Pros: A great video card at a reasonable price. This was an upgrade over my old nVidia 750TI, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that no external power connector was needed; gets all it's power from the x16 PCIe slot. Newer technology nVidia cards are so expensive, and I'm not a gamer (much) so this card represented a good compromise. I now have HDR enabled on the 55" LG smart TV I use as a monitor. With the 750TI previously, the option was available but would fail, not so with the 1050TI

Cons: Not 'cutting edge'. If you're a serious gamer, you might want to shell out some $$$$$ for newer technology. However, if you're on a budget, this card will still handle most anything out there, albeit at possible a lower frame rate.

Overall Review: For the money, a great card!

Pros: A totally adequate board for most people, and a sweet price to boot. I was surprised how nice of a board it is. However, be aware it only has 4 SATA ports, not a problem for today's PC environment. Oh, and PCIe 4.0 to boot, with two M.2 slots.

Cons: Only 4 SATA ports

Overall Review: Absolutely!

Pros: Device serves a purpose for me; I have 3 large-capacity (for PATA) drives I wanted to be able to use for backups. Having one PATA slot and one SATA slot makes it ideal for the purpose. Includes power supply and USB 3.0 cable, which is heavy-gauge. I had an old USB 2.0 gadget for the same purpose, but wanted something that would fully utilize the speed of the PATA drives.

Cons: Minor, but worth noting: the software package (downloaded via a link shown on the box) is very rudimentary but it is adequate. Instructions are marginal, but I found better instructions online. I use my own preferred backup software anyhow. The application is great for setting it up and establishing parameters, including the one-touch button backup feature. Also, be careful lining up those 40-pin connectors on PATA drives to the female connection in the tray; you're essentially doing it blind because you can't see whether the pins are lined up correctly or not. You most likely don't want to bend a/o break one of those pins!

Overall Review: I found other companies selling both the same and nearly-identical docking stations (one with eSATA and USB ports in front for example) and/or a different device, such as Tripp-Lite, that used the same software package, called AI-OTB (one touch backup). Tripp-Lite had much superior instructions than what came with this unit. Here's a link to those instructions: https://www.tripplite.com/support/owners-manual/753813

Pros: Hits the perfect balance between cost and speed; I have a faster USB 3.0 flash drive, but it was pricey. And I have slower ones that were cheaper. But with the read speed of this flash drive approaching generic conventional hard drive speeds, and the great price, it's a great value.

Cons: None so far. I'm happy with the drive!

Overall Review: Probably the best cost/benefit ratio out there. I can't tell it's a refurb; I suspect someone bought it thinking they could plug it into a USB 2.0 port and somehow it would magically give them USB 3.0 speeds. When it didn't, it got returned.....

Pros: Price! Ease of setup. Aesthetics. Noise footprint (none, essentially). Network performance relative to price. Convenient buttons and ports, well thought out. Drives are easily accessible. Web interface works well, and remote access is a snap, after setting it up (also easy).

Cons: Software package could use a few improvements, like, a bar graph or readout depicting estimated percent completed a/o time left while running a backup of the NAS. I have one running right now; about 60GB of data to copy, it's been running for about an hour to an external 2.5" drive via USB 2.0 port. No idea when it's going to be done. A temp sensor would be great too.

Overall Review: After reading some users' complaints about heat issues, I was a bit leery about the purchase. But, after a promo code, the price was just too good to pass on. I'm happy so far. You'll also find, if you go hunting, some reviews that show the unit's file transfer performance isn't stellar. May be true, but since I'm upgrading from an old 10/100 NAS, it sure seems fast to me! The one in-depth review I read concluded the unit's file transfer speeds (especially via USB ports) is probably limited by the slightly anemic dual-core ARM processor. None of these things are of particular importance to me. In fact, since I'm running 2 non-identical drives in a JBOD setup, the performance numbers compared to other NAS solutions are decent. If you are looking for a blazing-fast NAS running RAID-0, this one's probably not for you. But if you are looking for totally acceptable speeds at a reasonable price (under $90 with promo code, in my case), you should be happy. BTW, the heat issues some users mentioned haven't happened in my case. I did run the most-recent firmware immediately, available off Shuttle's website.
