of these lying around. Plastic case and no protective pouch / cover - minor point but still, a point!
Overall Review: Thanks again to NewEgg. Great pricing on great products!
No More Antec P/S For Me
Pros: Fair price - Quiet
Cons: Extremely Poor Service Policy. 6 weeks after I installed the unit, an LED died on the Operator Panel. I contacted Antec Tech Support for Help. Their solution - pull the whole P/S and ship it back! Take down my system for an LED replacement. It's back to PC Power and Cooling for me!
Overall Review: Good product - Questionable reliability - Very Poor Support Policies.
Great Portable Storage
Pros: Small physical size - Large capacity - Multiple I/F options available - Runs quiet - runs cool - Windows 7 x64 & Windows XP recognized and operate flawlessly - Great price for Great performance
Cons: 2TB in this form factor not available yet! ;-(
Overall Review: New Egg shipped the same day - UPS dropped the ball by being closed on New Years Eve Day (this isn't a holiday) and the drive sat in the UPS local station for 4 days.
Best For The Money
Pros: Material choice and finish are spot on perfect: Very heavy contruction means this is robut and doesn't wobble: Fans move a good amount of air and are VERY quiet: having an on / off switch is a nice touch, but having the ability to control the fan speed is wonderful. With 2 angles to pick from I found the perfect angle for using the laptop: While you lose a USB port (to power the fans) you also gain one back: Having a USB port on each side make connecting the cooler that much easier. This is well worth the money - and NewEgg's price and free shipping make it that much better!
Cons: Not cheap - but I'm a believer in "you get what you pay for - if you're careful." I have no con's to list - when was the last time you could say that?
Overall Review: NewEgg continues to rock. I ordered this on a Tuesday morning - Wednesday morning the UPS delivers, AND It's FREE SHIPPING! NewEgg - You guys continue to be my "Go To Guys" for anything you sell and I need. I will have no qualms recommending you to my friends! Happy New Year and Thanks!
Outstanding Monitor & NewEgg Service
Pros: Image that cannot be beat and extremely simple setup. I installed this monitor on my Window 7 64 bit system - and it just worked! No dead pixels / no stuck pixels / absolutely no problem. Color is spot on; picture is beautiful and text is enjoyable. 30" @ 2560 x 1600 is the way to go!
Cons: Stand mounting system is weak. Be careful when you assemble the base to the mounting arm - it's very easy to cross-thread the small screw that holds everything together. The base contains a captive screw and it's difficult to line it up with the metal it screws in to.
Overall Review: I ordered this monitor on a Monday, at 2:00 p.m. and it was delivered the next day - with a UPS charge pf $9.99! Thanks & a Great Job, NewEgg! Any wonder you are my "go to guys" for anything electronic.
Worth Every Cent
Pros: Drive is quiet; haven't burned a coaster yet! Quick, reliable and a great price. Add LightScribe and abaility to burn DVD-RAM discs and this drive does it all. So far I bought 4 - 2 for home & 2 for work system. Very Happy with all 4 dives!
Cons: Non at all.
Overall Review: First 2 drives came with software - last 2 came bare. Pay your money & take your chances!
