Thanks for the comments and I definitely have some things to think about.

I'd like to see more reviews, but they're tough to do. The only way I can be sure they're not being "gamed" by the vendor (paying an author to say something, writing themselves as a psuedonym, etc.) is to do them myself.

However then I get into the place where I'm not sure I'm completely qualified to review all products. I don't have a heavily stressed environment, for example, so for my purposes, all the backup products would probably test well. However in a 4TB environment, they might not. Or I might not like the way a particular product does a job and it would show in my review, but then I might not be using it well and unnecessarily "trash" the product.

I've given reviews a lot of thought over the years and that's one reason I don't write them. Right or wrong (probably wrong), people seemt to give my words more weight than they deserve. I don't want to negatively impact sales for someone with an ill-written word.

Some of the other comments are great and I'll see about taking some of these into account. I do think advertising plays a good part in the community, if nothing else if gives you awareness. I'm still working on a plan to suggest to Red Gate for next year on this.
