Pros: Burned perfectly fine at 6x speed. During verification it started at 3.6x and got as fast as 8x, then started to spin down in speed as it was on the second layer, and finished reading at 3.5. I left about 30 megs free on the disc, so burned all the way to the edge. Appears to have no problems at all. But will update in several months to see if this disc suffers the same dye failure as other Ritek Discs.

Cons: Only available in printable glossy top. WHY!! So frustrating.

Pros: I got these on cyber Monday sale for 29.99 a spindle. Now that I look back on what their media code is, I think 29.99 is way too expensive

Cons: These are Disc ID: RITEK-BR2-000. What does this mean? They will fail, PERIOD. The dye used sucks, and fails anywhere from a month to a year later. This same dye has been used for 3-4 years now and they still have not fixed the issues with it. I sadly bought 4 spindles of these thinking I would be saving money. Instead I might as well burned the cash instead of buying these.

Overall Review: If you want inexpensive media, the optical quantum have not failed me yet. I have been using them for 2-3 years with no issues, and only fails are when my burner takes a dump. Stay away from these unless Newegg is giving them away for free.

Pros: fast when it works

Cons: no support whatsover from Samsung. If the drive dies and you live in Canada, you're so out of luck.

Overall Review: Samsung is supposed to be the top tier when it comes to SSD drives, but when they fail, they do it with style. Your drive has no support paths in Canada, and you can't register it on the American site where there ARE support options for SSD's. As it stands I have a drive that will randomly disconnect and then give disk read errors on boot. Buy a different brand, one that actually has support for Canadian customers.

Pros: Battery life is listed at 45 hours, it's a lie. Why is this a pro? Because I had these things for almost 2 months, with an average use of 1.5-2 hours of usage per day, and I JUST recharged these for the first time. Well over 100 hours of battery life. I am extremely impressed. Bluetooth connection on these is a piece of cake, they sound alright (not Seinheiser but good base and treble). Would I buy these again? Hell yes I would. For the price you will not find anything better. I wish more bluetooth headphones had such a long battery life, I was sick and tired of having to recharge headsets every 3-4 days. If you want to have a headset you can practically forget about charging, THESE are the ones you want.

Cons: The only can I have about these is that they are a little loose on the head. I use them in the gym, and when I am doing bench press, they tend to slide off my head.

Pros: It comes with a cool box.

Cons: I had the board up and running for 3 days. 3 days, and it failed. Out of the box you have to flash the USB 3 controllers or else the board will refuse to boot with any items on the usb 3 ports. I came home today to my computer beeping and displaying error 67. Ram slot 4 had failed, and the computer would refuse to boot with any ram in that slot. After some google searching, this is a very common issue with this board, sadly. I should have listened to the reviews that said stay away from this board, but I needed a new socket 2011 board as my gigabyte is away for RMA and I couldn't stand being down. If I can't return the board, with it not even being in my hands for a week, I will be extremely unhappy. I purchased it through the newegg marketplace, as newegg no longer sells 2011 boards themselves.

Overall Review: I should have known after my experience with the Intel DX58S0 that their "enthusiast" line boards are utter garbage. Intel can make great processors, but nothing else at all.

Pros: Card was inexpensive. Card is FAST. Honestly had no problems at all with this card. Popped it into my Note 3 and it was mounted right away. No issues at all.

Cons: did not come with a USB 3 adapter.

Overall Review: With the 128 gig sdhc card out by sandisk now, this should drop some more in price. Also, make certain your device supports something of this size.
