2014 Counter Depth Refrigerator Reviews

our refrigerator is covered with them!

2014: bought the original Areca 8050 filled with HGST drives and used primarily for Lightroom/FCPX editing. Zero issues with this RAID. Thunderbolt 1 and see 400-600mb read/write speeds. 2020: Upgrade RAID system for more storage and better performance. After reading/watching all the reviews, I was expecting 800-900mb since my laptop/iMac still thunderbolt 2. RAID 5 with 8x WD Ultrastar providing 1100+mb and I couldn't be happier with these results. For anyone shopping one of these, don't be intimidated by the setup/config that some of the reviews note. It's a little bit of work, but nothing horrible. Honestly, I've had Alexa dongles that were more complicated to setup than this. Also: one of the review sites noted this T3 unit is not backward compatible with thunderbolt2 devices. I'm using the Apple T3-T2 adapter and it's working flawlessly. Thanks Areca for making such a solid performing array!

Have a high end refrigerator that is plug in into it, so far so good!

Even better than promised. Will try hooking it to my refrigerator.

Strong enough to hold up a refrigerator, I think. Fits perfectly, of course.

I read the reviews and this lens behaves like expected. Sharp and extremely capable in terms of focal plane and depth of field control. I also experienced a little frustration with the small locking knobs, more so by their lack of engagement, than by the size of them (if not really tight the lens can slip). Extemely long depth of field is possible by using the tilt function and as the closest focal distance is less than you'd expect... you can get some other than expected compositions. Make sure you keep everything (like metering) in manual, per the rest of the lens. Meter w/o shift or tilt first, then do you magic. Fun lens... expensive, but hey... isn't that why we have hobbies in the first place!

I’ve had the monopod for a few days now, which isn’t enough to do an in depth review, but after seeing the other reviews and trying this out myself, it is amazing. Super sturdy, and I plan to use it with an ultra-wide angle lens held up way above me, or with any heavier lens like a 300mm 2.8 or a 400mm 2.8. Do note though, fully extended is a perfect length for me, and I’m around 5’7” tall. Might be a deal breaker for those who are 6’0 and taller.

My reviews don't seem to get published, so I will not go into depth. The drive seems to meet its specs. It was a good price and delivery, BH is one of my favorite sellers. So far so good. Only time will tell about reliability, but as far as I am aware, there are no issues with it.

I almost went a different route because of the mixed reviews - but I'm glad I didn't. The common thread for poor reviews seems to be focus. That isn't a problem on the Sony a6300, which has focus-peaking. This is a manual-focus lens that will require learning some technique if you didn't grow up in the days of film. Some may not understand that this is an f-0.95 aperture that has a paper-thin depth of field. You buy a lens like this for low-light or creative control. The clickless aperture ring is a nuisance for some, but I have figured out how to use it seamlessly with my work. Start at f-0.95, manually-focus on your subject, then adjust aperture to get desired depth of focus. Image quality is surprisingly good - especially for an ultra-fast lens.

I’ve been renting my Comcast cable modem for years. After seeing the in-depth reviews of the NETGEAR Orbi, I had to try it for myself. Absolutely great. Wi-Fi on home is much faster
