Succeeded where others failed

Pros: I like the way it is set up like a business class switch. It isn't managed, but it has all of the ports and status info on the front, with only the power cable going out the back. I like this more than the typical leds on the front, everything else on the back switches. This switch worked in my odd network configuration. I had previously purchased a cheaper rosewill 4 port switch that did not preform well enough in my network and had to be removed
Cons: Size? it isn't really a complaint. This thing uses up all of space it has. I'd imagine having 8 cat 6a would start to out muscle gravity and the weight of the device, but this is typical of any switch, and this one has a great fix... it is mountable!
Overall Review: Switches are normally plug and play, there isn't really much to them, or so i thought. I live in a studio and my only option for internet is wireless from around 100 feet away at the "main house". We purchased 19Mb/s internet, an Amped router. I use a pcie wireless N card on my server with two high gain antennas. The server then Bridges that wireless connection with its built in gigabit ethernet. The ethernet then goes into THIS SWITCH at the other end of the studio, which then feeds my gaming computer, as well as any guests, gaming consoles, etc. With the previous rosewill switch my speeds would go from 19Mb/s to around 4Mb/s That rosewill switch was not properly handling my connection for some reason. This TP Link switch suffers ZERO degradation of speeds!!!! Fantastic! While this is an expert review, all of my network products will be TP link in the future. The build quality and performance of this enterprise class company are hard to match, and they are still reasonably priced. If your going to get a cheap 4 port, spend a little extra on this, i know i wish i had. We use tp link switches at my place of employment and have never once had a hiccup with them. Anybody need a less than stellar 4 port rosewill switch??? :)
For it's advertised purpose

Pros: The perfect drive for most laptops. Ultra Small Form Factor Combines SSD and HDD for a single drive solution It does have improved boot times over a standard platter. This is most noticeable using windows 8. What else is this drive capable of other than replacing a laptop's platter, which is by no means hard to beat? Could this be used as the OS/Data drive of a gaming computer, with the games and heavy applications on an SSD? I know for many of us that currently use SSDs as boot drives it would be a blessing. Trimming the fat off of SSDs, making sure default download and install folders are pointing away, etc, is a pain. It would be nice to install the OS on the hybrid, leave the default locations alone, and only force games and applications to install on the SSD.
Cons: Using default ATTO benchmark settings. (drive speed test) This drive peaked at around 112MB/s my 3.5 WD Blue peaked at around 118MB/s my Mushkin Chronos peaked at 360MB/s This drive did not boot windows 7 as quickly as my, now somewhat behind, SSD. I do not believe giving it more time to learn would improve performance that admirably, as i have been using it for about a week. With the advertised boot performance in Windows 8, and the improvements to boot times in general with Windows 8, i question the viability of this drive outside of a single drive laptop, HTPC, or other mini computer solutions, running windows 8. Unfortunately this drive will not be utilized in my current desktop. I get significantly better performance using my SSD as the OS and application drive, with a large platter keeping data and default install/download locations. Could i keep using this hybrid drive as my data drive instead? Sure, but whats the point? at $100 you could get a much larger platter that transfers data better, as this hybrid drive did not see any improvement in general data transfers.
Overall Review: While i agree strongly with the advertised purpose of this drive, it does not fit the needs of an advanced user. Can it start up your windows 8 laptop in a hurry and still leave a nice amount of storage space? Absolutely, if this is your purpose, buy it. Keep in mind that windows 7 will boot a lot slower than the numbers advertised. Should it be used as the boot drive of a gaming rig to maintain default download locations, with an SSD on the side? Unfortunately i do not think so. I am curious as to how much of an SSD this actually is. If i were to learn that it has 60GB of NAND space, i would be surprised and inclined to run my tests again, but i do not believe this is the case. My SSD used to clock in at 505MB/s... Might have to go check up on that SSD's long term reviews....
Cheap

Pros: Could be used as a signature device. Might be fun for children. I felt like it was about as accurate as i expected. It didn't seem to cause any harm to the screen given its soft brush tip.
Cons: The soft brush tip is probably the limiting factor in its accuracy. The manual was a very poor translation. The product came very cheaply packaged given its retail price. The box's descriptions were very... lackluster and poorly worded. If i saw this on the shelf i would not buy it, period. The device itself is marketed as light, this is true... but it feels... cheap. Windows 8 is designed for multiple point touch. You can not zoom, rotate, or make complex selections. It is difficult to use the various swipes, scrolls, and drags. This isn't recognized as an actual pen device in windows, it uses its own calibration software that you will need to instal on each computer.
Overall Review: I will probably be giving this to a neighbor of mine so he can use it for clients' signatures, for which it does work. Maybe it could be calibrated to work on say a clipboard instead of the actual laptop screen. My biggest problem is the price tag on this thing. It just isn't up to par, it should be aluminum at this price range.

Pros: Very low price per GB 189 isn't that bad considering it is 3726 GB formatted, with tax a little more than a nickle per GB. Solid performance. For some reason i was expecting the larger disc to be a bit slower, but tested faster than the 1TB Hitachi in my server, as well as the 500 GB WD Blue in my main pc. Clocking in at 130 MB/Sec using ATTO. Quiet Mine doesn't make any real noise at all. Size I mean it is the same size as any other 3.5", but c'mon, that's a lot of storage, pretty amazing.
Cons: None really. Too much storage? Naw.. I will be using this as a backup of the laptop, the main rig, and the current file server... with room to spare. Boring? Storage is kind of boring, this is actually about as exciting as it gets outside of SSDs. Maybe Seagate could put some color on the sticker next time? 4000GB could have been like embossed on the rear of the drive, that would cool.
Overall Review: Compatibility I had no problems with getting the drive going, just installed it into the backplane of my: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112368 Then using Computer Management in http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832416443 I found that it was recognized by my motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121358 and proceeded to format it for testing. The disc size was correct, no drivers needed.

Pros: Very comfortable. Feels sturdy. Looks quality.
Cons: Only the sound is wireless. Mic needs to be plugged in to an xbox controller, which makes use on the PC moot.
Overall Review: I returned it, i got it for 35 dollars, but because it doesn't utilize a wireless mic it did not suite my needs. Please note, Newegg may very well not accept a return on this product given their policy.

Pros: Works
Cons: Isn't sata rev 3
Overall Review: it is in fact as pictured.
