Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-17 Summary: Great toy!!!!! ... I bought two of these toys for Christmas, one for my 10yr old niece and the other for my 7yr old daughter. They both loved them, after opening we took the girls outside to play with them and right out of the box they are pretty easy to fly even for kids. I got a big kick out of all the adults who were begging the kids for a turn with the toy! Very happy with the purchase, would definitely buy again. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-13 Summary: Durable...just explain how fragile it is before using!!! ... This toy is used by my twin sons (age 7). They are very distructive with most of their toys. However, we've advised them how FRAGILE this toy is and it has managed to hold up so far. The durability of this flyer seems pretty good! The charge time is minimal and the wear time of the battery is perfect so they don't get bored. You need a lot of space to fly indoors. It's larger than some of the other flyers. Our kids love it and advised the STAR markings in this review! ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-08-01 Summary: The BEST MODEM of its day ... Can't believe that upgrading my generic 56k modem to this showed a performance gain of up to 250%. Yes, 2.5x!! The generic modem, which most of have nowadays is pathetic. The connection speed is greater and the hardware chip set is phenomenal. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2003-03-11 Summary: The most solid 56k connection you will get. ... Sure, you can buy an internal modem, but you will not get the kind of bandwidth that an external modem can give you. Not everybody is on Cable or DSL, and not everybody needs that kind of bandwidth. Dial-up connections to the internet are dependent on the quality of your local phone lines. I can get a solid 53.3Kbps connection and you'd be surprised at how fast I can surf and do the common things we do online. Sure, Cable and DSL are great, but do you need to spend [a lot] a month to download your 4k e-mails and read ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2002-02-16 Summary: FASTEST AND BEST ... I have used this model for a year and I have yet to get disconnected from my ISP. I also switched to XP and it picked the modem right up--I didn't have to install any software! Before I got the Robotics 5686-03 external (also called Sportster model 0701), I got disconnected several times a day. I think the people who are having problems with this modem are probably newbies messing with things that should be left alone. This is a hardware modem and it doesn't need a software program to run like the ...winmodems do--just ...more

[2] ... Review | Many people swear by external modems, claiming they offer faster, smoother connections than their internal counterparts. Although we've found in the past that internal and external modems tend to perform similarly, after testing the 3Com 56K Faxmodem we are inclined to agree. It offered rock-steady connections that software-based internal modems can't match and outperformed most of the internal modems we've tested in terms of speed. The hardware has features that competing products lack, like seven...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-20 Summary: The most exciting storage product at this price point. ... Storage innovation has been ongoing over the years, but there hasn't been a whole lot of "new stuff" lately, and at price points like this, there hasn't been much change at all. Traditionally if you wanted to buy a cheap disk shelf, you'd be looking at something from Apple (discontinued), Promise, possibly Adaptec, NetGear, Iomega for a cheap 1u-style NAS head--at perhaps 4x-8x the price of this Drobo Pro. But this isn't a NAS head, and it contains 8 drives (though it works fine with fewer). Instead, you're buying ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-06-27 Summary: Fast, easy to use ... Dead simple to use compared to any other RAID-ish system I've seen, and more flexible. You can mix drive sizes and it (usually) makes good use of the space (be sure to prototype your configuration first using their online drive calculator). Plus you can replace small drives with larger drives on-the-fly. Rad. The network iSCSI connection is more than fast enough to edit several simultaneous streams of video. Some issues: 1. It only supports HFS+ volumes up to 16TB. According to Apple's Technical Note TN1150, HFS+ can ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-09 Summary: Almost Perfect! ... I love my drobo pro. The drobo people are taking a play from apple's playbook and really presenting a unique unboxing experience. The packaging is very apple'esque. The box's insides are painted all black, all high density foam inside is black. The bits and pieces box is on the very top says "Welcome to the world of..."; very cool. Setup was seamless. I have loaded this thing with 8 2T drives. Con: The Ethernet on board is for iSCSI only, AND it will not work with a droboshare device! That is the only ding I have for ...more
