Revainrating 5 out of 5

2nd purchase, Fan Works

I recently bought one of these. The fan never worked. Returned if Revain for a refund. I was tempted to give them another chance by buying them again. UPDATE March 2nd: I took a chance and bought it again to see if the fan would work. To address my earlier complaint, there's a tiny fan switch that's barely visible on the lower right side of the case. This is a rotary on/off/speed switch, similar to the on/off/volume knob on older transistor radios. It's so small it's easy to miss. It is set to "Off" at the factory. I'm pretty sure the first one I bought was disabled as well, except I missed it. It's really tiny. Oh the fan is silent even though I set it to maximum speed. I have changed my rating from 1 star to 3 stars. I'll check again in a year. If there are any heat issues, fan noise issues, or it completely crashes, I will update this review. If it's not difficult I'll change it to 5 stars.

Pros
  • 70% faster than standard USB 3.0
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
