Pros: I use this for my media center. You know recording TV, Play HD movies. Does the trick and has enough USB ports for all my addons.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I have 2 320GB harddrives and A DVD drive with a 65Watt Processor. Power supply does just fine!

Pros: I used this in my server rack as high speed transfers. Does the job very well. Even under load transfers are faster then the old 3COM switch. I transfer 30GB files between servers as well as my database server and everything runs great!

Cons: should have got the 12 port switch

Overall Review: Not sure what the power rating would be if all 8 ports are used to the max. but its got top be better then the switch I had with 2 high RPM fans.

Great Drive for all my storage needs

Pros: Cheap drives that work great in a RAID 5. I own a total of 8 Hitachi Drive that run in my server and never had a problem. I copy 30GB files from these and they never have any problems.

Cons: Wish the 2TB drive were cheaper

Overall Review: If you are looking for storage these are the drives for you. If you plan to use these in a database server you might want to rethink it.
