Pros: Long life expectancy: This has one of the highest shock tolerance ratings (possibly the highest) of all native SATA drives. Only SAS and SCSI drives beat it. The difference between the MTBF rating and actual life expectancy is generally attributed to shocks taken by the drive, so this is important. The ES.2 drives are designed for low-end servers, but are also perfect for desktops that value stability. Performance: 32 megs of cache, native SATA, seek times of a modern drive, 'nuff said. Price: Not much more expensive than standard 7200 rpm workstation drives, with much higher quality. 5 Year warranty.

Cons: Requires a SATA power connection as well as the SATA port, or a $3 adapter to change 4-pin Molex to SATA. Most modern power supplies only come with 4 SATA power connectors on two cables, which can be a problem if you are building a RAID and use one up for your optical drive. Really, though, there are no cons.

Overall Review: Spend the extra $20-$30 on this drive over the 7200.11, you won't regret it. This all applies to the 250 gig ES.2 model as well. I use seagate ES drives for replacements on a large network (~120 machines) of 911 emergency call servers at work, and have not been disappointed yet, which is good, because some sites are an 8 hour drive away. WD is the only other manufacturer that I know of making SATA drives that are designed for server use right now, and I know my experience is unusual, but I've never had a drive by them that didn't fail long before it should have.

Pros: - Dual-band N - ARMv7-based chipset is fast - Wireless Bridge Mode capability built-in - Some nice extras like USB port that can turn it into a media server - Those extra features still work in wireless bridge mode, which is nice - Buffalo-provided software is very capable - Stock firmware is Linux-based and can be accessed at command-line with the right tricks (see Other Thoughts)

Cons: - Very difficult, if not impossible to upgrade to DD-WRT (possibly due to a firmware bug in 2.09, which might be fixed in 2.13) - Poorly written documentation that buries important points and requires a lot of guesswork. - Changing it into Wireless bridge, AP, or wireless extender mode is only possible by pushing a "mode" button on the back of the router a certain number of times. The lights don't make it terribly easy to tell what mode you're in, and it changes default IP address between certain modes.

Overall Review: I bought this intending to flash it to use it as a wireless bridge (take existing 5Ghz wireless network and turn it into wired ethernet ports for my office.) It comes with no real documentation, and the GUI interface gives no indication that wireless bridge mode is even an option, so I tried to flash it to DD-WRT. I have Buffalo firmware v2.09 on it, and I followed exactly what others had done to get this model with that firmware to flash to DD-WRT, but no success. It even went through the flash process with the progress bar and declared success, but always back to the same stock firmware. Eventually, I looked at Buffalo's site and the release notes for the newer update of firmware 2.13: they fixed a bug that prevents flashing the firmware in that version sometimes. Presumably, that means the bug existed in my device at 2.09, so I'm guessing my device is in the "sometimes" for that bug. I also noticed that they claimed the stock firmware supported wireless bridge mode, so I downloaded and picked through the very long official manual. Lo and behold, the mode button and nothing else can change it to wireless bridge mode. It was not a particularly user-friendly experience, but I did get it into wireless bridge mode and configured properly without too much trouble after that. It's working like a champ right now. If you are really set on using DD-WRT firmware, I suggest getting the WZR-600DHP2D (extra "D" on the end) That supposedly comes with a buffalo-modified version of DD-WRT preinstalled, and presumably allows upgrade to other DD-WRT versions. Newegg has it listed as out of stock as I write this, but if they don't have it in by the time you're looking, I can confirm it exists in the wild... They do price that version higher than the non-"D" version. If you want to save cash, maybe try upgrading the stock buffalo firmware on this one to 2.13 if 2.09 doesn't work for you using the webflash with DD-WRT 23503 or later. I haven't tried it, but others have credibly claimed that they were able to get this working. NOTE: If you use the special secret admin account it gives you some extra links with options like enabling telnet on the router under Advanced ->Admin -> System. That didn't help me DD-WRT the router, but it is nice to be able to access the shell. user: bufpy password: otdpopy<CurrentAdminPassword> It took many frustrating hours to get this to do what I wanted it to, which was a pretty basic wireless bridge function. Yes, I should have RT"F"M earlier, but info about basic mode changing functions shouldn't be hidden that far in the (online only) documentation. Also, there should just be an option to change the mode in the GUI itself, not just through a push-button that has to be pushed in some secret sequence. Lose two eggs for that.

Pros: - Good quality video - Wide angle lens - Linux-compatible (Works for me on Ubuntu 18.04 out of the box with no need for driver install or special configuration.) - Included physical door to block video for security. (Nothing for microphone, but you can easily unplug the USB.) - Clever monitor mount fits well on even monitors with sloping backs like mine.

Cons: - Took a long time to ship from Hong Kong, (But that was during the start of the quarantine when a lot of things were very delayed and webcams especially hard to get.)

Overall Review: I'm using it with Skype in Linux, and it works well.

Pros: * Good quality materials and construction * Well thought-out design with spaces to hide cables and allow airflow Great for making a well-cooled, but quiet machine with lots of 140mm fan options (larger fans = most airflow for least noise. 140mm is the biggest fan you'll find on normal PC cases.) - Mounting for a large up to 280 mm water cooling radiator and/or two 140mm fans on top, also has holes for 120mm fans and 240mm radiator - Second mounting for a 240mm radiator or two 120mm fans at the front of the case. - Mounting for 140mm intake fan at the bottom of the case. (Bottom intake fan rests right against the holes at the bottom of the case. Having the low pressure intake side of the fan right up against the case holes like that creates some noise, but the only case I've seen with a stand-off hood to solve that issue is the *much* more expensive Cosmos 1000) - Bottom mounting for PSU with large fan intake. I used a PC Power & Cooling Silencer MK III. - Comes with two very quiet 120mm fans pre-mounted, one on the front for intake, the other on the back for exhaust. The front mount can hold up to two 120mm fans, or the aforementioned 240mm radiator and associated 120mm intake fans. - The side plate also has a 140mm fan mounting available. Other nice details: - Hole in the MB tray for easy access to the rear mountings of CPU coolers. - Extra cubby hole for SSD back behind the MB tray next to the PSU. I didn't use it, but it's available. - Easy access thumbscrew-removable side doors on both sides. - Vertical rail mounting for 2x3.5 and 2x2.5 inch hard drives. This includes pre-installed rubber grommets for vibration damping on the 3.5 inch drives. The vertical rail is removable with thumbscrews for easy mounting, and it is positioned to give good airflow to the drives from the front panel fans. - Front USB2, USB3, audio, and power/reset switches are at the top, easily reachable for mounting on the floor or in an under-desk cabinet, as I did. - Removable semi-screen covers the bottom intake holes. It's not a real dust screen and far from being a filter, but the holes are small enough to keep out the larger chunks that might be on a floor in a floor-mount scenario. Being removable makes it easier to clean.

Cons: Mostly minor: - I would have preferred to see a legit dust screen on the bottom intakes. The one provided is better than nothing, but not great. - The behind-PSU cubby hole for a 2.5 inch drive is not ideal because there's no airflow or cooling back there. Then again, most 2.5 inch drives, especially SSDs should be fine due to low heat dissipation and the high tolerance of laptop drives. Just don't try to put a 2.5 inch non-SSD server drive back there. - The power and reset buttons feel kind of cheap and don't give good feedback when you operate them. Also, they're connected to each other, and I'd prefer if they were separated a bit. - No 3.5 inch front mount hole for card readers and the like.

Overall Review: I bought this as a new build for my wife. I made a low-mid range gaming rig with: - AMD A10-7800 CPU - R970X 4GB graphics - PC Power & Cooling Silencer MK III PSU - 1 2.5 inch SSD OS drive - 1 3.5 inch HDD storage drive - 1 DVD drive - 1 3.5inch front card reader for which I had to get a conversion plate that mounts poorly (more the fault of the conversion plate, but I wish the case had come with a proper front 3.5 inch bay.) - Relatively low-end CPU air cooler installed, but I tested my old Zalman CNPS9700 (it's a large air cooler) for fit in this case and it was fine. The case makes it fairly easy to hide almost all cables behind the motherboard plate, and there are well-placed and well-sized holes to bring them in/out from behind there. The one exception is the vertical post mount for the hard drives. I had to wrench the SATA power cables around more than I wanted to to get both drives connected with the HDD on the top inside and the SSD on the lower outside. It works ok, though. I was very pleased with the variety of high-quality cooling options in a case that came at a solidly mid-range price. 140mm fans make a huge difference if you want to make things quiet without sacrificing cooling capacity. They actually cool better in most cases due to higher CFM throughput. My wife has been very pleased with this build. The case has been simple and well-made, which is exactly what we were hoping for,

Pros: Cheap-ish for what it claims to be. Too bad it's not that

Cons: - It doesn't fit properly, you have to turn it so that it hangs off the top of your card and doesn't cool ram or power components at all. It looks like it should go sideways, but in that position it hits other expansion slots. I bought it for an ATI 6870, but putting it up against an Nvidia Ti560, it wouldn't have fit that, either. - The fan is not 4-pin PWM compatible. Maybe I didn't read it closely enough, and that's my bad, but it does say 4-pin. The 4-pin is a molex connector adaptor that does come with it, but only has two pins connected. To me, saying 4-pin is very misleading. - The fins on one corner, and the last one along an edge were bent. It comes with little rubber grommets that fit into those pins to attach the fan, so I had to pull the corners of the last two fins off completely to get that mounted. Fortunately, they're thin and cheap so easy to remove.

Overall Review: Very disappointed. I was trying to replace just the fan on Sapphire 6870 card, but it had an odd 4-post pattern where they're all 3 that I can find, so I went for replacing the whole heatsink. It looks like I'll have to just bite the bullet and replace the whole card. I'll be getting that one from Am*zon.

Pros: It is simple, does its job, has a very good price, but doesn't look or feel cheap. You're not sacrificing quality or function to buy this cable. I get full 5G data rates across it when using it as an extension to another usb3.0 cable and then hub.

Cons: It doesn't have gold connectors or flashy lights... I don't really want those things.

Overall Review: If you're looking for gold-plated connectors, then you must either plan to use this outdoors near salt water or in a similarly corrosive environment, or you have chosen to show off your wealth in a very sad way. USB is a digital protocol, and with that said, 5 gigabit speed is 5 gigabit speed, no matter what you're putting in those bits. If this cable is the right length for what you need, then I recommend you buy it and save the rest of your money for something else.

This part is used to connect certain types of Mitsubishi heat pumps and air conditioners to the Kumo Cloud service. If you do your homework and determine that this is the part number you need for your particular Heat pump, then this vendor will deliver the part as advertised. Not much more to it than that.

Item arrived as described and on time. I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. It was bought to serve as a spare, so I probably won't use it for a while.

Tracking showed this item sat at an intermediate carrier facility for several days, that was unusual, but it was clearly in the carrier's hands, not the sellers, by that time. Also, it did eventually get here within the promised delivery window. All in all, no complaints about this seller.
