Western Digital Caviar Black WD2001FASS 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive. This review is from: Western Digital WD Black WD2001FASS 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive Pros: I've had this drive for over three years now, with it being in constant operation for about 90% of that time, it hasn't missed a beat. That's saying something for a non-enterprise grade drive (though I hear these are pretty similar to the WD RE drives). As an added bonus (actually the reason why I bought it), is because the WD Black drives are known for being fast, and it definitely lives up to that expectation. Cons: A little pricey, and it runs kinda hot, but then again it is a 7200RPM drive. Other Thoughts: I'm going to have to decommission this drive pretty soon, unfortunately, due to added space requirements, the fact that it's aging, SATA II (doesn't really matter for spinning platters though) and because you just can't really buy them anymore.

This review is from: D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit Pros: Lots of featuresQuietGreat receptionGood speed Cons: Lack of customer supportReboots itself for seemingly no reasonRequires reboot for any change you make to the settingsAdmin page is buggy and hangs Other Thoughts: I bought this router a few months ago when I moved into my new apartment.
At first, I thought it was great. About a month passed, and I realized that the router would reboot itself for absolutely no reason that I could tell. In addition, navigating the router settings is a pain. Worst of all, D-Link's support site is one of the worst I've ever seen. So while I'm happy with what this router does when it works right, I'm wholly annoyed with the thing in general. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
