Don't Know about the Cache
Pros: Cheapest 32MB drive around.
Cons: 7200.10, not .11. Don't know what kind of changes they made between series, but I feel like I got tricked into buying old technology. Probably shoulda Googled more before purchasing. Very little information regarding the drive. No mention of it on Seagate's website.
Overall Review: mr coffee, the link you posted is for the ST3400620AS. This model is the 320AS. I'm actually kinda worried that the drive doesn't actually have 32MB. The memory IC on the PCB is 8MB and PC Wizard is showing it as 8MB. Seagate tech support confirmed that it has 32MB, but it still feels sketchy to me.
Not worth $30, nor your time
Pros: Signal quality and transfer speeds seem very good when the router actually works.
Cons: Endless connection dropouts, which seem to get worse when more people are connected. The most common dropout is when the wireless network is still up, but unable to connect for about a minute. On rarer occasions, the wireless indicator shuts off completely and the wifi doesn't even show up on available networks. In that situation I either have to power cycle the router or wait like half an hour.
Overall Review: I read through the reviews and saw that the router is almost guaranteed to die in about six months and I was content with that for the price and the speed offered, but the connection dropouts really kill the deal. Stay away from this dreaded thing. I can't even imagine how angry I'd be if I'd payed the full retail price. BTW, I haven't tested the wired functionality.
Garbage: Died after very minimal use
Pros: Worked well when I first got it.
Cons: Manufacture Date: June 2010 Purchase Date: November 27, 2010 Died after very light usage. Will not read Blu-rays or DVDs anymore, but CDs okay. May very well have broken long before the two year mark, but I don't know because the drive was used so infrequently. Never even got to burn a Blu-ray. My refurbished Toshiba HD DVD drive is even older and is still running strong.
Overall Review: I just have bad luck with optical drives. I've had four LITE-ONs die just after a year and now this. Best drive I've owned is a Pioneer DVD-RW that's 6 1/2 years old and still running.
No More Connection Drops!!! =D
Pros: - Dirt cheap - Rock solid connection - Saves you modem rental fees - Small footprint
Cons: - You know something was wrong with the device at one point in time because it's recertified
Overall Review: WOOHOO!!! This is the first time I've ever been able to have torrents running without constant connection drops. I bought a D-Link DIR-625 because I thought it'd be a decent router for torrents. Nope, there goes the internet. So then I set up an Athlon XP computer running IPCop to handle torrents. Strike two! That left one last item in the chain to replace, that fugly, gigantic Motorola SBV5220. Whaddya know, everything's running flawlessly now. I was about to spend $70 on a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, but Newegg used its psychic abilities and put this one on sale. A++
Card Not the Same as Pictured
Pros: Cheaper than the PCI version.
Cons: The card I received has a passive cooler on it. The pictures show an active cooler. Avoid if you plan on overclocking.
Overall Review: Bought to compete in PowerColor's lowest 3DMark03 score contest so for my purposes, it's a con that the AGP card is cheaper than the PCI version. I need something slower! lol
You get what you pay for =(
Pros: Very cheap. Was like $1 after rebate.
Cons: I know these are cheap headphones, but I'm really disappointed with the amount of bass these can produce. There's about as much bass as my behind the head Sony pair that was popular before Walkmans went out of style. I thought the bigger size would equate to bigger sound, but I was wrong. In summary, if you need bumpin bass, these headphones aren't for you.
Overall Review: Haven't tested the mic yet so I can't comment on that.
