Pros: Has worked well for several years now, even after 18 months in storage.

Cons: Will switch gigabit ether fine at 1500 byte frames, but won't pass jumbos at any size. Tried with two matching Intel PCIe cards, with various settings, and no luck. Has "frozen" once or twice, and stopped passing traffic, but recovered after a restart.

Pros: Large drive, far faster than EIDE/ATA drives.

Cons: Click of death on 18 Feb 2009. Was streaming video fine at 8am, and at 9am, when the system restarted, it gave the click of death, constantly spinning up and down.

Overall Review: If you buy this, it better be for a raid.

Pros: Installed in my T61 in Jan 2009, no errors since then.

Cons: None.

Pros: Very fast, and the latest revisions of the driver package are very customizable. I've scanned thousands of documents with this, without significant problems, and would highly reccomend it to anyone looking to go paperless.

Cons: Two bugs appear occasionally: - Sometimes it fails to engage the first page of a document. This can be fixed tapping the page, and later, adjusting (bending) the small pad towards the document to pull it more firmly. It also comes with a spare pad in case this one wears out. - The drivers occasionally crash. I scan 200 pages per week, and maybe once per week, it will crash mid-doc, and I will have to start it over. - The drivers don't compress PDFs much. If a document is large, I often re-save it in adobe and save 30%.

Overall Review: ScanSoft PaperPort is just OK. The merge/explode features are handy, but the icon sizes are too small when dealing with many many documents. It will not scan documents longer than legal. Long expense receipts cannot be saved with this scanner, without tearing them in half and taping them to a legal page.

Pros: Works well either powered or unpowered, depending upon the types of devices.

Cons: My Asus Pundit will not boot with this device in any of it's USB ports. The system freezes at the ASUS bios graphics page, and proceeds no further. If I disconnect the device and continue, things proceed normally, and XP finds it without error.

Overall Review: Con might be a Asus BIOS problem, but you should be aware.

Pros: - Easily installed in an available 32bit PCI 33Mhz slot. - Posed no compatibility issues with the existing ATA/100 Highpoint 37x controller embedded in the mainboard. - No Windows XP compatibility issues on setup. - Paired with a "750GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS", I was able to migrate 400GB off an existing set of JBOD disks at about 30MB/sec average.

Cons: - No cables. - SATA sockets have nothing for locking cables to attach to.

Overall Review: Purchased to add SATA support to my old Abit KR7A-RAID & Athlon XP 1900+ BeyondTV server. Works great so far!
