Pros: Provides 5 GHz 802.11ac connectivity with great speeds in our backyard. Can connect anywhere on our 1/2 acre lot with zero issues. Can connect 2 houses over on 2.4 GHz. This little AP is amazing. I'm using it in normal AP mode, not mesh. Operates stand-alone without controller software or Cloud Key, but features are limited. Initially configured via smart phone app. Obtained a Cloud Key and really got this thing configured perfectly. Powering this via a Cisco 2960X PoE switch.

Cons: Not a con, but completed multiple surveys to determine the exact placement to provide the best 802.11ac coverage in my back yard. I wasn't too concerned with 2.4 GHz coverage as you could place this thing anywhere on our 1/2 acre lot and connect via 2.4 GHz.

Overall Review: I'm a wireless engineer by day with 13 years of 802.11 Enterprise experience. I have ran Enterprise gear at home for almost a decade. I used this indoors for about a week before finding time to install outdoors. I was impressed, so I have two UAP-AC-HD and a single UAP-AC-IW-US coming in the mail from NewEgg. This implementation will be replacing my aging Cisco 2504 WLC and two Cisco 2802i AP's. I wanted to replace my Cisco 2504 WLC with a new Cisco 3504 and continue using my Cisco 2802i AP's, but it is unfortunately cost prohibitive. My Cisco 2504 WLC will make a place in my home lab instead.

Pros: Would be nice if it actually worked. Motor didn't work, didn't spin up any discs.

Cons: Ended up waiting a long time to use it and when I did, it didn't work. Long past NewEgg return period or manufacturer warranty.

Overall Review: Ended up finding a naked CD-RW / DVD-ROM drive from an old laptop and replaced the drive in the enclose and it works fine.

Pros: Works well, I used two kits for 32 GB RAM in my C2550d4i based FreeNAS server.

Cons: None

Pros: Price, power, temperature, size

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: I purchased 6 x 8 TB WD Red drives to replace my current 6 x 3 TB WD Red drives in my FreeNAS server. I'm running the latest version FreeNAS-9.10-STABLE-201606270534 (dd17351). The drives were immediately recognized. I let them idle for a few days and then started to replace one drive at a time in my ZFS RaidZ2. Resilvering is taking 12 hours per drive. I imagine that this is a fairly good/intensive test for each drive as it resilvers. The FreeNAS server is running on an ASRock Rack C2550D4I with the latest BIOS, latest BMC, and latest onboard controller software. I replaced my RAM before starting the upgrades - went from 16 GB of non-ecc DDR3 2133 MHz to 32 GB of ECC DDR3 1600 MHz. Zero issues so far and i've replaced 3 drives with the 4th resilvering currently. All 12 drives are plugged in to the motherboard, once the array is replaced and has automatically grown (taking a leap of faith on what FreeNAS says it will do) i'll disconnect and remove the old 3 TB drives. Power consumption increased 42w total for the additional 6 drives. I imaging resilvering is increasing the power usage a little bit, but i'm very pleased. I build for 3 years, to align with drive warranty, these fit well.

Pros: Fits in my Rosewill 4U rack-mount server case with about an inch to spare. Front to back airflow, keeps my FX-8320 cool, stock CPU settings and not overclocked although there is room to do so and stay at good temps.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Did not use included fan controller. Motherboard fan power settings are set manually to full.

Pros: This is my second 4U Rosewill case, my other has 12 x hot swap bays. These really clean up a network rack. I consolidated 3 physical servers into a virtual server and used this case for better airflow.

Cons: Heavy, but not really a con. It's a solid case.

Overall Review: Two SSD drives for VM operating systems and two spinning disks for storage. Case fits a 92 mm Zalman cooler with about an inch to spare. Everything seems to stay pretty cool.
