Works fine in ThinkPad X200s
Pros: I'm not sure whether this "NASware" thing is marketing fluff or the real deal. But in any case, this drive made a fine upgrade for the hard disk in my ThinkPad X200s. It's quiet, runs cool, and best of all, has five times the capacity of the original disk that came with this machine. I have not run any speed tests, but it seemed snappy enough doing a build of a huge software package (this is on Linux).
Cons: Does not come with a free pony, let alone rainbows or unicorns or a winning lottery number. In fact, no product I've ordered from Newegg came with any of these freebies. But one can only hope.
Works great in ThinkPad X200s
Pros: I used these DIMMs to upgrade my trusty ThinkPad X200s from 4GB to 8GB. Although the X200s supports an official maximum of 4GB, it can actually take 8GB with no problems. The machine has worked perfectly since the upgrade, and I've used it pretty heavily (on Linux), doing massive compilations, running some virtual machines (for those rare cases where I have to use WinXP), and so forth.
Cons: Shipping was tad slow. If Newegg used USPS directly instead of first going to DHL, who then hands off to USPS for the last leg, a day could probably be shaved off the shipping time. Still, it's not really a problem -- I was just being overly impatient.
Overall Review: Wow, these DIMMs go out of stock quickly. I was all set to buy a similar kit but it went out of stock less than a week after I put it on my wish list. Fortunately the Mushkin kit was available for about the same price.
Works great in ThinkPad R61
Pros: * It's RAM -- it just works, as it should. * Fast shipping by Newegg.
Cons: Doesn't come with free unicorns and/or rainbows.
Overall Review: Running 64-bit Linux, Firefox, and a 32-bit Linux in VMware Workstation was just too much for 2 GB of RAM in the R61. After it started swapping like crazy and becoming slower than molasses in January, it was obvious that more RAM was the answer. I was little concerned that the newer, faster RAM might not work in this older machine that originally had DDR2-667, but my worries were unfounded. This is a great way to update an older machine and make it snappy again.
Works fine in Treo 700p and Linux
Pros: I bought this card to convert my Treo 700p (with the the updated firmware that supports SDHC) into a diskless music player. I've put 13GB of Ogg Vorbis files on the card, and while it's going to take a while to listen to every file, so far pTunes has had no problems with anything I've told it to play. The card also works fine in Linux using the low-cost "Super Talent All-in-1" USB card reader that I also bought here on Newegg.
Cons: The first card Newegg sent me was DOA, but the RMA process was painless and I received the replacement very quickly. Newegg's customer service is the best!
