Pros: Decent air cooler; looks good; isn't too loud!

Cons: ...but is a massive pain in the rear to mount. The numbers I'm seeing aren't that much better than the stock temps, and that's pretty sad. I'm only knocking it a single egg, though, since the Arctic Silver 5 hasn't had time to set up properly and the temps will likely dip down.

Pros: The picture is stunning; it's great for multi (side-by-side) monitor mounts as there's almost no bezel or border, though it does not have VESA mount points, so you have to find (and usually tap) a specially made mounting plate. ...however...

Cons: After about 8 months of light usage, the right half of the screen started developing stripes of various colors. Didn't matter whether it was VGA or DVI, and it was system-agnostic. Dell couldn't give a [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] less about the problem, either, despite *MANY* phone calls. The warranty on this is utterly useless. Occasionally, the stripes go away and it's lovely again. But then they come back. Another thing it likes to do is 'lock up'. That is, no matter what you press, the monitor will not respond and will appear to be completely and totally dead. The fix for this is the same as most monitors that seem to lock: press and hold the power button, unplug the power while still holding the power button, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in while still holding the power button. Pretty much the same process to reset an HPaq laptop's power circuit when it refuses to turn on.

Overall Review: I had recommended this model to many, many clients. Of them, only one has had any issue other than the lockup discussed above -- and they had the stripe-banding issue that I have. I cannot, in good conscience recommend this to anyone anymore. I gave it two instead of one egg because I know they're not *ALL* bad.

Pros: Fast drive, well constructed, generally no issues with installation...

Cons: ...of the 60 or so of this model I currently have in clients' machines, 25 of them outright failed. First sign of failure is a BSOD, followed by an inability of the BIOS to detect the drive. Cutting power to the machine will restore functionality, but this should *ONLY* be used to clone the drive to a replacement as the BSoD will happen again. On the *SECOND* time, all you'll be able to do is read the filesystem one, *MAYBE* two folders deep. *NO* data will be recoverable at this point. I'm pre-emptively replacing the others at a cost of nearly $3500, not including my time.

Overall Review: I've done RMA's on a few of them, but I've been just shooting the majority of them. The ones that are bad-bad, at least. The questionable ones just go in a dock for temporary client backups. I don't have any trust for this brand anymore, and that makes me sad.

Pros: 2.3GB/s sustained reads, 1040MB/s writes. If not for the fact that my motherboard is one of the worst on the planet (Asus X99-A), this thing would be amazing! ...and it still is. For large files, this thing beats the living snot out of anything I've pitted it against. ...and, unlike RAID-0'd SSDs, it supports TRIM.

Cons: It *DOES* run really, really warm for what it is. My case has enough airflow for that not to be a huge problem, but I could see where it *COULD* pose an issue for some folks.

Overall Review: Overall, I feel it was worth the money. I couldn't quite justify the 1.2TB version, so I went with this. I do not regret it in the least.

Pros: I've used these in server builds for clients and in a massive gaming rig for myself. The servers aren't really using it to its full potential, but the 10 year warranty was the draw for that. Plus, *ANYBODY* can swap out a modular PSU. Now. For me? I'm pushing this thing to nearly 100% when I go insane. And it doesn't. Even. Blink. The weeping angels could not displace this PSU from its timeline and live off of the potential energy.

Cons: The one con: Some of the cables are a bit longer than I'd like, but you know what? SFW -- this thing is a beast and worth every penny.

Overall Review: By far one of the best PSUs I have ever owned. The only one to ever top it was the Corsair 1000W that I had in my Skulltrail dual Xeon machine. And even then I think this one could have handled that machine!

Pros: Easy to setup (I currently have two 3TB Western Digital Enterprise drives in a RAID-1 in it right now). It seems to be pretty quick (getting around 80MB to 90MB/second from USB3 to USB3). The unit is pretty quiet, solidly-built -- so far, no qualms! Well worth the money, and I'll be getting a second one when the 4TB's come back from RMA.

Cons: None as of yet.

Overall Review: I was amused by the inclusion of the non-US power adapters. I think one is UK and one might be... Korean? I'm not terribly sure.

I ordered 4 1TB Western Digital RE4 drives. During transit of literally 14 miles, USPS lost the package. The tracking number was never scanned as received into USPS' system and no one knows where the package is. I contacted Tech Experts through email, and was contacted today by a wonderful lady by the name of Shawn (I hope that's the correct spelling). She has arranged a will-call for me to come and pick up replacement drives, and we discussed our now-mutual distrust of the United States Postal System. :-) I understand stuff happens, and I most certainly do not hold Tech Experts accountable for the lost package. Their prompt response and more-than-willingness to bend over backwards to help rectify the situation has earned them a new customer. And if USPS happens to find the package and it miraculously shows up at my door, I will happily bring it to TE's offices. Five eggs is not enough. We need more chickens. ;-)
