Pros: -Doesn't take up as much room as my previous, lower wattage PSU -Lots of cables provided -Virtually noise-free -Talks to the H100i cooler with the supplied communications cable -Fits in my RV-02E case with enough room to fit a H100i cooler below it

Cons: - Cables are flat instead of sleeved, so the are hard to route through the case

Overall Review: I suppose I could separate the wires and sleeve them myself, but it's kind of a hassle. Not enough of a problem to ding an egg, though.

Pros: Drive is very quiet and was relatively quick for a green drive.

Cons: If used in a HTPC as data and OS drive, booting can be very slow, but this is not so much a con since WD said it was not meant to serve as an OS drive. Died unexpectedly, without any warning after 6 months of very light use. Maybe 50 hours total uptime (don't use my HTPC that much anymore). Drive is completely dead, is not recognized by BIOS in any machine I put it in.

Overall Review: Drives die, it's the nature of mechanical things. Overall I've had pretty good success with WD, I think I was just unlucky this time.

Pros: I can play Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition at 100fps! Seriously, though, this card is very quick. I have a GSync enabled monitor that runs at 100Hz and haven't run into a game I own that doesn't stick very close to 100fps. Runs virtually silent, and very cool. No need for SLI/Xfire. 1st time in years I haven't gone that route, and it doesn't need it. Upgrading from 3x GTX 980, and it's faster with a single card in everything I've tried so far. A single card keeps my office much cooler. The AC isn't on all the time anymore.

Cons: Had some coil whine at first, but I can't hear it with the side cover on. It's only barely audible, anyway. It's yuuuuge. Biggest GPU I've ever had.

Overall Review: Too bad Asus is stingy on the warranty re: waterblocks. Never had a card or MB die from putting on a waterblock in 15 years, or so, but still, would be nice if they were a little more flexible with enthusiast cards like this. This thing is begging to be watercooled and OC'd even more.

Pros: -Faster than SATA 6Gb/s -Test read speed averages around 1450MB/s seq, 1100MB/s 512k, 400MB/s 4k

Cons: -Slow boot due to card's internal RAID and BIOS initialization -High $/GB

Overall Review: Disappointed how slow the initialization takes during boot. If you are using sleep mode instead of shutdown, then it doesn't matter much. Seems like it should be reading faster than it is; doesn't feel any faster than a standard SSD. But I suppose numbers don't lie. (although it is only running at 75% of it's rated speed) Dinged an egg because of the high dollar vs performance. Probably would have been better off with an m4 card, and would have saved a PCIe slot.
