Pros: Bought this on sale for around 220 and haven't regretted it once. Well built, plenty of airflow. The RAID card included is an absolute JOKE and you will get less than 30MB/s read/write out of it (not to mention crummy drivers and management software)

Cons: Newegg's shipping. Even after paying 2.99 for their 'priority' service along with next day shipping, it took over 3 business days to get here. Not impressed with Newegg's shipping department lately. Also, the included Silicon Image RAID card. Took the advice of a former reviewer and bought the HighPoint RocketRaid 2314 and am now getting over 100MB/s in RAID-5 using 8 drives (totaling around 10.5TB of storage!)

Overall Review: Throw away the included SATA controller that comes with it and buy the HighPoint 2314 card sold here on Newegg instead. TONS faster, better drivers and management software. Glad I did it.

Pros: It was supposed to be cool. It did work 3 times.

Cons: Only did what ti said it would do 3 times. I, like most, bought it as the shell shocker deal. Only fully charged one time, there's no circuitry in there to prevent over-charging, so as the manual says, don't leave it in the USB port for more than 5 hours - or you've just killed the non-replaceable battery inside. That's ok, video and audio were out of sync, poor quality audio AND video needing too much light to do anything indoors with anyways. Cheap Chinese junk.

Pros: Items work out of the box. No setup really necessary. Just plug it in and go. Actual speeds vary, but is roughly the equivalent of a 10/100 wired network (speeds 50-100Mb/s) from about 5 years ago using old cat5 cabling. Instead, you're using your AC wiring to do it now, instead of having to run wiring yourself through the walls, attic, etc

Cons: GENERATES RF LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE!! If you're a HAM/Amateur radio operator like me, don't even think for a minute you're gonna work HF anymore with these things plugged in. Matter of fact, you'll hear these things belching out RF many houses down...hope your neighbor doesn't own one. Using one of these on basically unshielded cable turns your AC power lines into a very rough "antenna" and will generate all kinds of radio frequency interference on and around the low frequencies they use in order to operate. If you listen to AM radio, or have any cheap, unshielded appliances around the house that are susceptible to interference from radio waves, these babies are most likely the culprit. It's just how HOMEPLUG works.

Overall Review: Ibrahim H. - you're just wrong - these will work FINE on power outlets that are not on the same "Breaker". Now, if you have multiple breaker BOXES in your house - then you might run into issues, but they will still work, just at lower speeds. IF YOUR NEIGHBOR IS A HAM RADIO OPERATOR WITH A BUNCH OF ANTENNAS IN HIS YARD - AND YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE THEM MAD - put these all around your house - guaranteed you'll put them out of the HF business. As a courtesy to any HF/SW/AM radio listeners or HAMS that might be near me, I ALWAYS unplug all of mine when not in use.

Pros: For the price, this card can't be beat. I've owned software based RAID cards before and they've always been as slow as the day is long. This thing acts like a hardware RAID card with over 100MB/s read and write speeds to a Rosewill RSV-S8 enclosure in RAID-5 mode. Supports S.M.A.R.T., hotplugging, and in-place expansion of the array without having to re-format (currently expanding from 6 drives to 8...total of 10.5TB!)

Cons: Will NOT support single-drive mode. If you expect this card to address drives one at a time, you're wasting your money. Its meant for RAID ONLY...not as a standalone SATA controller.

Overall Review: Bought the Rosewill RSV-S8 on sale for under 250 and added this card for around 200. Spent less than 500 smokes on 10.5GB worth of RAID-5 storage (not including drives) which is tough to beat.

Pros: Excellent board. Excellent price. Using it for a Windows Home Server board running a 7 camera CCTV system and SageTV DVR system, fileserver, and everything else in between. AMD Phenom 9600 and 4GB of ram. On-board video does HDTV just fine - shouldn't need any other video card unless you're into high ended gaming.

Cons: Had some problems with an "Unknown Device" which ended up being an "ATK0110" power management driver that couldnt be found on AMD's site.

Overall Review: Runs windows 7 and home server just fine. Great price for a great board. Foxconn makes most of the motherboards for Dell and several other major manufacturers so if they trust 'em, so do I.

Pros: Low cost. Decent construction/materials. Good connections. No fans (that's a plus!)

Cons: LED "activity" light is kind of a joke. It's more of a mickey-mouse way of showing activity by detecting a voltage drop in the line when it's reading/writing. Light stays on all the time and 'dims' when there's activity.

Overall Review: Overall a good bargain. I bought 6 of these and I'm gonna start buying them for all my future computer builds. Don't think im going to ever mount a HDD inside the case again..there's no need if you have a few of these. Quick and easy way to swap out drives if you constantly tinker, troubleshoot, and take your cases apart like I do.
