Most Favorable Review

Great way to add FireWire

SIIG FireWire 1394a 2-Port PCIe Card, Model NN-E20012-S2

Pros: Simple install - very solid

Cons: none

Overall Review: I wish motherboards came with IEEE 1394 standard. A lot of us are still using it.

Most Critical Review

Tech Support is Awful

HighPoint RocketRAID 640L PCI-Express 2.0 x4 Low Profile SATA RAID Controller Card
HighPoint RocketRAID 640L PCI-Express 2.0 x4 Low Profile SATA RAID Controller Card

Pros: Priced well. Offers various RAID configs.

Cons: Tech support is awful - even insulting. Response times for basic questions is very slow up to 30Hrs. It took me a week and help from other sources to realize that their product marketing was very misleading - and that I had purchased the wrong product.

Overall Review: External RAID enclosures are a much more simple solution.

Pros: A Video capture device + TV tuner. Nice combo

Cons: A real bear to set up. Unpleasant experience with technical support.

Overall Review: Once I got it set up it was fairly decent.

Very good

Cons: not much downward angle (if they're very high)

Overall Review: Very good for the price
