Most Critical Review

Nuts

OCZ Diesel 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model OCZUSBDSL4G
OCZ Diesel 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model OCZUSBDSL4G

Pros: Can't say. Apparently mine has a defect.

Cons: Have to admit, about 1/3 products I order have a problem: but that's electronics for ya.

Overall Review: OCZ was nice enough to comment on my last review and offer help. It's one of those....."Do I want to spend the money for shipping to get another one", things? No kidding, why do we have to pay for shipping, whether it's 12 bucks or 1200 bucks for a defective product?

Nothing short of great.

Pros: I had the AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W pushed to 5.1 No problem, until I bent the pins on the CPU.

Cons: On a NZXT has a place for a side 200mm fan. The door really didn't have room enough to close so moved it to the top.

Overall Review: I read it out performed many low end liquid coolers. It keep that 125 W cool just fine. The new model has 1 fan compared to the 2 fans on the NH-D14 so it might make a difference.

no show-if you are a slow worker your out of luck.

Pros: it's small

Cons: Didm't work, you have 30 days to find out or you eat it.

Overall Review: tried different cables, different ports, nothing. WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB PC SSD worked fine.

Bad news. Poor quality , one didn't work and the door fell off the other.
