Pros: USB 3 Not on a vertical stand Transfer speeds near 90mb/sec when copying from a raid array.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Seems like a good drive, I have several seagate external drives I have used over the years and none of them have ever failed! I hope this one lasts just as long!

Pros: Watch the newegg unboxing video and read up on it. It has a lot of great features and cool toys for enthusiasts and overclockers.

Cons: 1- Coloring. The orange really clashes with everything, i wish they offered an all black version for people who don't want orange. I'd rather have no color at all then this orange. (I obviously knew this when I bought it, but I still think its something that could be addressed.) 2- The water block is TERRIBLE. You CAN NOT use your own fittings and the manual has ZERO information about it. It has 8mm barbs (I had to write them and ask.) A standard 1/2" fitting most water coolers use in the US will actually fit entirely over the barb. Then there is one last problem... the water-block is made of aluminum instead of copper. It was a really cool idea to put a water-block on this board, but unfortunately they completely failed their execution of it. The lack of ability to use our own fittings makes running lines a little odd and then you also have a bottle neck in your system as well! If you are not going to do it right, I don't think gigabyte should have done it at all. For some reason the lack of thought put into this water block really irks me.. It seems like they did it as an afterthought and didn't really put any real time or effort into it's design or implementation. 3- Cost. The cost of this board is way too high. Its a really nice board, but its not worth $400. I kind of regret purchasing it. For $400 you expect the perfect board, and a few things could have been done better on this board. 4- OC Buttons. This isn't a major con, but I wish the on board OC buttons were on the bottom side of the board instead of up there by the ram. If i was using a bench it would not be an issue, but with water cooling tubes its kind of in a weird spot. I suppose they were meant for bench testers anyways... 5- Documentation. The documentation for this board is very poor. It comes with a bunch of generic instructions every mobo comes with, but fails to elaborate on some of it's more advanced features. Expect to deal with a lot of trial/error figuring out some of these features/settings. Some things are barely mentioned at all..

Overall Review: Even though the GA-Z77X-UP7 has the same mounting holes, you cannot use a Z77 waterblock to replace the one the board came with. There are a few things that prevent it from seating properly. This is not really a pro or con, just thought i would throw it out there for anyone who was thinking of trying to replace the "waterblock" the board came with. (If you actually want to give it enough credit to call it that.) Something else to consider... Haswell is on fire. These chips run VERY hot and do not OC very well without having the heat spreader removed. This exact board would have been gold with a sandy bridge chip. But outside of competitions, this board is really not the best choice for a consumer (even a high end enthusiast.) I think the haswell chips are a little too limited to really get the most out of this board.

Pros: Not enough to outweigh the cons

Cons: -This is my second board.. (First was shipped with bent pins, then newegg refused to RMA it.) -It has problems saving OC settings in bios to the point they will become stuck and unchangeable. -Raid arrays are easily lost. -LOTS of raid problems... now I cant even get into the raid settings. (After I lost it while moving it from 1 room to the other.) Of all the boards I have ever owned, this is the most overpriced hunk of junk ever. I paid a lot of money for some fancy plastic and a mobo that doesnt work.

Pros: Looks great! Plenty of interior room! Great overall features! Quality construction, nice fans included.. I was able to fit a XSPC AX360 (push/pull) radiator on the top without any issues. The screw/hardware box was a nice touch!

Cons: The air filter on the bottom (accessible from the front) makes the case a pain in the bum to carry. The front is easy to remove, but I had issues getting it back on! There are little tabs that are supposed to sit right behind a CDROM or something of that nature. I have a water reservoir that takes up 2 bays which make this a complete pain in the bum. I ended up just ripping those tabs off with pliers. Works fine now. I would have loved to see a little more clearance for cable management on the backside, the non modular fan controller adds to the clutter.. Another 1/4" would have been great! The backside has a quick-release that is pretty much worthless due to clearance. Expect to apply some pressure to get this thing to shut if you have plenty of cables, so using the top/bottom screws is a much better idea. The hard drive trays gave me a little hell every now and then.. Sometimes the pins would pop off while putting them in, and then didn't seem to slide in like I would have expected either.

Overall Review: I really would have liked to see a software interface for the lighting/fan controller. For as much as this case costs, you would think something like that would not be out of the question? I think the window could have been a bit larger, but not really anything other than an opinion. Not really a con, but after using the case for a while now I would like to see a flat area on top for sitting things on it. When I sit my phone on top of it while charging it often slides off and falls. Overall I am pretty happy with this case... I don't buy cases very often, so I figured I would spend a little extra money and get something great that will last a while. This case will do just that!

Pros: Worked perfectly, I was easily able to drop 2 mushkin deluxe ssds in there! I love that its made of metal instead of plastic too!

Cons: None

Overall Review: For the top drive you will not be able to use a elbow sata cable.

Pros: I own 2 of these, and they have not failed for their real purpose. (Providing an external hard drive)

Cons: One unit arrived without a working fan, and 1 LED was also not working. After about 6 months of use, the other one is having an LED issue. (flickering on/off) The units were bought on sale, and not really worth returning.

Overall Review: Rosewill should have better quality testing..
