Pros: Much faster than standard HDDs. About 30 second boots from shutdown, and 5 second boots from sleep.

Cons: No cloning software. Not a huge deal. There are several free options. Just Google it.

Overall Review: No problems so far. Still weary of a drive crash. No idea how you would recover data from SSDs. Just keep a clone on a HDD periodically. The SSD dies, just pop in the HDD.

Pros: The light is bright.

Cons: Several cons, but not enough too bad. 1). The inverter is baby blue. Black should be a default color for something like this. 2). The length of the wires is too short. 3). The Velcro adhesive is horrible. 4). The biggest con however. When you have 2 lights plugged into the inverter, one is noticeably brighter.

Overall Review: I have a red, and a white cathode in my case. I had to use 2 inverters, because the wires are very short. overall, I do like these lights. However, others might prefer LED strips.

Pros: I have 3 of these in my Define R5 case. The case fan controller has 3 settings, low, med, high. On low, and med, you can't hear the fans at all. On high, the fans are audible, but not too loud. I have 2 Radeon HD6970s in the case, and these fans are a fraction of the volume of these cards at 30%.

Cons: No Cons.

Overall Review: I would recommend these fans. They are quite, look great, and have good airflow.

Pros: I used to be one of those people that said," Why would anyone spend more than $50 on a case?". Even while shopping for a new case 2 weeks ago, I was looking at cheap cases. I wanted something with an interesting aesthetic. Then I ran across the NZXT S340. This case was completely different from what I thought I wanted. However, the large window was very appealing to me. I was close to settling on this case, until I watched some videos on You Tube, and saw that this case didn't support an optical drive bay. Then I found the Define R5. This case had a similar aesthetic, and supported an optical drive bay. After watching a few videos on this case, I was hooked. This case can be configured in a variety of ways. The sound deadening material used on the side panels, and front door, really helps to keep the computer quiet.

Cons: Not really a con. Just my personal preference. I would have like to have had a larger window. The window on the NZXT S340 is awesome. It shows that entire inside case. Also, the power led is blue. It would be nice to have a multi color led, to have the option of selecting the color. I have a red and black build.

Overall Review: Overall, I really love this case. With all the ways to configure this case, I can't imagine what another case could offer to cause me to switch.
