Great Drives
Pros: -RAID 0 with 2 of these is insanely fast (1070 MB/s reads, and 1040 MB/s write) -Long Warranty
Cons: When in RAID 0 (as Intel masks the drives in the array from the OS as most/all RAID controllers do/should) Samsung Magician cannot enable RAPID mode to boost these speeds even higher because it cannot see that I have two of these attached.
Overall Review: My Build: -Core i5 4690K @ 4.1 Ghz -EVGA Stinger Z97 -EVGA mITX CPU Cooler -EVGA GTX 760 Superclocked w/blower style cooler -EVGA Hadron Air chasis w/500W 80+ Gold PSU -8GB Patriot Viper DDR3 2133 RAM -EVGA slim slot-loading optical drive -1TB Western Digital Blue HDD -2x Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSDs
Great if would fit my desk
Pros: - Seems to be well built - Instructions are easy to follow
Cons: - Only comes with one allen wrench when there two different sizes of allen bolts used in the product - clamp does not get wide enough to fit my desk (old w/a center drawer making it about 6 inches tall at it's narrowest point) - did not have measurements of maximum clamp width
Overall Review: - Would recommend to a friend if I knew it would fit their setup - would buy again if I get a newer desk - Returning and buying a freestanding mount for my dual monitors
Great when working
Pros: Only inexpensive KVM from a reputable brand with the outputs I needed to Work from home. Works as a USB hub USB3.0
Cons: Sometimes the monitors are not detected (started about 1.5 weeks after I started using the device) and requires the whole setup to be rebooted. After less than a month of use, this switch has required near constant reconfiguration, ultimately reducing productivity. USB Passthrough doesn't seem to work for keyboard and mouse (must use peripheral USB ports for this task.
Overall Review: When the monitors are detected (about 40% of the time), this switch works great. Would be nice if it were significantly more reliable.
Wasn't a new router
Received a router that was at the very least, open box. The box had minor damage and was taped with packing tape instet of the usual tape used to seal retail boxes. It was missing the quick-start guide. The seller provided a reasonable partial refund upon being notified of the item's condition.
