Pros: Very fast for a HDD, faster than my first SSD. roughly $50/TB. Heavy, very heavy, even compared to my WD 1TB SE Datacenter drive- Dead Rising should add this drive as a weapon option. At the company I used to work for, we only used WD drives (whichever color was appropriate) to build Office PCs, a few gaming computers and quite a few Component Racks and NAS systems for Office and surveillance use. We had one 6TB Red DOA and no other issues, out of the at least 90 we bought. I'm pretty confident in WD. Mine is whisper quiet... or less. I don't hear it at all. I had my wall off last night and even listened for it while it was transferring @ 150 MB/S, from a WD SE (The SE was slowing down the transfer, it tests at 160ish). Speedfan reads the temp at a steady 73.4 @ idle.

Cons: Not a one.

Overall Review: Most of the poor reviews for these hard drives are probably related to shipping damage. Quite a few of them are also individuals leaving multiple reviews. I only found 2 or 3 reviews with legitimate complaints - I don't consider DOA a legit complaint (except for the guy who says WD told him it was an invalid serial number). DOA is rare, but guaranteed to happen occasionally.

Pros: It was a lot better than my last board and I really like the Power down Sleep mode-"instant boot"

Cons: Instant boot stopped working when I flashed the bios, I had to flash the Bios becuase this board stopped recognizing my PCIx16 Video card, using the Onboard video wasnt an option, cuz its HORRIBLE. Via HD audio deck is worse than the video was. The CD it came with had no Software, customer support was terrible. I could go way beyond the 1000 characters, but why bother.

Overall Review: I replaced this board months ago, I just bought another CPU and more RAM, i was gonna outfit the board to sell it to someone as a mega-budget-PC, just to find out its garbage, The 4-pin CPU fan power plug broke when i removed the Fan months ago. Still under warranty, but i dont want to talk to "Eric Lynn", the one guy who works for asrock. Its going in the garbage, where it belongs.

Pros: Technology is good but WD is selling Magic, buy it! This makes no sense, why I'm calling it magic. Had a very strange screen flash when Running desktop stuff @1440P (Across multiple computers, with different RAM, 2 GPU, 2 CPU, 3 SSD, 2 OS, 3 PSUs, 4 Motherboards, multiple software installations / configurations/overclocking / underclocking, / rollbacks... In my twenty years of working with computers, this is the oddest problem I've ever seen that resolved.

Overall Review: If you're looking at things like 4K speeds, you'll notice this beats a number of NVMe X4 drives, and the random speeds are what actually matters - SSDs were such a HUGE improvement over HDDs not because they had 3X better SEQ speeds, but because they are like 80X faster at random. I put AC Odyssey on it and I keep running the game to 'clock' the load times but I'm actually able to get into the game for the first time ever and never even think about the load times... heat can get up 54°C (In-game) but I'm not sure if my Motherboard's Heatsink is hurting or helping with that.

Pros: Not a lot of heat, I only have one system fan and my GPU takes most of the air but this stays under 70°C with the stock cooler without getting loud. I put it in a $65 MoBo with 2400 Ram and it's handling beautifully with an RX 570. Benchmarks much better than my I5-4690K, and I can really feel the difference in AC Odyssey, and maybe a few fractions of a second gained in general responsiveness but I can't say for sure.

Cons: There was a fleck of something in the thermal compound but it seems like it's working.

Pros: IPS is so much nicer to look at than my older TN panel. 10-bit panel according to my computer, only with DP, HDMI only shows 8-bit (Can't see any obvious difference). Response time is good enough, compared to my 144HZ 1MS TN it really doesn't seem to be performing any worse.

Cons: Speakers are nothing special but if you like sound, use externals - No eggs should be taken for poor audio, speakers on a monitor are a bonus, not required. Vesa is awkward, I don't think I'm gonna try to mount it.

Overall Review: Main reason I'm bothering to write is I had issues with Screen Flashing using an RX 580, seems to be an under voltage issue, used Wattman to raise the lowest power state just a bit and solved the problem. Solved that about a week ago and it's been pretty much perfect. Hope this helps someone.

Pros: Feels nice, a bit of upgrade over my previous pad, my mouse can read the surface well. The rubber bottom keeps it in place Flexible fabric - old one was a semi-rigid board.

Cons: Bit of a hair magnet but I'll survive somehow.

Overall Review: Gaming Mouse Pads are important. I have a friend who games without a mousepad because a Razer Rep told him his mouse doesn't need it.... He's not a gamer, he's a dumb :( Don't be a dumb, buy a mousepad.
