Nice appliance.

Pros: -Supports mirrored raid. -Lot of applets to sync with cloud storage. -Web UI is easy to use. -Set it and forget it. Mostly. -Supports multiple users. -Has a fan to keep drives within safe operating temps.
Cons: -Auto Update isn't a thing on this device so that it never interrupts file transfers without notice. Running updates is pretty painless though. -Opening it back up to replace a drive would be pretty cumbersome. If a drive failed I don't know how you would know which one to replace as I didn't see any markings for that. -Haven't found a ransomware protection applet.
Overall Review: All and all it more than a basic NAS without adding so many features as to be difficult to work with.
Garbage hardware

Pros: Seems like a lot of bang per buck.
Cons: Isn't. There is a factory defect in the LG G2 touch screen that causes dead spots and phantom touches on the screen with in 6 months. I have had 2 LG G2's and its just what they do over time. Replacing the screen, which is expensive and time consuming, is only a temporary fix as it will just burn out the new screen.
Overall Review: Google "LG G2 Dead spot" before you consider buying this heap.
It's a USB 3.0 device. Needs that much power to work right

Pros: It was cheap and it works.
Cons: Low res and frame rate. If it's 1080 p then that's only technically.
Overall Review: You get what you pay for here.
The wife loves it.

Pros: -Single slot. -Fits in a Dell Optiplex 780 Mini/mid tower and makes older games run on maxed out settings well. -GDDR 5. -Instructions that made it easy for a novice to install it. (She didn't ask me questions at least)
Cons: -Out done by Vega 11 intergarted graphics on the new AMD ryzen chips.
Overall Review: A good low end solution for some one that has an older office or family computer they want to game on. Your not gonna be able to play all the latest games but it will open you up to a lot more then most built in graphics chips and at a higher quality on the ones you could already could play on your pc before the upgrade. If your building a pc from the ground up on a tight budget you should spend a little more on some thing from the "GTX 16xx" series or look at AMD's Integrated graphics, Vega 11, which they often call APU's.
it made my wife happy.

Pros: It's hot swap ready. No proprietary drive trays to lose or break.
Cons: No fancy drive trays. I like drive trays.
Overall Review: It's a good use for your old laptop and ssd drives.
An alright buy for some one that doesn't want much.

Pros: Sound quality! I have a 200 watt amp I run this through and it sounds beautiful. Plays .flac and well.
Cons: Video is pretty much worthless because of the size and quality of the screen. Bass boast lessens sound quality a noticeably.
Overall Review: Wait for it to go on sale. I got it for $20 but knowing what I know now I would pay as much as $30. I use this thing a lot and run the battery down almost daily. Personally I am impressed the amount of abuse I lay on it and how well it takes it. I have owned it 5 or 6 months now. No Rockbox sadly.
The device didn't appear to work at first then the reached out.
The device was a USB 3.0 device but didn't say that any where on the box. We figured that out over e-mail.
Don't normally buy from market place but everything came out okay.
I bought from a market place seller by accident but it worked out fine. I ordered during the "covid crisis" so the shipping took an excusable extra couple days.
