Good Product
Pros: Great adapter, haven't had any problems others have described.
Cons: Several pieces to become misplaced.
Adequate, expensive, quirky
Pros: Easy to use, adequate performance. I bought this year because if import capability, but imports were not seamless. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward and generally what's expected.
Cons: Much more expensive, not as easy to use as last year, imports are incomplete so check them carefully! Check "support" to make the Registration screen go away.
Overall Review: Will try TaxAct if I get too frustrated with this. NewEgg rocks!
It works
Pros: It works and has been reliable
Cons: Sliding mechanism is a little too fat to fit in some USB slots, and it is not spring loaded.
Overall Review: I also have and prefer the Sony retractable flash drive for the above reasons. Newegg Rocks!
A Good One
Pros: This board is well built and provides all the connectivity I could want and then some; only items I added were a graphics card and faxmodem. RAID setup was a seamless conversion from an ICH9 on a GA-X38-DS4 that burned up after two years. Gigabyte technical support seems to have improved over the last couple years; email response within a day and knowledgeable of their products. A very nice board and reasonable price.
Cons: Tech support obviously from Taiwan and details get lost in translation, tech support is reasonably good and helpful.
Overall Review: Check a new board on the bench without peripherals; most problems seem to be no-boot or memory related (run MS Memory Diagnostics). Newegg had it delivered in two days; paying for rush processing was worthwhile (though others process overnight for competitive advantage).
Handy product
Pros: Very handy device, I've never had the conenction problems some others refer to. It has worked fine on all but some very old IDE hard drives.
Cons: Multiple pieces can get separated & lost easily; some very old IDE drives didn't work with this device.
Overall Review: Newegg rocks!
Wwll Built
Pros: Well built case; was able to move exterior connections to higher slot and cable lengths are adequate.
Cons: expensive.
Overall Review: Would buy this again
