Great drive.
Pros: Very pleased with the drive. It has the highest cache I ever seen for the drive because of Blu-Ray. It's really great for backing up servers onto Blu-Ray. It runs smoothly on Windows Server 2008 and Nero 8.0 and backing up onto DVDs are faster than normal because of the cache on the drive.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: The Dual-Layer Firmware was already installed when I got the drive. I used Nero's Infotool and it says that it has Dual-Layer BD-R.
Doesn't work the way suppose to
Pros: None
Cons: The cable doesn't give out the signal correctly. Hooked this up from my desktop, laptop, and XBOX One, and the XBOX One gets the signal for 1 second and disconnects. I wouldn't recommend this product.
Overall Review: The HDMI connector actually has a Video controller chip inside it, but, doesn't work. Not worth buying.
Not True SSI EPS
Pros: Has 8 SATA ports
Cons: It's not SSI EPS. My ASUS Motherboard, DSEB-D16 says that it needs a SSI EPS Power supply, but, it doesn't have a 4 port connecter. A SSI EPS PSU should have a 24-pin, an 8-pin, and a 4-pin connector to be a SSI EPS. It doesn't work with my ASUS board.
Overall Review: Got to be careful on when it says SSI EPS Power Supply and it doesn't have all of the connectors.
Great mouse.
Pros: Nice mouse. Like the feature of the on/off switch. Works great with Windows and Mac OS X 10.4.11.
Cons: The only downfall I found for a lot of the mice out there is that they don't work with USB to PS/2 converters anymore. I've tried with a few converters that came with my other mice and they don't work. They got rid of the conversion part in the mice.
Overall Review: The mouse is really smooth in both Windows and Mac OS X. Macs picked it up without installing any drivers.
Good RAM
Pros: The price was cheap for the RAM. I got two of them for my IBM Thinkpad A20m to upgrade it.
Cons: Found out that it doesn't work with my IBM Thinkpad A20m, but my old IBM Thinkpad iSeries 1300 (Type 1171) took it well.
Overall Review: My IBM Thinkpad iSeries 1300 was suppose to have a limit of 192 MB of RAM, but I found out that my Thinkpad can do 320 MB of RAM instead.
Excellent Drive
Pros: Very fast drive and alot of storage. Use it as one of my server back up drives to store Ghost Images and it works flawlessly. The price of the drive is cheaper than the Western Digital 1 TB hard drive (Another company I like), but in the Samsung drive, you get 32 MB cache vs 16 MB cache like most other drives have for a 1 TB drive. I recommend this drive because the 32 MB cache helps alot for reading and writing files.
Cons: None
