Gets The Job Done

Pros: Much, much cheaper price than a brick and mortar store, free shipping.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Works fine on the Sprint Samsung M240 and M320 phones.
Not What I Was Expecting

Pros: Has jumper to bypass onboard BIOS, very small size, seems sturdy, supports SATA II, supports LBA48, comes with latest firmware and drivers. Allows bootable install of RAIDed Windows XP once everything is figured out. It will get the job done, although I will use it for DVD and backup drive in IDE/SATA mode via jumper setting.
Cons: Confusing instructions, system will not boot if motherboard and card RAID are both turned on and drives are attached to card - at least one must be set to IDE/SATA mode (I was hoping to use both for RAIDing). Poor overall I/O performance compared to SB700. Somewhat of a CPU hog at times. GUI is OK, but need to read all instructions on SI website, 2 or 3 times. Took a lot of trail and error to figure everything out.
Overall Review: Stats from testing using PC Wizard on new Barracuda 250GB drives that were initialized, repartitioned and reformatted (Quick NTFS) before each test was run under Windows XP Pro: RAID0 Seq writes: SB700 55.85mb/s, RC-211 56.03mb/s Seq reads: SB700 227.07mb/s, RC-211 128.92mb/s Buff writes: SB700 249.82mb/s, RC-211 94.72mb/s Buff reads: SB700 341.64mb/s, RC-211 170.08mb/s Random reads: SB700 47mb/s, RC-211 40mb/s RAID1 Seq writes: SB700 47.37mb/s, RC-211 40.8mb/s Seq reads: SB700 139.92mb/s, RC-211 100.48mb/s Buff writes: SB700 169.47mb/s, RC-211 59.87mb/s Buff reads: SB700 228.49mb/s, RC-211 105.79mb/s Random reads: SB700 46mb/s, RC-211 38mb/s IDE/SATA Seq writes: SB700 54.9mb/s, RC-211 55.57mb/s Seq reads: SB700 140.82mb/s, RC-211 102.28mb/s Buff writes: SB700 183.42mb/s, RC-211 85.61mb/s Buff reads: SB700 212mb/s, RC-211 108.29mb/s Random reads: SB700 40mb/s, RC-211 43mb/s
Lame!

Pros: Cheap price
Cons: Unreliable, poor I/O, freezes, almost as if it can't handle the thru-put. Tried 2 different SSD's, 2 different benchmark programs, and another SATA/USB connector for comparison and this one choked every time. Had it 60 minutes and in the trash it goes.
Overall Review: Connection shows up as UASP. I got all excited, for naught...
Good Memory

Pros: Popped these into a mini ITX Intel SoC board and they work and run at advertised settings.
Overall Review: Good memory at a good price. Buy some!
Tiny & Cute Looking!!

Pros: Small form factor - fits perfect in my little SAMA IM01 case Has M.2 slot for storage - use NVMe to free up both your SATA ports Has M.2 slot for WiFi - awaiting Intel CNVi card to test it out Has open end x1 slot - the opening allows full length cards to fit
Cons: Really none at all. Minor stuff like NVMe only runs at PCIe 2 x2 and video card runs at PCIe 2 x1. I knew all of this going in. Been eyeballing this board for a while now.
Overall Review: Installed Ubuntu from USB stick. Did not have to change anything. BIOS was already set for it. I was up and running in under 10 minutes. It went on sale so I bought it just to play around with.
Love it!

Pros: Fast and reliable M.2 drive.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I bought it because it was on sale and I couldn't resist the price. Slapped it into a PCIe adapter card, partitioned it in half, and migrated 2 disks to it. It may not be the fastest out there, yet still plenty fast for me. No complaints.
