Pros: As always, satisfied with Seasonic products. PSU runs quietly (I can't hear it at all if I'm standing a couple feet away), and power on the rails is consistent (when not under load - haven't tested that yet).

Cons: Could've wished for more SATA power adapters instead of the older 4-pin molex. Seems that since IDE hasn't been available on the market for a number of years now, new PSUs wouldn't have them any longer...

Overall Review: I should've noticed the connector count in the pictures, but it didn't cross my mind.

Pros: Small size; I like the ability to take the rubber off and use them for a nondescript component on the back of a motherboard for embedded boot. Good price.

Cons: If you were to put these on a keychain, the rubber boot may pull off if it were to be in your pocket and get dirty. They're relatively easy to pull off. Unreliable. I've got 6 of them; one has already started reporting errors with light use, and one was DOA (nothing I plug it into detects it and the LED does not blink). Transfer speed seems really low on the most recent ones I've bought compared to the ones I bought some months ago; I've yet to verify the binning or anything like that. Part of me suspects a bait/switch

Overall Review: The one that was DOA seems to be of a newer batch with larger, more a discernible 'binning'/serial number on the USB plug (which is on the older ones, just not as readily visible). It's larger print with "110125" and "4GB" on the plug ground/sheathing. This newer bin also seems markedly slow - no noticeable 'good' or 'bad' transfer speeds on the old ones (USB 2.0 flash drive, whatever), but the new ones are painfully slow. Debian 6 install took the better part of an afternoon on a new board...

Pros: The price is good. Since I have not been able to use the memory, however, I can't

Cons: I have now gotten two RMAs for this RAM. Every single DIMM in the first set had significant errors (thousands within a couple of seconds of starting memtest86+). The second package was better, in that it didn't have any for about an hour. However, I do have several hundred memory errors with the second set after running it for about 8 hours. If you don't mind the odd memory problem resulting in stabillity, have a way to effectively avoid memory errors with non-ECC memory (such as a Linux kernel patch), and/or RMA'ing equipment, this is probably a good deal. I will be returning it and getting something else, this time. I'll also be avoiding Corsair memory.

Overall Review: This is in an asus m4a78t-e board, which supports 16GB of DR3 1333 memory. This is the speed at which the memory is operating and the nature of the failure is inconsistent across DIMMs and DIMM-sets, indicating it's the memory and not the board having issues. Some have posted that it doesn't overclock well. I would argue that it doesn't even run 'underclock' well, either - something it should have no problem doing. Having the RAM run cool (which it does not!) was the whole point of getting something faster and running it slower.

Pros: Would make a great 'basic desktop', even for gaming, due to 4 SATA ports, good onboard graphics, and support for 16GB of RAM (supposedly - I only tested with 8).

Cons: Can't get anything 64 bit to run under emulation - under Windows or Linux (Debian and Ubuntu), with Hyper-V and Virtualbox. Instant crashing. Recompiled kernel with Xen support crashes as well. For my purposes at home (home VT test machine + storage) I should've bought the cheapest Atom board (or the Asus, which I know works properly based on what has been told to me by someone who's using it as such). It's a 64 bit processor with 16GB RAM support, and AMD's emulation instructions. There is no excuse for this.

Overall Review: Contacted ASRock support and never heard a word back. Review would've been higher had they actually bothered to respond to my email, but apparently they don't put much effort towards support. RMAing for return and picking up the Asus.

Pros: Surprisingly fast little board. Works like a charm in Debian (so far) for a small file server. Runs incredibly quietly even with the included smaller fan.

Cons: The VGA port is slightly over-sized and the riser it's on not as sturdy as it could be.

Overall Review: It's possible that there's a bit of a USB controller implementation/driver issue (endemic to AMD). I've got a couple AMD boards, a couple Intel boards, and a couple different USB sticks, and the USB sticks seem to "not work well" (if detected at all) on the AMD boards, this one included. Would've liked a PCIe slot instead of PCI and an extra SATA port or two, but this should do for the time being.

Pros: I bought two of these drives for an md raid1 array in April 2009 which have been running 24/7 since. I picked up 2 more recently for antoher array. They're fast and cheap, and I've yet to have any issues.

Cons: The only downside is that they're a BIT loud compared to modern Seagates (or even WDs and Samsungs). My wife commented last night, from the floor above where my server is, "are you tapping?" They make a bit of a clacking sound (like drives of old, or anything enterprise) if you don't turn on the acoustic settings (which does slow them down a bit). Also seem to use a bit more power than the newer Seagate 5900rpm drives, but that's hardly unexpected.

Overall Review: Pretty happy about the $54/ea price the other week.
