Pros: Inexpensive aluminum eSATA enclosure.

Cons: You have to hit the power button to turn the enclosure on - this could be a problem if you're going to use this enclosure with an always-on server that you want to automatically restart after a power failure. Even though the enclosure is all-aluminum, your drive can still get hot if you're using it a lot. Not so hot that you're out of the drive's operating range, just up near the top.

Overall Review: You can fix the "need to hit the power button" problem by either forcing the power button down (remove the power-button board and scotch tape it down, then replace), or solder-tacking the red and black wires together either on the button board or under the connector on the main board (that's what I did). This may disable the automatic powerdown feature, depending if you use eSATA or USB. Your drive runs quite a bit cooler if you blow air over the enclosure.

Pros: I bought it from Newegg, whose customer service is second-to-none, and the RMA was pleasant, easy, and fast.

Cons: This memory should work in my laptop (an HP TC4400), but does not work. Some of the memory causes blue-screens and random faults in programs. Some appears to work but causes the Prime95 stress test to fail. This memory has been available for several years, it previously used GSkill-labeled chips; now it uses Hynix. I bought this *exact* memory several years ago for this *exact* model laptop, and it works fine. I recently bought two more laptops of the *exact* same model (same subtype, same CPU, same *everything*). So I ordered two sets of this memory to bring them up to 4GB - this new memory does not work fine. Let's recap: I now have three TC4400 laptops, one set of F2-5300CL4D-4GBSQ I ordered several years ago, and two sets of F2-5300CL4D-4GBSQ that I just ordered. I then tested that the memory I ordered several years ago works in all three laptops flawlessly. I then tested the new memory and found that it fails in all three laptops consistently.

Overall Review: I tested each SO-DIMM independently. Each of the 4 SO-DIMMs create problems in all three laptops. One of the SO-DIMMs causes flagrant instability. The rest allow the system to limp along, but eventually cause program faults and blue screens. One of them appears to work pretty well, but the Prime95's stress test fails within a minute. I also just bought a new F2-5300CL4S-1GBSA destined for a different laptop, and it works just fine in these TC4400 laptops. This is pretty much rock-solid proof that these TC4400 laptops are capable of handling CL4 PC2 5300 memory, and for some reason the newer F2-5300CL4D-4GBSQ memory is substandard compared to what it used to be. I'm aiming this comment at GSKill customer service that chided a recent customer that "this memory doesn't work in all laptops - try the CL5". GSkill: This memory is not up to spec. These laptops offer no way to tune the memory or timings - this isn't an overclocking or hacking issue.

Pros: Works fine with Windows 2003.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I installed this into a Force Computer 1U server that only supports 3.3V PCI-X. After installing, I let Windows Update provide the driver - it installed a later version (1.3.21.0) than was on the Silicon Image website (latest there is 1.3.20.0). The SI website has a later BIOS than provided on the card (6.4.09 on the website vs 6.3.18 on the card). The card worked fine with the stock bios, but I upgraded using the IDE BIOS from the 6.4.09 anyway, and it too works fine. I'm now using 4 eSATA disks no problem.
