Pros: Netgear familiarity built-in range extender function price (as refurb unit)

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: I bought this to replace a very old Netgear router that died, a WNR2000 that I used as a range extender, my base router was a WNDR3400. This new R6300 is now my base router, with the WNDR3400 being the extender. Works flawlessly. The only change I had to make was that the new router needs open credentials for range extender. So I had to change from a password protected WIFI, to using MAC address filtering, no problem.

Pros: fantastic price on Newegg special. fairly quiet.

Cons: no scan direct to network location, I thought it had this feature, but the next model up does

Overall Review: I had this out of the box, connected to wireless network, and printing and scanning from PC and Android within minutes. This printer is replacing an aging Canon D480. The price was very good, satisfied so far. Many folks complaining about color output, and color matching. This is not a photo printer, is is a color document printer. It will not make good quality photos. You need a real photo printer (inkjet) for that. This, however, will make great looking text and color documents, such as letter, invoices, etc.

Pros: These drives have been great so far, I have five of them running 24/7 in two HP n54L micro-servers. I had six, but dropped one of them on the floor, didn't work after that!! These drives are nearly silent, and run smooth. I received one today, it came very snail mail, transferred from Fed-Ex to USPS, and through the -20 deg F weather here in Wisconsin. I put it by the heat register and warmed it up, it works fine. Not sure about all the claims of DOA on these drives, so far mine are working well. Runs much smoother than S**gate brand.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: I would like to be able to try these against some of the other "NAS" drives on the market, but for my budget and needs, these fit the bill. I am running these with WHS 2011 and using StableBit DrivePool and Scanner for monitoring. Great setup, not free like a *Nix platform may be, but much shorter learning curve for me.

Pros: Very nice little server OS, somewhat dated in appearance and functions, but for the price, is the best thing on the market. I am using this with an HP n54L, the combination is very nice. Also purchased StableBit DrivePool, and Scanner, which integrate into WHS 2011 dashboard for data and drive management. Runnig a real Windows OS has so much more functionality than most traditional NAS's, plus you can use it to run other Windows apps, such as a DDNS update client, among other things. You won't be sorry with this, I only hope that MS will release an updated WHS version that is cost effective, not ~$450 like Server 2012 Essentials.

Cons: N/A

Pros: The HP n54L is a sweet system, got it on Shellshocker with the OS for well under $300. It came with a 250GB system drive. I installed a couple of WD Red drives for storage, and we're up and running. This has replaced a 6 year old HP MV-2020 that woked flawlessly, but started to develop power issues. This n54L is very quiet, smooth and uses little power. I am using it with WHS 2011, along with Stablebit DrivePool, and Scanner. ( Those are abosolutly awesome apps, check them out). Also using SubSonic for media streaming, (equally awesome) and Tonido for file sharing and remote access.This combination is a little more expensive than the "free" options, such as Linux, FreeNAS, etc., but for a Windows user like me, this is a dream come true for network storage, and media streaming. You get so much more than with a traditional NAS, and full Windows OS, so you can run other services, if desired. The build quality is very good, very "Pro-sumer", but as others have mentioned, there is a lot tucked in a little space, so getting the motherboard out, etc, takes some care. I installed a CD drive to load the OS, you will need a power adapter for this. This box still has the old 4 pin power connections, so you will need an adapter for a SATA drive.

Cons: N/A

Pros: I got this RAM to supplement the existing 2GB in my new HP n54L. This went right in and the OS (WHS2011) booted right up without even asking to confirm the new RAM. I checked the system config and it's there, so now I have 4GB RAM, plenty for what I do.

Cons: N/A
