Pros: I ordered 5 for a RAID5 config with the 3ware 9750-8i. They came more securely packaged than any drives I've ever bought (I've bought from most major companies). All 5 worked and have been working for over a week in that RAID5 environment. I get 600Mb/s read speeds and >500Mb/s write speeds in the RAID5 (note: this only works with a true hardware RAID), which tells you that the individual drive speed is about 1/4 of that, since RAID5 read is theoretically (n-1)(speed of the individual drive.)

Cons: They don't come with a manual, but if you know what you're buying, you probably don't need one.

Overall Review: Very cheap for what you are getting. You can't tell unless you are looking at the manufacturer's website, but this drive is not in the same class as drives like the Seagate Barracuda or WD Black. The key specification here is URE rate, which stands for Unrecoverable Read Error rate. The Barracuda and Black and most others in that price range have a URE rate of 1 URE for every 1e14 bits read, which means you can expect 1 URE for every 12ish TBs read from the disk. For this drive, however, the URE rate is 1 URE for every 1e15 bits read, which means that, when filled with data, this drive can be read 100 times before it will have a URE. This is not true for all Toshiba drives, of course. But in order to get this performance from another company, you have to pay about 40% more.

Pros: Look at the specs. Pretty good performance/price ratio.

Cons: Failed after six hours. Is no longer recognized in the BIOS or anywhere. I tried different cables/ports/power cables. It is as dead as dead gets.

Overall Review: Mine failed while there was still 80GB free. Had installed Windows 7, downloaded Adobe Production Premium and installed it was well as a host of other small programs, and was downloading BF3. It cut out all of a sudden, but my computer did not restart; it just went blank and said "please insert boot drive and restart."

Pros: It's IPS, reasonably thin bezels, very low cost. Viewing angles are what you would expect for IPS. Works perfectly in portrait mode. It is very light, which is good for mounting on an arm.

Cons: Bezels are NOT as thin as indicated in the product images. Image looks washed out compared to nicer monitors. Image quality is below average. There was some film or junk on the screen that needed cleaning.

Overall Review: I immediately took the stand off in order to mount it on an arm via the VESA mount, so I can't comment on the stand. I bought this to display ~100 or so lines of code in portrait mode, and it is excellent in that capacity.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Broke

Overall Review: Cable died; other cables will work between the dvd player and tv that I was connecting with this cable

Pros: Cheap

Cons: None I can think of

Overall Review: I installed this in a 2010 Macbook White Unibody, and it was really easy. It has given the laptop new life.

Pros: Super cool extremely sturdy construction easy to install because of protective plate over exposed PCB not so heavy it sags only requires 1 eight-pin power cable has lots of room (temperature-wise; I can't speak for stability) for overclocking very quiet, especially since it 1) Won't spin the fans until it hits 65C 2) Rarely hits 65C. Playing Far Cry 4 on all ultra at 1440p has only hit 70C once, and usually stays around 67C.

Cons: Really big. I mean, much bigger than any card I've ever installed. It isn't just long (the usual complaint about GPU size), but it is also wider (the dimension perpendicular to the motherboard's pcb) than other cards due to the large heatsink and I imagine it would not be uncommon to have a case that is not wide enough to house it. I had to disassemble part of my case to install it and move a HDD cage.

Overall Review: I'm not sure that it is worth the $20-$30 over the normal 970 cards. If silence is important to you, and you have plenty of space, go for it. Coming from a 560 Ti, it feels like an appropriate upgrade. It's the difference between good framerates (50s) on medium* at 1440p to the same framerates on ultra, and a lot less noise. *for pretty much any DX11 game
