Pros: Easy to install, good security, easy to understand interface. Panda Customer Service has always been easy to talk to in the rare event I had a question. Perfect for anyone who wants to install it and forget it.

Cons: Near the end of each support period there is almost daily "reminders" that the support period is up soon - no way that I've ever found to turn it off. Only a problem for the last aprox 14 days of your year term, however. To date I've only found one program that had any serious problems with Panda - but I assume this means there are more. My younger siblings play Maplestory and its anti-hacking tool forcibly shuts down ALL of Panda's protection features and actually makes Panda crash. The solution is to turn off "Protection from Unknown Threads" and "Vulnerability" protection - then this doesn't behave this way. Again, the only application I've ever run into like this.

Overall Review: I've been using Panda at home since 2007, upgrading each year - to date only one program I've ever found had a problem and I found a compromise to solve that one problem. Only give it 4 eggs due to the horrible nagging to renew at the end of the year.

Pros: * Relatively quiet * Easy to Install

Cons: Does a poor job of keeping the CPU cool - something it is designed to accomplish.

Overall Review: My unit was not defective, the fan works fine and during post of my Lenovo D20 it spins up quite nicely but even with fan settings on "High Acoustic" setting the device cannot keep up with my Xeon 5570. I had issues with overheating. I replaced it with Intel BXSTS100A and no longer have issues. Sadly I didn't keep all the packaging for this so I doubt I can get a refund for it.

Pros: Good cable length. Superior Sound Quality! Attractive look, feels well crafted, nice insulation coat. Great price for what you get!

Cons: It looks nice and all, but after 1 winter living in my car it has developed a problem. It occasionally only plays out of just one speaker now, but I can solve the issue by creatively bending the cable - feels like a disconnect somewhere. A lower quality cable doesn't have the same problem, so relatively sure this issue is the cable, not my car-port or iPod.

Overall Review: It really does sound that much better. I'm replacing my broken one with the same model. We'll see if it was a fluke, or if the Michigan winter weather did indeed cause the defect. For $10 it's worth another try.

Pros: Cool, quiet, functional.

Cons: About as fast as most of my older drives, not a drive for a gamer in my opinion, however I wouldn't call this a CON as the drive is billed as a low energy drive.

Overall Review: To date I have never had a WD drive arrive DOA or survive less then 5 years. Actually some very old sub-30G drives still survive that I've passed down to family members. I expect this drive will be no exception.

Pros: Does what was needed, functional, a happy color.

Cons: Not super flexible, but pretty par for the course - not really a Con.

Pros: Looks very nice, LED was a nice touch, love that the lock requires a key. Was placed in a very crowded machine, kept the drive nice and cool!

Cons: LED is always on, and surprisingly bright, not good if you need the room dark. (Wasn't a problem for me.) I had to Return this device, I bought it with a 1T Western Digital Green drive connecting to an older ASUS KV8 Motherboard. (no advanced SATA Operation options) The drive connected properly through the dock would stay nice and cool however transfer to and from the drive would sometimes be at a "normal" rate, then sometimes it would crawl, taking >30 minutes to transfer maybe 2GB from one drive to the drive in the dock. Transfer wasn't consistent through the dock. See Other Thoughts.

Overall Review: I don't know if it was because the device was used with a MB that didn't support advanced SATA capability or if the Dock itself was to blame, but the drive connected directly to the motherboard (same controller port as was used with the dock) solved my transfer consistency problems. I wouldn't recommend this dock to anyone without advanced SATA capability and even that may not help you.
