Good addition to computer
Pros: This installed easily with only one problem & everything works well. The USB cord is of adequate length. There is one extreme caution that is mentioned in Cons below. I would have given it 5 eggs otherwise.
Cons: The USB connector for the motherboard is not wired with standard color coding of the wires. The black and brown wires are the positive 5 volt leads that should go to pins 1 & 2 of the USB socket on the motherboard. These should have been red. I used an ohmeter to verify the proper continuity. Note: Pay no attention to the little triangular arrow on the connector as it should point to pin #1 but doesn't with this unit.
Overall Review: Installed in a Rosewill R512BS Mid Tower Case using a Foxconn A7GM-S motherboard.
Great Company
Pros: Performed flawlessly in my new computer build since 2011. G.Skill honors their lifetime warranty.
Cons: 1 of the 2 4GB modules failed after 3 years of service causing intermittent crashes and BSOD's.
Overall Review: I am writing this review to commend G.SKILL for a prompt free replacement of one 4GB module after 3 years of use. Good benchmarks and excellent warranty service maintains a 5 egg rating!
Well Engineered
Pros: This case is well designed for all the components. No sharp edges, strong construction & just an absolute pleasure to build my system in. The black finish is just the right texture for a computer case. System runs cool.
Cons: None
Overall Review: MSI FM2 A75MA-E35 MOBO, A8-5600K CPU @ 4.1 Ghz, 8GB DDR3, 1 SSD & 2 1TB HDD's.
Fast drive & good replacement service
Pros: Fast drive, great performance & recent excellent service from OCZ.
Cons: The first drive lasted 3 months, no longer seen in BIOS. I returned it via RMA and tested the second one. It failed after 20 minutes of diagnostics. The 3rd SSD arrived today and it works fine.
Overall Review: I knocked only one egg off this review because of the excellent and fast service from OCZ. With all experiences over the past 30 years in RMA's and such, this company excels in service.
Excellent Mechanical Keyboard
Pros: This keyboard compares more than favorably to my Northgate Omnikey and Avant Prime keyboards which are about 20 years old now. The feel & fit is perfect for my typing.
Cons: Absolutely none.
Overall Review: It really pays to pay extra for quality like this. The difference between this keyboard and a membrane type is the same as an LCD monitor to an old CRT monitor. They do the same thing but the quality and performance difference is huge.
Good Experience
Pros: Everything worked well on first try. Wireless coverage OK. Found the menu navigation user friendly. Firmware update went smooth.
Cons: The wall wart could use a better design.
Overall Review: I mainly use this as an extension off another router to connect more computers in the house via both ethernet cable and wireless.
