Have been loving Crucial SSD's

Pros: Inexpensive SSD for the capacity. It's a pretty speedy drive.
Cons: none really.
Overall Review: This is my 3rd Crucial SSD i've purchased over the years, and i've been happy with all of them. This particular one gave a new lease on life for an older Lenovo Laptop. Once i got the new drive cloned, the laptop screamed to life, and is faster then heck! (compared to what it was). I'm glad i got the 500GB version. I didn't realize that my laptop already had a 250GB drive in it, with the other partitions for various Lenovo backup and recovery tools on it. I have plenty of space left over for a few more years of use.
Failed after a few months

Pros: When it worked it was nice and fast.
Cons: I got two of them on the cheap, i just needed a drive to hold the OS for a computer that only prints shipping labels for my home business. I wanted a fast boot drive for my OS since the computer is only used a couple times a week. The drive the OS sits on died completely after about 6 months.
Overall Review: Well, it was a gamble to buy a Refurb drive, but i figured an SSD would be a safer one.
nice receiver.

Pros: It's a nice looking receiver with quite a nice supply of power for your speakers. All of the speaker posts allow for use of banana plugs. Setup was extremely easy with the auto-setup feature.
Cons: This doesn't come with a manual, you have to search online for the manual, and there are two flavors of the manual! one is a leaflet, and the real manual is even harder to locate online. The quality of the display on the unit and the On-Screen Display is a little clunky, on-par with PONG (if you remember back that far)
Overall Review: This is a fantastic receiver, made even better by the price. The On-Screen Display is embarrassingly outdated, but the features you are selecting are solid. For the price, it's a very nice receiver for someone wanting a 5.2 system.
nice little case

Pros: all aluminum case, nice looking, small. well built.
Cons: The only con i have is the SSD Drives are hard to mount at the bottom. You can't use the 90 degree cables because they bend the wrong way, they will bend down into the base of the case, rather then up away from it.
Overall Review: Mounting the SSD Drives were the only real issue with the case that i had. It has a nice solid feel to it and my wife loves it. I got the case to replace another one i had modified (read: drilled a giant hole into it) to vent a water cooling fan, which the water cooler ended up dying, the replacement also ended up dying. I killed the whole water cooling thing and got this case to put the computer in with a standard CPU cooler. Glad i did, it's a great case for the money.
Little thing works nicely.

Pros: Plug it in and it goes. I had no problems at all getting it working, i got about 60MB/s transfer speed copying files into a SATA3 hard drive.
Cons: The only Con i would have, is that you have to plug it into the wall as well. This makes portability a bit of a drag since you have to get down under the desk to plug it in. I wish these would have the power cord also end in a USB cable so you could plug it in and have it working without needing to locate an empty wall outlet.
Overall Review: A great little device that helps a ton when i have data strung across multiple old and small hard drives that i want to consolidate. The caddy fits the hard drive nicely, and it's heavy enough to feel like it is good quality, and not a cheap pile of plastic.
Worked well for a while, then died.. two of them

Pros: The cooler worked quite well, while it worked. I
Cons: .... but i had two of them die on me after about 6 months each.. I replaced the first one with a new one, and it died about 6 months later too.
Overall Review: The cooler ended up costing me a pretty penny. I bought two of them, and had to kill the Mini-ITX case i had modified so the fan could vent out the top. I ended up getting another case and a standard CPU cooler instead. I like Corsair stuff, but the pumps apparently are going out on these too often for my liking.
