Over 3 years and still doing its job.

TRENDnet 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit GREENnet Desktop Metal Switch, Fanless, 16Gbps Switching Capacity, Plug & Play, Network Ethernet Switch, Lifetime Protection, Black, TEG-S80G

Pros: Bought 9/12, and still going strong. Does what it's supposed to, sits in the background invisibly unless you need another device attached to it. No hit on speeds, I'm on gigabit fiber, and speed tests show over 950Mbit up and down passing through this switch.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Does what you'd want it to, just works.

Does the job

Pros: Bought in 9/12, and still going along stable in an ivy i5 system.

Cons: None, other than CAS could have been a bit lower.

Still going 3+ years in ivy i5 system.

SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520 W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520 W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Has been rock solid in the 24/7 usage ivy i5 system it was built for. Bought 9/12

Cons: Not modular, but knew that going in.

Overall Review: Wanted stability for the system that it was going into, and have definitely gotten that, and am still getting it. Was on sale when I got it, so that, along with the SeaSonic name made it a no brainer at the time.

Still showing 100% after being bought in July 2012

ADATA Premier Pro SP900 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASP900S3-128GM-C
ADATA Premier Pro SP900 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASP900S3-128GM-C

Pros: Solid drive, bought July 2012, and has been in 24/7 use since then in multiple systems, and is still showing 100% in SMART stats. Has taken turns as a cache drive initially, then over to OS drive between 3 different systems, still going strong.

Cons: Not the fastest drive on the planet, but does its job extremely well nonetheless.

Overall Review: Definitely worth considering if you are looking at a reliable SSD.
