Pros & Cons
Pros
This is my 4th startech item i have purchased over the last 8 years. Their post sales tech support is rare nowadays, and this value added service for an out of warranty item is what makes startech such a great company. This device is simple awesome!
Cons

This product is considerably more expensive than other similar products.
