Excellent!
Pros: Samsung 830 drives have the highest reliability of any SSD right now. They are also the best performing SSD out. They manufacture all of the components themselves to achieve this high level of performance and reliability and it shows.
Cons: If you are buying this for a laptop, you should probably get the notebook upgrade kit because it will include a spacer that some laptops will require. It is a very thin drive.
Crashes
Pros: When it works, it's amazing.
Cons: While I'm playing games, the card will drop everything in the graph down really low. This includes Power %, GPU Clock, GPU Usage, etc etc. This kills my framerates, bringing them from a constant 60 (forced through in-game options) to 15 or lower. The only way to recover from this is to restart my computer. I've tried two separate power supplies, tried underclocking, updated drivers, all that stuff. Unfortunately I can't seem to duplicate the issue. I can run benchmarks for a long time just fine.
Overall Review: I am going to see about an RMA, but I didn't register the product so I don't know how successful I'll be.
Lots of fun
Pros: Controls are simple to learn and use. The body is very durable.
Cons: Battery life isn't very long.
Pros: Great quality for the price.
Cons: Microphone isn't great, but I use a separate microphone so it doesn't bother me.
Good
Pros: Good image quality. Good viewing angle. Cables plug in from the bottom for a cleaner appearance.
Cons: Stand is a little shakey, but hasn't fallen over or broken. Doesn't include a DVI cable. Slow to turn on compared to my laptop's display which is instant.
Overall Review: Overall a very respectable monitor, though not the very best.
Great
Pros: Very fast. Haven't noticed any problems with my system slowing or freezing even while doing extremely cpu intensive tasks.
Cons: Not as overclock friendly as the K series, but I knew that when I bought it so it doesn't take away from it one bit.
