Pros: It has really cool ports on the side, looks cool, has plenty of connectors for the side ports, and looks really well made.

Cons: This thing failed within weeks, now I have to RMA and ship it back, which costs me money. I was only running two ATI Radeon HD 7950s and a Intel Celeron G1610 Ivy Bridge CPU. While, I was using it for mining, I still believe I had more than enough power.

Overall Review: If it didn't fail within weeks I would have said this was a decent product.

Pros: The drives are quiet and cheap. Newegg was quick about the shipping and always great prices!

Cons: I ordered five drives and one was DOA. Spent 24 hours trying to get a raid 5 setup working only to do a SMART test on the one drive and found out that it was full of read errors. Now I gotta do an RMA with WD, which means more $$$$$ for shipping then waiting for the drive to come back. A bunch of hassles. I gave this product two stars because the other drives. But then again, this is only day two.
