Pros: Quiet. Boots faster than a standard 5400 rpm drive. I was getting 110mb/s on reads and writes. Fantastic amount of storage space. I didn't hear any noise during operation. Played well with Windows and Linux, dual boot was not a problem. Nice to see a three year warranty. No bad sectors.

Cons: Packing. I was under the impression that bubble wrap and peanuts for HDD packing were a thing of the past.

Overall Review: If you are expecting this drive to out perform a 7200 rpm drive or an SSD, look elsewhere. This is by no means a "high" performance drive. It is a nice sized, quiet, fairly fast drive that will offer a boost for an aging laptop even if using sata 2 speeds. It would be nice to see this in a 7200 rpm drive for laptops in the future.

Pros: Standard sata and power connectors. Thin. When it ran it was good.

Cons: Should have been packed better. The "cradles" that were holding the drive were fine, but, the cradles and drive were in a box that was too big, allowing the drive to move around. Some inner box packing is needed to prevent this. I don't know if the inner package was done by Newegg or Seagate. After 17 Hours of use, drive has developed 38 bad sectors, and over 1,000 read errors. I am unable to boot the drive or reformat it. Neither Window or Linux recognize the drive now. I feel that this is due to the drive being able to bounce around inside the inner box.

Overall Review: This drive is fine for a tablet or notebook, but if you have a high power laptop, I would be leery of getting this, as the read and write speeds fall off rapidly on large file transfers. Small file transfers are good (less than 1K). The inner box packing really need to be addressed, if you are going to pack a laptop drive in a desktop box, pad it, so it doesn't bounce around.

Pros: Easy set up. Basic plug and play. Very good wireless signal. Works with both Windows and Linux units. No software install needed.

Cons: NetTalk Duo is not compatible with this router, this is due to the limitations of the NetTalk device, not because of any fault with the router.

Overall Review: This is a great router for home use, I live in a single level 1600 square foot home and have good wireless signal thru the house and well into the back yard and my garage. Device is set up very near the center of the house. Using 2 wireless and 4 wired devices, with no problems.

Pros: Easy set up. Plug and play. Works very good with Linux. Synced up right away. Averages 85% to 90% (170-180 Mbps) of rated speeds (200Mbps) on different electrical circuts in house.Much faster than wireless G. Streaming movies play smoothly. Downloads are fast.

Overall Review: This has made a world of difference in my ability to stream movies from the web, or from my NAS. Before, with wireless, it was load, buffer, load some more, buffer, wait then play. Now, it's just play. If you have a lagging wireless set up I would highly recommend going to a set of these units. It added about 5ms to ping times compared to being directly connected to my modem.

Pros: Plug and play. Works well with Win XP, and Linux. Plugged it in, powered up, and was good to go.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Century Link Actiontec Q1000 modem in bridge mode, Linksys WRT54GL router, 4 desktops, 1 laptop(wireless), Nettalk Duo, Trendnet powerline adapter all play nice together.

Pros: Fast. Easy to update firmware. Plays well with Ultimate Edition 2.6.6 x64 bit using the 3.0.0-21 kernel. Have had no issues at all. Boots Ultimate Edition in under 7 seconds. Marvell Controller. Crucial has a good forum for any questions you might have.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Easy to optimize linux for SSD. Just Google "Optimize (Linux Distro name) for SSD". There are lots of guides for linux around the web. I plan on buying another in the near future. I put all my Music, Videos and Downloads on a WD 500GB Black, and run the OS on the Crucial drive. Ultimate Edition full install uses less than 8GB of space.
