Pros: Using this board, a pentium E6600 and 6 gigs of ram to power a freebsd file server using zfs across 4 drives. The system has been rock solid since I brought it online. Very pleased with the turnout for the little money I spent on the hardware.

Cons: I originally intended to use the storage matrix raid but the performance is terrible. I tried several raid configurations and was displeased with the write performance for all instances. On server 2008R2 with the intel matrix raid drivers (that come with the storage manager) installed the disk writes would drop to around 2MB/s. I also had issues keeping write caching enabled despite the fact the system was running on a UPS. Even after the drives initialized, the performance was terrible. I ended up dumping the matrix raid/windows idea and going with FreeBSD and ZFS which is delivering sustained write speeds between 55MB/s - 70MB/s with large files on a RAIDZ configuration. Fault tolerant (tested) and faster than my network... works for me.

Pros: Fast

Cons: I installed this drive in a late '11 mac book pro 8,2 running 10.8.1. I've had repeated problems with disk corruption since I switched to this drive.

Overall Review: I've had great luck with Hitachi drives in the past so in my experience the problems I'm having now are the exception and definitely not the rule. This drive seems to be defective as I've never had problems with disk corruption in this laptop until I upgraded to this hard drive a month ago. Maybe it's a firmware issue, maybe the drive is defective, don't know. It hasn't shown signs of mechanical failure, the drive is very quiet. The only problem I'm having is repeated file system corruption which is a big enough deal that I'm going to be replacing the drive with a tried and tested spare.

Pros: This is a nice monitor stand, hands down one of the best I've used personally. I've got two 1080p monitors mounted on it, perfectly level, raised with room to raise them even more. The brackets fit fine in Dell's recessed location where the vesa mounts live. It's very heavy duty and very well built.

Cons: I watched a video that had a tool for adjusting the swivels, mine doesn't have that. Looked easier than the three screws for tightening the ball joints on the model I have. Not a big deal, not enough to dock a star.

Overall Review: I balked at the price at first and tried a cheaper stand from Rosewill through another vendor which I ended up having to return because one of the monitors sat almost 2/3's of an inch lower than the other, some kind of defect I couldn't pin point. Wish I would have just bought this one from the start, great stand.

Pros: It's not the fastest as can be seen in plenty of other reviews. It's not terribly slow either considering I paid $85 for it. I've owned faster (Intel 520) but I'm not disappointed. Installed in a Mid 2012 13" MBP. 212 MB/s writes and 463 MB/s reads in OS X 10.10.1 using BlackMagic. Swapped drives and restored from time machine backup, haven't done any kind of tweaking so those are out of the box speeds.

Cons: None, I docked an egg just because the advertised performance isn't the same as what you get. That doesn't mean it's unacceptable performance, just that Kingston should put what you're getting on the tin, not some hyped inaccurate specs.

Overall Review: I'd recommend this SSD for sub-$100 and 240GB, it's really not bad performance wise. We shall see how well it holds up.

Pros: Don't play games much, but the few I do play are maxed out now. To put things into perspective, I had a readeon 3650HD 256MB before and it would not hold a candle to this video card. This is an excellent buy for the price.

Cons: Nothing other reviewers and or the specifications didn't tell me.

Pros: This is a great monitor, love the 1680x1050 resolution. Colors are good, pretty bright monitor. For the price I'd say you can't go wrong with this monitor. So far I'm completely satisfied with my purchase.

Cons: None
