Pros: +After tweaking the contrast/brightness, it's a pretty good display with good picture quality and nice color representation.
+Gaming performance in terms of screen lag was good and I did not have any issues with ghosting in DOOM or Dead by Daylight.
+Was able to overclock the refresh rate to 66 Hz without causing any other issues (image jitter, clipping, loss in quality).
+Build quality is fairly good despite the monitor being all plastic and the base having no metal support (though there is a metal hinge for the tilt). It doesn't feel cheaply made.
+Plastic is matte, not glossy, so it doesn't show fingerprints.
+Monitor bezel around the screen is only 3/4" on the sides.

Cons: -Mine was missing the power cord as well...luckily I had a spare otherwise I'd have an unusable monitor.
-Only comes with a 15-pin D-Sub VGA cable. I understand not including a DVI cable since those are a bit antiquated, but I see no reason to not include a 6' HDMI cable instead.

Other Thoughts: As you can probably tell from the pictures and the specs, this monitor has no height or rotation adjustment, and does not support the DisplayPort interface.

Monitor tweaks/settings I used:
Brightness: 35
Contrast: 75
Colour: 6500K
Sharpness: 3
DDC/CI: Off
ACR: Off
Overdrive: Off

Connected to an EVGA GTX 980 via DVI cable on an i7 4790K system.

Pros: + Good speeds with both read and write using USB3.
+ Comparing this drive with several other USB3 based drives I have (Corsair Voyager GO, Corsair Voyager Slider, Corsair Flash Voyager) in my benchmark testing using 4 different testing applications, it was either best or in the middle with performance, and only worst 1 time with 1 test. (See “Other Thoughts” for full benchmark testing results and rankings.)

+ Real world performance was very good. In an effort to put the drive through it’s paces, I did 3 file copy tests using TeraCopy 2.27 Free to track the copy times and performance.
** Large file test:
Copying the Windows 7 Professional w/SP1 64-bit ISO MSDN image, en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso, 3.09 GB in size, took 2 minutes, 42 seconds, with a write rate of 20 MB/s.
** Medium size file, large quantity test:
Copying a directory of images taken with my Canon PowerShot SX130IS 12MP digital camera, 882 files, 20 folders, 8.96 GB in size, took 9 minutes, 5 seconds, with a write rate of 17 MB/s.
** Small file, small quantity test:
Copying the Rage Against the Machine discography, 73 Files, 5 Folders, encoded with Lame Encoder in VBR V0 preset, 450MB in size, took 34 seconds, with a write rate of 13 MB/s.

Cons: - Really flimsy feeling construction. Because of the "split" construction (with a smaller top section) it feels like I could break the drive, or at least the housing, in my hands very easily. Yes, it's plastic, and most thumb drives are plastic, but this plastic and the way it's put together just feels incredibly flimsy and cheap.

- Has open holes for a lanyard or keyring, but does not come with either. Every other drive I've seen that has these holes comes with the lanyard or plastic string piece to use there.

Other Thoughts: The Corsair drives [that I have] feel like I could run them over with my truck and they'd still be in one piece and work fine; the Blaze B05 feels like I could break it with my bare hands. The performance is pretty good, but the construction leaves a lot to be desired. Being a thumb drive and portable, I wouldn't feel too comfortable lugging this thing around everywhere like I would with the other thumb drives that I have. I don't want to say it's "fragile", but, it definitely isn't going to survive a lot of throwing around and briefcase bouncing.

If you need a drive with solid performance that is only going to be used in one place and won't need to be transported around, this would be a good choice. If you need something that will go place to place, computer to computer, I would definitely look elsewhere. Even if the Blaze B05 had the best performance out of all of my drives, I wouldn't take it out of the house due to the construction compared to my other drives.
