Pros: I really like this 'mouse'. That said, it's half pointer, half mouse. It takes some getting used to, but once it is mastered, I'll never go back to using a mouse on my leg while watching videos.

Cons: Has a slight interruption unless line of sight is clear. Needs tweaking, but no biggy. This is not for gaming or for a regular computer.

Overall Review: All my friends ohh and ahh when they see this. Even the g/f liked it and was able to use it instantly.

Pros: Blue lights. Perhaps I can use them in something else.

Cons: Power up and one of four fans start. Three others need prompting and one won't spin very fast for some reason. Total air movement is on the level of an easy breath. Not much in the way of CFM here. The clips are very large. One of the large clips got in the way and made that one difficult to use properly. I had room for the others, but not much.

Overall Review: I took one apart and used the bracket to zip tie a slow-turning 120MM fan to the RAM banks. This works much better than the teeny-tiny little fans on these ill-developed items. I still have two more of these puppies that I am not sure I'll use. What a shame. Is it worth sending them back? Perhaps on principle, it is. Not recommended.

Pros: Cool. Quiet. Moderately quick, but there are better drives for that intent. Makes a mean daiquiri. Okay, I lied about that. It makes a lousy daiquiri.

Cons: Only 1.86GB when carved out. The 3TB version just came out. grrr... ;~) I yammer on below.

Overall Review: All drives have the potential of dying. I think Seagate's tend to die less than others, but WD builds some good ones too. it's more about which model is best, not brand so much. My application is a 13-disk RAID6 set set via 3ware 9650 replacing an 8-disk 1TB Seagate RAID5. 1 disk loss in 3+ years is not bad. Of the 13 drives I acquired, one was collecting sector relocations like stamps, and another was flaky in array testing, so they both go back. The flaky one likely would have been fine in a normal config, but 2 of 13 is an acceptable number for me. 1 is about right, but 2 is not awful...unless those are the two that *you* order. We all know it happens and for this reason, you have to test like crazy in the first 30 days to force the failures. Watch SMART data closely. If it doesn't fail or have tons of sector problems in the first 30 days while you hammer it, it will be good for years. This is true of all drives. I am using WD RE4 drives for my OS, so it's all good.

Pros: Nice drive layout. 5 in 3 is what I want and I like the 80mm fans (I hope they are replaceable, but after three years I haven't had to yet). I like being able to pull a drive from the front easily. Mix of SATA and Molex power adds flexibility. You do not have to have all of them plugged in 1 to 1. Each power plug adds to the bus, so to speak. You can unscrew and repair the cheap plastic bits within the lever.

Cons: The power and SATA ports are very close to the protruding fan box, so it makes pass-through cables a much tighter connection to make. This mostly has to do with SATA power cables that you'll have to fold the wires back to make the connection, but if you have right angle SATA data cables, they will have a problem too. Mix of SATA and Molex power is confusing (minor nit). LED layout is somewhat skewed. A light right over the drive is what I want. They use cheap plastic bits in the lever system. One was broken right out of the box. Superglue to the rescue. Sometimes a light won't illuminate correctly. I have one stuck in green, with a drive present and activity occurring. Hardly worth sending back for an RMA, but quite annoying nonetheless. They don't give enough cage screws in the pack.

Overall Review: I just bought three more of these for a new fileserver. I have two in an older fileserver and one more in my main system for six total. I like having uniformity with the sleds and parts. They function reasonably well, but for the price, I should not have any problems. Make sure you use the screws that came with it. Especially the cage screws which are far shorter than standard screws. Standard screws will catch on the drives and sleds within. Also, don't forget to power each slot with the tiny button under the slot location. I found this an odd thing, but oh well.

Pros: Small. High capacity.

Cons: Pre-partitioned for your inconvenience into two partitions. A large one for you and another smaller one for the device. You cannot have or manage the latter much. In addition, the smaller partition will auto-load virtual CD software that should annoy most cognizant computer people. Installing devices on every system you attach to (U3 anyone? This means you Sandisk.) Lastly and certainly least, the polished surface will be completely smudged in fingerprints in about 8 seconds of handling.

Overall Review: I probably have nearly a dozen portable drives and I usually buy a drive and an enclosure separately. I was lured by the neatness of it all here, but this has been the worst experience by far. I should have paid better attention to the reviews. I wanted to like the large storage size, but it is impossible to overcome this terrible virtual CD software. Truth be told, after messing with it for and hour or so, I gave up the fight. I should not have to work that hard for this. A "fix" from WD is to hide the smaller partition, but that's not good enough for me. I am trying the 1TB Seagate now. No software and a fresh partition. So far, so good.

Pros: Seemingly endless weapon configs. Four weapon use slots. Player attribute points are re-doable for a nominal cost. Large free roaming maps. Driving the buggy freely around is fun, but be careful. Enemies respawn, so areas are re-playable for as long as you like. Micro-goals lead to surprise bumps in xp which is a nice feature. Single player characters can be used in co-op mode. Good auto-save method.

Cons: Endless weapon configs can get tedious sorting through. Only one grenade-type use slot. Small backpack leads to overly frequent shop visits to dump gear. Weak back story. Repetitive bad guys, but this isn't unexpected. A bug or two here and there, one lockup during a bossfight. Only four in lan play. Timed enemy respawn turned a panic retreat into a new scrum and a reverse retreat the first time I discovered this. It teaches you not to lollygag. It has some console feel too, but is very tolerable. Travel can be tedious over long distances even with the fast travel function.

Overall Review: It's first-person play perspective in a Titan Quest or Diablo RPG play style of quests/missions and loot collection in a Fallout/Mad Max world. The graphics are in a cell-shaded comic book stylized motif and if you can accept that, you'll like it. I'm not a big fan of the style but it works and looks great to me. It is a graphics hog and even with quad-gpu's I had to dial it down (1980x1200). It is much like Fallout 3, yet I am enjoying Borderlands far more. I cheated to get through Fallout, but I am already replaying parts of BL unaided. Ultimately, I find this game very fun and somewhat addictive. Looking forward to added content already.
