Good so far
Pros: Price is better than most for a 1000VA UPS.
Cons: Software for this stinks. It's almost identical to the Geek Squad's app except one MAJOR option that is missing on this one, the longest it will allow your PC to run before the auto shutdown is 5 minutes! Why not allow it to run until the battery is low? And Windows Vista and 7 are missing their UPS control options so you're stuck with CyberPower's lame app, THANKS MICROSOFT! No USB, just 9pin serial (a lot of MB's don't even have serial any more, thankfully mine did).
Overall Review: Other than the app stinks and no USB, I like it. ;)
Horrible PSU
Pros: Ok case for price, lots of room in case.
Cons: PSU (power supply) went out in under two months of use.
Overall Review: Don't buy, wouldn't recommend.
Not true 6Gb
Pros: Cost
Cons: Slows down on sustained read/write and preforms lower than my 3Gb SATA's.
Overall Review: ***DiskBench*** 200 MB; 547 ms; 365.631 MB/s 400 MB; 901 ms; 443.951 MB/s 600 MB; 2097 ms; 286.123 MB/s 800 MB; 10559 ms; 75.765 MB/s 1000 MB; 7682 ms; 130.174 MB/s ***PassMark*** Disk Mark................................710.0 (score) Sequential Read.....................100.6 MB/s Sequential Write.....................92.5 MB/s Random Seek + RW................3.2 MB/s
Good for price, but...
Pros: Price (on sale) Battery life is great Small Microphone is very clear Noise cancellation works great FM transmitter is nice when there's no interference Clip holds securely to visor
Cons: Built in speaker could be louder/clearer FM transmitter is weak (susceptible to radio interference) Talking voice sounds like 90's technology (very robot-ish) Can't select radio stations below 88.1mhz (87mhz is rarely used and would be a much better station to broadcast on since interference would be minimal)
Overall Review: I use this while on location in the oilfield and it works great for me, but there's almost no radio stations in the area so radio interference isn't a problem until I get back into town where the radio dial is jammed with stations. The default station is 88.1mhz, but can be changed manually. If there is very much static on the radio station (through your radio), you might still hear the static coming through while you're talking on the phone with the Cruiser on FM. I like everything about this except the FM transmitter is too weak, so if there's much activity on the radio, you'll hear interference through your speakers. Good price/features vs. weak FM transmitter = 4 stars
Love it
Pros: Price is awesome and so is performance. Who would have thought a year ago that you could buy a fast, name brand DVD/CD burning for under $30 bucks?
Cons: none
Overall Review: Remember, this is OEM, no cables, no screws, just the drive. =) These SATA drives aren't the pain in the neck that PATA's were since there's no slave/master jumpers to worry about. Just plug n play baby!
Fast and good price
Pros: Very reasonable price. Comes with heatsinks installed. Fast and can be overclocked
Cons: None
