Pros: Dunno if this second review will post.. I wanted to post my speeds on this 8GB card for ya'll. System: Vistsa 64 Ultimate - E6600 CPU - 4GB ram - Patriot Solid state hard drives in Raid 0. Rosewill SDHS multi card adapter (usb 2.0)

Cons: none for this post

Overall Review: sustained 670MB single file transfer in Vista 64 Ult. : write (average): 8.1MB/sec (no burst) Total time to transfer file on write: about 83 seconds. read: 17.5MB/sec immediate xfer for 10 seconds. Burst to 32MB/sec. read (average): 27.3MB/sec Total time to transfer file on read: about 25 seconds Hope that helps you!

Pros: It looks cool. Hardware components appear in BIOS.

Cons: Spent the better part of 72 hours installing Windows of various flavors, reading reviews and fixes, without any solutions available. I ordered an .M2 (super excited!) and it came up for a Win10 install. Completed install and failed to boot. No fix available. This is THE worst Mobo I've ever spent time on. I'm a Asus fanboy but when they fail, they fail hard.

Overall Review: I'm looking for a different company to be a fan of now. I would NOT recommend this product to ANYone.

Pros: Good replacement tools for someone that keeps losing a piece here and there. Larger wide case fits most of my computer repair kit stuff.

Cons: Cheap. But do you need top quality tools to fix a computer, replace a hard drive, swap out ram, install your OS, make french toast and a latte in the morning? You only need one top quality tool in that list. What makes your espresso better be top quality or you're just not living the caffeine drinkers life man.

Overall Review: The mini screwdrivers are always good to have around. The case is your typical cheap soft plastic with a zipper that gets stuck on the corners as you pull it all the way around just to open/close the case. Minor sufferage.

Pros: Tools are decent. I wouldn't say 'high-quality' though. Everything is still made in China. GWYPF. The Case has all the slots well marked in case you drop it and *everything* falls out, you'll know what slots they fit in.

Cons: Everything you see here is marked, 'made in China'. Get What You Pay For. Grey colored plastic case has hinges for the sides that swing out. So no plastic to break. On the other hand, the clips that keep the case closed are just that. I haven't even pressed the clips and I see the tell-tale white that means the plastic is wearing. I mean, it came brand new??? There were 20 wood/plastic screws holding a molded clam-shell clear plastic over the open case. 20? Really? I used a hand phillips to open. Took me 3 minutes just unscrewing these things. Really??

Overall Review: Shipped *open* style, wide and flat. I would have expected the case's two doors to be closed and shipped with the clips in a locked position. Oh well. I don't have a tool set. I needed one. This one seems to have all the pieces i'll need for the short run. My dad is a mechanic. He took one look at my cool tool set...and laughed. But I expected that.

Pros: Cheap +1 egg

Cons: Cheap -3 eggs The *OTHER* type of cheap. And not the cute little yellow chicks kinda cheap. cheep cheep.

Overall Review: I needed something cheap for a small cheap project and got what I expected. total = 3 eggs

Pros: Small form factor. Updated soft/firmware for larger drives 3TB+ drives. Never failed after 6 months of ALWAYS on and heavy use. 50-70+MB/sec transfers over 1GB lan. Nice! Can be used as a server for almost anything you'd want. 4x2TB Raid 5 setup. Just about 2 hours to create the volume. Rock solid. Even support for an IP camera! Which I use to monitor my front door. I can even play back the video from my Nokia n900 anywhere in the world (DDNS). I have this plugged in directly to my Network switch/router/WiFi. My Samsung TV (with WiFi) picks it up over the network and using DLNA/UPnP I can play all my music and videos direct. GREATEST NAS EVER!!!! Supports/Does/Serves; FTP, HTTP, SNMP, Mail (various), Print, Surveillance (IP CAM), UPnP, iTunes, and more! I use them all.

Cons: People who don't understand what they're getting are lame. Before posting negative reviews try doing your homework and see what it is you NEED before you get what you WANT. Why? Because the two are mutually exclusive! See Other thoughts. Pulling the data cable from you NAS or any other disk system while it's on (meaning a RAID of some such) WILL of course blow your volume. However, you CAN recover it. IF you know what you're doing. IF.

Overall Review: This NAS should be used as a PERMANENT disk server. Moving around any type of 'computer' will probably cause damage. Come on! It's a NAS. Why buy it if you're going to box it up and shelve it? Pathetic. Don't people know that TIME causes things to go from ORDER to Dis-ORDER? Even sitting in a box. If you don't USE it you LOSE it. This has been natural from the beginning of the Universe 13.7B years ago. Chaos is the fundamental system of our world. Even elemental particles* degrade over time. (*you know, the things that make up Atoms that you can't see unless you use the aftermath of the LHC to detect them). Instead people insist on blaming a product that is misunderstood by them(selves) and continue to harp on the poor soulless machine(s) of this world instead of using the greatest computer ever (your brain) to try to comprehend the actual problem(s) which is their/your inability to learn and store basic information about what drives us as human beings. Chaos. Lean about it peeps.
