Pros: The price relative to the card speed and capacity; much faster than I thought it'd be. At full 10 MP resolution, a RAW image took approximately a second (perhaps a little under) to write. Using an xD Type M, the write time would be 3-4 seconds. Fair lifetime warranty. Card case is included. On the reverse of the card, there's a sticker with lines for you to write on - could help with organization.

Cons: This is a MLC (multi-level cell) rather than a SLC (single-level cell) card. From what I've read, MLC's are cheaper to produce, but are ultimately slower, less reliable, and have a more limited range of operating conditions than SLC's. For the average consumer (including me), the performance difference probably doesn't matter - the price difference does.

Overall Review: Given how cards twice as fast as this one are available, I was truly impressed with the speed of the card in my DSLR. I can't comment on how speedy the card is when interfaced with a computer. Admittedly, this is my first CF, and I've only worked with xD cards prior to this; I'd imagine there are faster CF's out there, but the write speeds can more than keep up with my photography. If you're puzzling over the speeds as I was and have a similar camera, look no further - this one's for you.

Pros: The enclosure warms up with drive use, indicating that it's acting nicely as a heat sink. The included firewire cable was nice and long. The drive access light is very large and goes between blue (idle) and red (access). Great price for a triple interface. Can be mounted vertically, or laid horizontally - rubber along the sides will allow the drive to get good airflow even if used horizontally.

Cons: Out of four enclosures I've worked with so far, this one has been the least friendly. The drive bay slips out of the enclosure in a very strange way, as both the front and rear of the enclosure slip out. Aside from some slightly unclear instructions about the orientation of things, the drive bay had to be forced back into the enclosure (resulting in some metal shavings), and the enclosure mount had to be forced along (I was afraid of stripping the rubber off of the side). The large light isn't the brightest I've dealt with, but it will cast a dim light over a dark room. This is easily the largest of the four enclosures that I have on my desk.

Overall Review: It's an overall good enclosure, but I'm dreading the day that I'll have to open it up to replace the drive inside...

Pros: Small and light. Silver "brushed-metal" variant matches pretty closely with aluminum Mac and accessories. I purchased this to replace an external that took close to an hour for each Time Machine backup; with this drive backups happen so quickly that I don't ever see the computer performing them, even though my computer only supports USB 2.

Cons: The drive disconnects itself. Unlike other reviewers, I've never had the drive disconnect while the computer was in use - it only seems to occur when the computer is suspended ("sleeping"). Even then, it isn't consistent. Sometimes I can go a week without a disconnect, other times it seems to happen daily. I've tried plugging the drive to a powered USB hub and directly to my computer, but it doesn't make a difference. I've been using the drive for 4-5 months now and this issue has not changed during that time.

Overall Review: I purchased the drive at a phenomenal sale price. I'll try to work with Seagate's warranty program to see if perhaps my drive or its cable came from a faulty batch. The drive could probably work nicely as a portable drive that isn't always connected to the computer. For my purposes the disconnects are unsatisfactory. In light of others having similar or worse experiences with disconnections, I'd avoid purchasing this drive unless there are many positive reviews that come afterwards, which would indicate that it was likely a batch issue.

Pros: The adapter works well, and it's fairly long. The flexible cord is over six inches in length (not counting the hard plastic tips).

Cons: Has the four holes for an analog adapter, but these are non-functional. The plastic has a cheap feel to it, particularly around the DVI connector, but this is really a matter of feel and heft. I would not have concerns about the plastic cracking in my laptop bag.

Overall Review: Most of these adapters lack the holes necessary for daisy-chaining this adapter to a DVI to VGA adapter. Adapters (converters) capable of daisy-chaining like that are generally 10x more expensive than this adapter. I didn't buy this adapter specifically for that functionality, but wondered if I could save some money by using this with my Apple DVI > VGA, instead of buying a miniDP (Thunderbolt) > VGA adapter as well. Even though you can physically connect the adapters, I was not able to get the signal to pass through from a late 2011 Macbook Pro to a projector. Neither the system nor the projector responded with the connection was made. It's a fine miniDP to DVI adapter, but don't expect this to be anything more than that.

Pros: It's 16 GB DDR3 1600 with a CAS latency of 10 - you know what you're getting. This is "DBT enhanced" RAM, meaning that GeIL has put it through harsh testing and error-checking before shipping it out, which should decrease your chances of ending up with bad RAM. It survived a few passes through Memtest with no issues.

Cons: None - even the packaging was fairly easy to open.

Overall Review: This is installed in a "Late 2011" Macbook Pro (Macbook Pro 8,2) with no issues and operating at 1600 MHz. Amazing to think that just a few years ago, 16 GB of RAM was something that you only heard about in servers...

Pros: Low cost, gets the job done, whitish coloration matches other Apple cables.

Cons: The adapter is a bit on the chunky side. I'm using a "Late 2011" Macbook Pro where the ports are spaced very closely together. It's a very tight fit to have the Firewire plugged in alongside a Thunderbolt peripheral, and it looks like it would be similarly tight to get an ethernet cable plugged in. It works, but it's right up against my Thunderbolt connector...

Overall Review: Excellent adapter for the majority of people, I'd imagine. Macbook Pro users, it might be worth your while to go with a thinner adapter, or pony up for the Moshi adapter.
