ORICO Transparent USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 2.5 inch
Pros: It's transparent, no need to label the HDD/SSD. The usb works as expected. small slim and easy to store together. No real need for tools with it's snap together design.
Cons: the sata connection is stiffer than the connection on the HHD/SSD so there is a little bit of flexing while installing or un-installing the HHD/SSD. to avoid thatyou must loosen the connection board. Also there was just a little bit of plastic hang on the sliding rails on one of the 6 that I purchased, I used clippers to remove the hang and it slides closed just fine
Overall Review: I really appreciate these enclosures. I think they are great and for the price makes them that much better.
Samsung 890 Series C34H
Pros: Beautiful screen, right idea
Cons: the factory stand is dodgy at best, very weak and flimsy. when using a mouse or typing the screen wobbles due to the stand. I have had mine for 6 months and it has now died. no warning just half a black screen then out. I have changed the video cables and cycled the power, it come on for 2 seconds and then goes out again.
Overall Review: I don't know if I can recommend this monitor. The screen is awesome, but all the complications around it and the fact I can not use it now.... well.....
Excelent NAS
Pros: Great file server, reliable file system. decent updates simple to access and to secure. Easy drive installation and good online support and drive calculator online. Worth the money.
Cons: I have no complaints
Overall Review: Easy Reliable Secure. Excellent product
Car manufactures should have this as a standard feature
Pros: Pretty simple and straight forward design. Installation needs vary from car to car but they give you plenty of cable to run to the control unit. good picture and great audio pick up (watch what you say around the thing) Files are broken up into 4 minute sections for easy location of needed video.
Cons: If you are not careful on putting in the memory card, it can slide past the the card tray and wedge into the internals of the camera. That part could be better designed for ease of use. GPS is an option accessory, probably should be standard.
Overall Review: Good unit, specially with the GPS unit. You do not need a big Memory card, 128GB high endurance will be enough.
Decent SSD Sata drive
Pros: Stand alone it is pretty fast, not having heat issues that would cause it to lag. So far good replacement drive for laptops.
Cons: Didn't perform so well in a RAID environment in speed tests, but also didn't burn out either. I purchased 4 of them and tested them in RAID 0,5,10
Overall Review: Great drive for the the price point and has decent speeds. No complaints
Spare Drives for my server
Pros: It works
Cons: Nothing with the product when its in a raid array
Overall Review: So nothing about the product per se, however the shipment box was marinated with Fabreeze and triggered a migraine. I had to air out the box outside for a few days before I could get the HDDs out. Friends don't let friends use Fabreeze. =(
Second unit I purchased to upgrade an older laptop
Never even saw the setup/install from windows,it just assumed all the logon and passwords from the out dated unit.
Unfair business practices.
Took three weeks to receive (not 5 days), had to go with an alternate vendor. Sent the package back to the seller unopened. Cost $5 to send back to them, took 5 days to get back to them (not 3 weeks). The have NOT issued a refund for the purchase. Do not buy from this seller, Buyer Beware.
Anidees Cube
I have two of these cases, might consider buying an additional one. Not good for more than three hard drives though...
