Pros: First off, I hate it when people review things not regarding the price. Don't give it a one egg review since it is a cheaper product than your $200 lan party case. Be fair to the price in your review. That being said, I am reviewing according to the price as advertised, rather than what I paid on sale. I have purchased 5 or 6 Rosewill cases over the past 6 years or so and I can say that they impress me with value for their price range. They seem to dominate the quality in the $40-$60 price range, Antec and Coolermaster in the $60-$150 (if you want steel), and Lian Li for super quality aluminium cases. Being fair, they are cheaply built, but come with a lot of extra features that you don't expect for the price. The location of the power button is a plus...unless you want to add a DVD drive. See cons for more details. It has risers (standoffs) that you have to screw in (I don't like the built-in punch-outs) Have a 3/16" driver ready for them and DON'T overtighten them since the steel is thin. If you know what you're doing, you shouldn't have any problems by stripping them out, but be careful since you only strip a thread once and you're done.On the other side, don't undertighten them either (i.e. only finger tighten) since when you go to unscrew the mobo, you will only unscrew the risers from the case instead. It comes with enough hardware for your whole build in you fill every slot and screw in everything with the max number of screws (4-per dvd/hard drive) Two hard drive slots, three if you use your 3.5" external as an internal, and one on the bottom if you'd like to put one there, especially useful for 2.5" laptop hard drives or SSDs. comes with two fans! at this price range, that is unnecessary and unexpected. The front fan is a 120mm, but the rear is 80, even though they have drilled holes for 90mm as well. I'd like to see 90 for the added airflow since they went through the trouble drilling holes for it.

Cons: Here's my biggest gripe. front panel cables are long enough, but are designed for terrible cable management. The case has some holes for better routed cables coming down the front (rather than through what would have been the top 5.25" external bay), before entering the case, but this only works if you don't use a disc drive. The best I could do is route them behind the MoBo on the right side of the case and then back into the main area before being plugged in. This didn't work for the front audio since the cable is too short, I needed to run that one right across the motherboard and just around the processor heatsink. The side panel doesn't have screw holes for fans. If you want to add some to cool your graphics card or processor better, be prepared to drill. SHARP SHARP SHARP. They roll some steel, fine, but where they drill holes, the back side of the hole burred so badly ended up cutting myself, though I blame my dry skin more than the sharp edge. It is as if they were saving some money by not changing tools when they should have or quality control to check through the edges before shipping. There are little holes under the hard drive rack, those were the sharpest, even though they were unnecessary to begin with. Power supply rack in not super sturdy. Don't put a 1000 watt PSU on it and you'll be fine. Also consider that this is a mini micro-ATX case and the dvd drive doesn't have a lot of room behind it if you go with a deeper PSU rather than a standard nearly square one. Watch out what order you install everything in. If you like to put your processor and heatsink on before mounting your MoBo to your case like I do, then put the hard drive(s) in first unless you're going with a 2.5" SSD mounting to the bottom of the case. for the same reason, don't buy RAM with tall heatspreaders, they will get in the way of your hard drive(s). No USB 3.0, but I didn't need that since I put old hardware in it. The front panel is attached to the front USB, audio, and power/reset buttons. This is a con since when you take the front panel off (to add a dvd drive or to clean the front fan), it is tethered to the motherboard. Expect it on any case at this price, but nevertheless it is an annoyance if you take the front off a lot. That brings me to another point, be careful when removing the front panel as to not break the plastic. It hasn't been an issue for the user. Who honestly opens up his own case? Mostly he'll call me up and pay me a few dollars for a good cleaning once a year. I'd expect none of these cons if I were paying $100. That being said, I can't deduct more than one egg for all of them since this is not, nor never was intended to be a $100 case. Being fair, it is a very basic and solid case for the price, I am just letting you know of the potential issues before you purchase.

Overall Review: A good alternitive to this case is Rosewill's RANGER M with dual fans as well (if you like blue glowing fans). I have a review on that case too and I was a little more impressed with Rosewill's quality there. This is the cheapest case I have ever purchased due to what I paid on sale. For full price I may have gone with a different model. Rosewill's got some good stuff out there, just look around. I still see this case as an incredible value, I was just a little upset at the sharp edges that I've come to not expect from them at any price. I haven't tried using the USB and the front audio at the same time and can't say if they share a ground or not. Many cases at this price do and you get an electrical whine in your ear when using both. I got this case to put some spare hardware a buddy of mine gave to me when I upgraded his computer from the one I build in 2009 for him to a new system. I needed something cheap in order to make any money off of it and this fit the bill. If you like my review, I like to see when it was helpful to you since I rely so heavily upon product reviews before I make purchases too! ;)

Pros: supports a lot of types of memory and can transfer in between them without putting something on the hard drive.

Cons: SD card didn't fit into the slot the first time I tried it. It was such a tight fit that it was sliding the lock switch. The screw holes were off from my case. I had it up as far as it would go and it still has a small gap. The red light is on all of the time to show power, but the green one only comes on when I put in a card to show that it is reading the card. When I go to open up the files, there is nothing. I can't get it to read SD. The SD card had to be jammed into the slot in the first place. After a while, it went in more easily. I also wish that it would go in a bit farther, it sticks out and if I were to bump it with my foot, I could break the SD card right off of the computer.

Overall Review: I don't know about you, but I'm going to upgrade to a higher quality card reader. I've wasted my money. I'm not sure if it is even worth shipping back. I've had it in my PC for a few weeks already and haven't needed to use it. It was more for convenience than for necessity.

Pros: Cheap. Fast. Also, cheap.

Cons: Slower write speeds. Unknown longevity. Older mSATA form factor seems replaced with M.2 across the entire industry. mSATA still uses the SATA bus (so does M.2 unless it is a NVMe drive) so it is limited by the speed SATA can go. I also was using an external enclosure which uses USB 3.0 which should prove to go 5GB/s and SATA's limit is 6GB/s, so my read speeds might be limited by the interface, but my write speeds were no where close to the interface speed.

Overall Review: I had an external MSATA enclosure I keep for client MSATA repairs but I haven't used it in a while since all of my client's laptops seem to have M.2 now. I thought I'd repurpose it by populating it and using it for a cheap and fast flash drive for loading operating systems for re-installation reasons. I decided to transfer some large high res videos to it and it ran at 250MB/s and installed AS SSD Benchmark and ended up showing 432MB/s read and 272MB/s write (consistent over several tests with different file sizes). I wish the write matched the read speeds, but it will be fine especially since I'm using it to install operating systems. During my benchmarking it got warm, but not hot and kept its speeds up throughout the process. Overall, I'm happy.

Pros: -Aluminium casing. One solid piece with two plastic caps on the ends. Green LED is not blinding in the dark, yet is noticable in bright light. -Cost. -USB mini is a stronger port than a micro one. I'm glad these drives still come with mini and recognize mini as some sort of standard. I have also owned and enjoyed drives with a USB-A female port which is extra rugged, but is a little harder to find replacement cables. -The cable it comes with is long enough for most of what I need to do and comes with the extra usb cable for power when needed. I zip tie mine back when I do not need it and it looks pretty nice. I have owned several Vantec enclosures now and they all seem to be quality once they're together. Don't take them apart on a daily basis and you'll be fine. If you do decide to take it apart daily, you will strip the screws.

Cons: -Size. I also own a NExtar 6g which is 1/3 inch shorter due to a smaller board. -I like the blue LED of the 6g better in color, but that one is far too bright whereas this one is good on brightness. -The pleather sleve it comes with is junk...but meh. -The screwdriver it comes with is also junk, but a nice little add-on at any rate. -The screws to screw it in are not that high quality either and are easy to strip. Take your time and apply enough pressure and you will be fine (you will be better off with your own screwdriver if you have one) -USB2.0 (but you wont get 3.0 at this price range) -This case picks up fingerprints whereas my 6g is brushed and hides them. While I'm nitpicking to find cons, the ends could be aluminium too rather than plastic.

Overall Review: For the price, this little enclosure is excellent. I hate it when people review products without taking the price into consideration. The enclosure is a no-frills aluminium USB 2.0 enclosure. That's what you paid for, that's what you get. If you are looking for super cheap and cosmetically pleasing long-term you may want to pick a plastic case. If you need something to protect your drive at the cost of getting scratched perhaps this aluminium one is right for you. Note: the enclosure is designed to fit up to 12mm tall drives. so when you put a 7 or 9.5 mm drive in it and it rattles around a little, that is because no enclosure can be perfect to size when there are three different standard sizes on the market. All you have to do is take a piece of the cardboard box the enclosure shipped in and slide it on top of the drive when you insert it into the enclosure.

Pros: Just got it and benchmarked sequencial (it on 3.0 and on 2.0. USB 3.0 speeds averaged at 80MB/s read and 20MB/s write USB 2.0 speeds averaged at 25MB/s read and 8MB/s write all tests were done on linux with a sample size of 10MiB and 100 samples Kept up to its advertised specs pretty well. Just make sure you have it on a 3.0 port with 3.0 drivers, windows people. The rear of the drive has a spot for a lanyard or a spot to put the cap.

Cons: Speeds were a little inconsistent compared to most of my USB2.0 drives. This is honestly my first 3.0, so I can't rate it to any others. Mostly the cons are the cheap plastic enclosure and a cap that is easy to lose. It also appears like it may wear out quickly and lose its grip to the drive.

Overall Review: We know that HP didn't make it. No idea who they bought it from, but it seems pretty fast. Most drives that give the speed (and perform at rated speeds) are from the big ram brands. This random branded little drive actually performs pretty quickly. My use as an IT pro has me put and load operating systems off of it. Speed was more of a concern for me (mostly read) than size. I nearly went for my tride and true brand for the same price with 16gigs. Thought I'd give this a try. Time will tell.

Pros: Cool Quiet Quick I use this for an HTPC with light linux gaming. It maxes out X3 at 720p (which is no real feat) and plays 720P video on silverlight and flash. Also plays DVD's with a good tear-free quality. If I wanted to support Sony and buy Blu-Ray, I believe this card would play it without a hitch. HDMI audio works fine.

Cons: AMD linux drivers. They really need to work on them. Every few times I boot it comes up all fuzzy which is corrected by changing the resolution and changing it back. I have tried every driver package currently available with no luck. MSI Afterburner not available for linux. DVI is DVI-D only. This means that it only puts out a digital signal. Many of these cards come with a DVI-I which has pins for digital and analog. Do not purchase and try to use a DVI-A/DVI-I to VGA adapter for a dual VGA set-up. The adapter will not fit.

Overall Review: I only use the HDMI, so I can't comment on the signal quality of the DVI or VGA connections. Using Xubuntu.
