Pros: I bought two of these to replace the Netgear FVS338's that we've had in our branch offices for the last few years. The reason was to get Dual WAN Ports and to see if replacing the Netgears would resolve some issues we had with the WAN Connection Dropping. So far so good! These Firewalls have so much functionality I don't even know where to start. Going from the Netgears to these is a steep learning curve. So for Pro's lets go with Great Performance, relatively easy to set up for basic functionality, lots and lots of options like Anti Virus, Content Filtering, Intrusion Detection and Anti-Spam which just do you know are all features that you get a free trial of but need to pay a yearly fee for. If you decide to use them figure between $70 and $100 per service per year or about $220 per year for the package. The manual is useless for advanced configuration & the website is even more useless. Tech Support was very responsive on the phone but never responded to my e-mail.

Cons: First and foremost is the documentation, you think that a 160 Page PDF File would give a lot of information but it really doesn't and the US website is even worse. It seems like other versions of the website might be better but not all in English. Basic Setup is really easy with a wizard but even getting a VPN up and running through a NAT Router was beyond the documentation and required a call to Tech Support. There are so many options that it can be a little overwhelming and difficult at times to find things but you do get used to it. You can only set up one SNMP Entry which is terrible these days. You "Can" it up so that you get various log files e-mailed to you but you can't change the port of the outgoing e-mail which makes that feature completely useless in most cases since ALL ISP's block port 25 these days. The base price of the unit is awesome but to take advantage of all of the features you are looking at about $220 a year which for one isn't so bad I guess.

Overall Review: Look for what this unit costs and what it does I am VERY Impressed with it. If you want something that is going to perform well at higher FIOS like speeds then this is something to consider. Just keep in mind that taking advantage of advanced features will involve some digging around for guidance. All in all i find these very worthy replacements for our Netgear Firewalls with exceptional performance. As long as you can figure out the methods you will more than likely end up very happy with these units.

Pros: Easy to install Fast Read every disc I put in it. Great Support from LG

Cons: Died after a few months of moderate use, doesn't seem to read at consistent speeds.

Overall Review: Even though this Drive died after a few months I was very impressed with LG's support, I opened up a case online, they e-mailed me a UPS Label and in about a week I got a replacement.

Pros: I've been a fan of Synology NAS units for quite some time. We upgraded to this for the expansion and the ability to put a 10G Card in it. This unit is quick and easy to set up, it is fast and performs very well. We migrated an existing volume / drives from an older Synology NAS. Fast Easy to setup Expansion Card Slot (we used for 10G) - Very easy to access. Simple safe migration of RAID / Volume from other Synology Upgradeable Memory Quiet

Cons: Cost -This is a very costly unit but very functional for the price. Adding additional memory to this unit is nerve racking! Be sure to follow the Synology Instructions very carefully as you have to basically remove the motherboard to gain access to the memory slots so upgrade to as much as possible so you don't have to do it again. Does not currently Support SMB3 Multi-Channel but hopefully will later this year.

Overall Review: I would recommend this as well as many other Synology Products. They make a Rock Solid NAS that has lot of functionality and add on software modules to expand its capabilities.

Pros: Price, Ease of Installation, Performance, Many Configuration Videos are available. LEDs on the back of the unit show status at a glance and also can be used for alignment.

Cons: Does NOT use Standard POE Connection without additional adapter. Only Pole Mount is included. Only 100Mb connection but says the wireless link is up to 300mbps between them.

Overall Review: I bought a Pair of These to bridge my network between two buildings. To say that I am very impressed with them is an understatement! These units are relatively small, light weight and have an impressive software installed in them. Setting them up was a snap using their Alignment Option that uses a Beep that gets higher pitched as you are getting the best location signal. Beware that these are POE but only with the included 24V Adapter, does not work with Standard POE Switches without an additional adapter which was a bit of an issue for us. They are designed to be mounted on a pole, the mount can not be removed but additional mounts can be purchased. I ended up getting the Window / Wall Mounts which worked but not quite as expected. Since the day they have been installed they have been working perfectly transferring security camera video without a single hiccup. I highly recommend these.

Pros: I've been a fan of Seagate Drives for a long time, I've started out with their 320GB Drives and over the years went to the 750's then 1.5TB and the 3TB before going to the 4TB for my latest NAS. These drives are relatively inexpensive (when on sale) and are very fast.

Cons: I am not sure about their reliability, I bought 3 drives to start and one of them just failed after only about 9 Month (about 6400 Hours). What makes me a little more concerned is that when I tried to RMA The drive I got an e-mail saying there was going to be a delay as they don't have any in stock. Um What? So be mindful of this since a lot of people are saying that these drives don't seem to last long. I am using a RAID 6 so hopefully I will never have 3 drives fail before I can get at least one of them replaced. I am also very disappointed that Seagate lowered the warranty time from 5 years which was their standard for so many years to the 3 years it is now.

Overall Review: What else can you say, maybe I should have went with the WD Red Drives? Once I switch to the 8TB Drives I think that will be the direction I go as it seems like something has happened to the Seagate QC.

Pros: Reliable Relatively easy to set up Very Stable Multiple WLANs VLAN Support Load Balancing

Cons: A little expensive Does not support newest Wireless AC Standard Need to buy Separate Rack Mount Kit External Power Supply POE Not supported on Unit itself, need additional POE Switch for Access Points.

Overall Review: Got this for an Apartment Building that needed reliable wireless. Got it up and running in a few hours with 3 different Wireless Networks all with different VLANs, No problems whatsoever. If you are looking for a very stable / reliable wireless solution then look no further.
