Pros: Easy to install, looks very slick, has manual fan over ride button, has degree c/f button, has volt/watt button. Shows you the workload being put out to the system, cable to connect front panel long enough to reach in a larger case

Cons: cost is a bit steep, but so far it seems worth it

Most Critical Review

Not as Advertised

iolo DriveScrubber
iolo DriveScrubber

Pros: When it works, it wipes

Cons: If there is a bad spot on the drive, it stops and tells you the wipe is complete, even thhough it never finished wiping the rest of the drive! Also, it only works based on the partitions on the drive. SCRUBS THE PARTITION, not the entire drive! If you have hidden partitions or partitions that do not have a drive letter assigned, then those areas of the drive are not wiped!!! To wipe the entire drive, you need to delete all the partitions, create one large one and assign it a drive letter, then wipe it.

Overall Review: I have submitted these bugs to them long ago, but they still have not corrected them (at least on all the versions I have). Want to see? Start wiping a thumb drive, then remove it while wiping (not recommended normally, but for the expermient) Says wipe is complete! Same thing with portable drives that have bad spots or accidently get powered down during wipes. You think it finished, but it did not. I hope this new version corrected these issues.

Great Picture

Pros: Great quality picture and resolution for the money. Many forms of input including two VGA ports (so two computers can be physically hooked to it at once) as well as VGA passthrough, USB, component in, audio. Many custom options in the menu for adjustments.

Cons: Runs hot, but to be expected

Overall Review: Being an lesser known brand, I was going to pass on this, but after I started using it, I really like it.

Great Product

Rosewill RX251-ITRAY 2.5" IDE USB 2.0 IDE HDD Tray Only

Pros: Have been using this without any problems. I can see where some can find it misleading. The specs do tell you the correct info if you read them. Very small foot print.

Cons: No cooling fan, but wouldn't expect one on a small tray enclosure like this.

Overall Review: IDE connection on the inside to mount an IDE drive. On the back there is a SATA connection to mount the drive inside a computer and attach it to a SATA cable (not included) and USB port to use as an external drive.
