Wait for a sale
Pros: Its worth the purchase every few months when there is a 10% - 11%off sale
Overall Review: na
Detonated on turn on
Pros: n/a
Cons: Power on and immediately blew, PSU popped and saw fire. Can visibly see one of the large capacitors exploded upon turning on the power switch. Not what I was looking for after 6 hours of building the server. RMA'd, pending replacement. Ended up RMA'ing the MoBo and CPU's as a precaution.

No throttling issues
Pros: No temp issues on multiple drive installs on multiple systems. Intel 660p 1tb (Op system drive, gaming drive), Intel 660p 2tb (gaming drive), a needed addon for any NMVe drive.
Cons: Just make sure there is clearance between the drive location and GPU card. Some motherboards have NVMe drives located nect to the PCI lanes for the GPU install. In one of my installs, the GPU is touching the heatsink on the EKWB
Overall Review: Recommended
Works as described for docking station or cloning
Pros: I purchased 2 docking stations (approximately 1 to 2 years ago) for my home server (multiple HDD's and not enough tower space at the time). The docking station was used to pull valuable data off of dead laptops (HDD's were still good), multiple clones created as well (HDD to upgraded SSD) for Win8, Win10, Server2012, and data duplication. I have nothing negative to say about this device
Cons: None
Overall Review: I have not been extremely happy with other SYBA products, but this docking station was a pleasant surprise. Inexpensive, does the job well, can be used for data duplication, retrieval, or a true docking station to add drives.
Shipping issue
Pros: N/A
Cons: Ordered two CPU's for a server build. Shocked they were both shipped in a CPU cradle without being in a static bag. PSU blew immediately on power up. RMA'd the PSU, returned the CPU's. Not sure is the PSU was defective or the CPU's had something to do with it. Purchase new CPU's, spend the extra money to be safe. I am more upset as a consumer that Newegg would ship CPU's like this!
Gave a chance
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Lasted 5 month in Samsung Galaxy s4. Cannot read now.
Overall Review: Replaced with ADATA Premier 32GB microSDHC/SDXC UHS-I U1 Memory Card with One Adapter (AUSDH32GUICL10-RA1), no issues since. Moved to new Galaxy s7 Edge without an issue
