Pros: Very compact, built solid, USB retractable cable is wonderful, and burns very fast.

Cons: CD tray - see below

Overall Review: I've had this wonderful little burner to accompany my new Alienware laptop for about a week now and have burned tons of CDs and DVDs with it already. The retractable cable is very nice! you dont have to worry about lugging another cable along, unless you have an underpowered USB port. The only thing worth noting about this drive is that when you go to press the CD drive in, it sometimes catches on the sides and top. As long as you dont sit anything on top of it and push the drive straight in, you'll be fine. Overall, it's a great burner and I would definitely buy another!

Pros: None that I could benefit from.

Cons: I got this to fix my PS3 with, and the tube was only good for ONE APPLICATION to both CPU's in it. I had to take it apart again because it didn't work the first time, and there wasn't enough left to do it. The big tube it comes in is extremely misleading. Don't be fooled! Went with Arctic Silver this time.

Pros: I've had this drive about 8 months now, installed it new into my then-new Lenovo X220. It is lightning fast and makes for a fantastic system drive that I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate edition on. Many applications including Office 2010 load almost instantly. Highly recommended. Extremely stable and I haven't had a single crash that was related to this drive. It is a great compliment to the included 320GB Seagate standard HD that I use for storage. The system will shut that drive down when it is not in use, resulting in complete system silence.

Cons: None that I can think of! Price, perhaps?

Overall Review: As common with Windows, you don't want to do too many sleep cycles between reboots, or funny things will start to happen and crash. For the most part, I can get a good 10 cycles (sleep-wake-sleep-wake, etc) before I need to reboot. When the computer wakes from sleep, it does so almost instantly.

Pros: This is a good little box for setting up a homebuilt router. Dual gigabit NICs are a great feature although that speed won't be needed for most internet connections. I got this to install Untangle home router software and it runs great and I've had zero crashes or downtime since it runs 24/7.

Cons: The CPU fan is a little noisier than I had hoped and it does run a bit warm. Also, and this seems to be common with most computer cases..the power LED is obnoxiously bright. A little electrical tape over the button fixed that.

Overall Review: I put 2GB RAM in this box. The Untangle software typically uses about ~700mb at any given time, under a small load.

Pros: I got one of these to replace the original 40GB hard drive in my 5 year old "fat" PlayStation 3. Performance increase is definitely noticeable between menu loading and selections, load times in games such as GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption are so much smoother. Explosions are more realistic and not laggy at all during multiple explosions. Highly recommend!!

Cons: Still a bit pricey for only a 64 gig drive, but you're also paying for Intel's reputation

Overall Review: If you're going to put this in your PS3, the backup / restore process of the hard drive swap is pretty convulated, but simple once you have the process down. I plan on posting a tutorial on my tech blog at deshongnet.com for those interested in the process.

Pros: Easy installation, fits perfectly into a SFF Dell Optiplex 760. I have two of these, one of which I use at work for dual monitors and the other is for my media PC which is rigged to a 55" 1080p TV, and the card MUCH outperforms what you would expect for the price. HD video, and Winamp visualizations are top notch.

Cons: Driver software can be iffy, which seems to be the case with most graphics cards I purchase.

Overall Review: I am buying another one of these for my other media PC in my other living room. Don't forget to grab an HDMI Cable with them!
