Pros: I have three of these, and am ordering two more. We use these for volume expansion on our Windows Storage Server. The unit spins the 3 added drives up and down according to the driver kicking in when Windows reboots. The single port drive stays on, which we don't boot from. LED's on the front of the unit give good indication on activity.

Cons: One of the units, after power-down, would not come back on. No power LED, no drive LED. The PSU on the bottom is impossible to replace. At this price point, they are easily replaceable. If you rely on them for production server work, have one spare. The OS picks up the drives OK from another enclosure. It's just somewhat of a hassle. We don't turn these off any longer.

Overall Review: I'm not sure why eSATA enclosures with 8 bays are 4x cost instead of 2x cost of this price point. We find these units easy enough to expand out with, for now. 8 drives per esata card (2 externals of 4 bays each) seems to work out for now.

Pros: 1TB drives do work.

Cons: Bios updater from SI doesn't actually recognize this card. I cannot flash this. Server won't boot with drives attached to the card. Thankfully I have them in a cage.

Overall Review: I have to pop my drives out, let the server boot, then reseat them in the SATA cage and let the server rebuild them. Forget you ever saw this card.

Pros: These work well in Vmware servers for 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5

Cons: No real problems

Overall Review: Card is larger than other micro style cards, but with Vmware pulling support for many cards in 5.1 and 5.5, this fits the bill. Works in any machine that has PCIx.

Pros: Good cables. We are using these to go from Patch Panel to Switch. Standard cables are too heavy, and drag down the patch panel mount. I use these instead. They look better at the client site.

Cons: None. Work as expected.

Overall Review: Standard 6 ft patch panel cables x 48 makee WAY too much weight hanging off the patch panel mount. I had to pull them all out and put in these little 3ft flat ones instead.

Pros: These work great. You can hit the WPS button on your router, the WPS button on this, and sit back as it auto syncs. Then you're done. Takes maybe 30 seconds. You can see the LEDs on each device working then solid, so you know it's done. You can also direct plug into this and set it up as an AP. The menus are super easy with the integrated web browser.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I sometimes get a pile of these refurbed from a local supplier, at the cost of a decent lunch. It's rediculous. I like to five or so in stock. Client wants just an AP, they are set. If they need expand their WiFi, same box. If they need massive expansion of two or more, works just the same. I have not tried more than two of these at a site. When someone else has a WAP (non-router) on sale for $100, I just laugh. These are all you need. sometimes I get the white flat box, sometimes I get the blue oval. They a 2 models. The both work the same.

Pros: We were having issues with our external storage bays using Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces. I suspected the old eSATA2 cables that couldn't keep up. Used these eSata3 and all was good

Cons: None

Overall Review: The old cables were thicker and unwieldy. Due to the shielding, I thought this would mean they were good cables. No sir. My 4 and 8 bay esata enclosures would reset during heavy transfers. These did the trick. Long enough to get the job done without losing fidelity. Easy to bend. Fit very snugly. Can't stand loose eSata cables that pop out.
