Pros: Replaced a mechanical drive with this device. Suddenly, an old desktop rig has new life. Boots incredibly fast, applications launch quickly, and video capture / playback seems smoother. Great investment. Put a similar drive in my wife's laptop, and she loves it.

Cons: Not cheap, but a good value.

Pros: Looked good.

Cons: Didn't work. Tried multiple outlets, multiple power cords. No LEDs, no noise, nothing. Completely DOA, and no damage to the box during shipping.

Overall Review: Was briefly worried that I would have to deal directly with ASUS and a repair center (as New Egg RMA policy seemed to be different for monitors, per the web site). Took the time to call NewEgg directly and was issued an RMA number and postage right away. It was a bummer to have to deal with a DOA item, but NewEgg made it simple to return it. Waiting patiently for the replacement now ....
