great board!
Pros: Easy to install, connecters are well positioned, well written manual to go along with it. The GUI bios screen is interesting, but nice for a novice, you can also go to an advanced screen, where everything is laid out in a more traditional manner
Cons: Only has one USB 3.0 header, would have been nice to have two.
Unless you're in an urban area, don't waste your money
Pros: Easily assembled, easily set up
Cons: 100 mi my eye.....our tv stations are 45 mi as the crow flies, all on the same mountain, & antenna wont pick up half of em....My old, broken antenna does much better. rotator works, but randomly....when you push a button (doesn't matter which one), it may turn one way, may turn the other. Also, since it has no directional indicator, it either takes two people, or a whole lot of guessing to get it pointed the right way.
Overall Review: I'd send it back, but return shipping would be almost as much as what the thing cost, so I guess I'll chalk this one up as 'lesson learned'
Absolute garbage, do not buy!
Pros: NOTHING!
Cons: Bought 2 of these, both of them absolutely refused to connect, spent hours with them to no avail! I know, you're thinking "This guy is just too stupid to hook them up"....I have been building and repairing computers for 30+ years, IT admintrator for a public library for 10 years. These things are a waste of time & money.
Overall Review: I would not reccomend these to anybody, for anything. They're too light to even be used as fishing weights. The manufacturer KNOWs these are garbage, contacted them about return, got back "ineligible for return"
It works
Pros: What can I say, it just works & works well
Cons: Doesn't make the morning coffee for me, mow the lawn, etc, but it does make a good USB 3 hub
So far, so good.
Pros: inexpensive, seem to be decent quality
Cons: one of the two drives I purchased had a couple of bad sectors, which in & of itself is not too unusual, but will bear watching -1 egg for the bad sectors.
Overall Review: Seem to be decent drives, & have them installed in a Synology DS216j NAS, only had them about a month, but seem to be working very well
Shoulda made this jump much earlier
Pros: Easy install (15 min), super quiet, & it WORKS!!! FX-8350 Vishara running in an ASUS M5A97 R2 mb, 8 GB Wintek DDR3, using stock cooler temps were 41~45C° at idle, was going into heat shutdown when doing heavy video encoding...with H60 cooler, idle temp is 23~24C°, encoding video with all 8 cores running 100% with a mild OC, max temp is now 54C° after an hours steady encoding. I couldn't be more pleased with this item
Cons: Doesn't come with automatic 100 dollar bill dispenser...lol At this point I don't see a downside to this item. I wish I were so fortunate in all my purchases...
Overall Review: The day after I bought this, the price went up 20 bucks ( landed on the right side of that one for once...lol), but even then, I feel it is worth every penny.....I am RARELY this impressed with any product, 5 gold eggs for sure!
Fast!
Surprised at how fast it is compared to others I have
