Works Flawlessly. RME HDSP PCI Card Converted to PCIe !!!!!! Awesome
Pros: Was able to convert my RME HDSP PCI Card to a PCIe. Great solution, since the RME PCIe cards are no longer available, and if you can find them, cost hundreds of dollars. I didn't have to update any drivers or anything. It was plug and play.
Cons: No Cons. Worked like a charm. Had to connect Molex power to the unit.
Overall Review: Saved me lots of money, and hastle.
Cheap, thin, like tape.
Pros: Detachable. There is plastic snap, or escape mechanism between the lanyard and the loop.
Cons: kinda thin material. I guess it's strong enough. This could be a "pro" if you are looking for something that won't bulk up your pocket, (or your purse if you're a woman, or nowadays a identify yourself a woman, or if you are a man and are using a "manpurse") I find the lanyard material to be very thin, and it's hard to grab, it's almost like tape.
Overall Review: it took a Loooooooong time to ship. about a month it seems. So if you're not in a hurry,,,,,, go for it.
Way Overpriced
Overall Review: Way Over- Priced
BIOS Locked
Pros: Nice looking, and very solid-feeling. The case feels very solid. Lifting the screen, there is no sense of any flexing whatsoever. Or the Body. This is a very sturdy feeling case.
Cons: Well, the BIOS was locked, and so the computer would not boot. Had to send it back. disappointing. But glad Newegg is going to send us a new one. we're one the east coast, so by the time they get the returned one back and send another...probably wont see the replacement for well over two weeks. I hope the Square Deal warranty transfers... Newegg said it would.
Overall Review: very good specs for the price. presents a good value. .... if and when we do get the product.
Great for a budget SSD. NOT Recommended for SATA2 USE.
Pros: Moved to my SATA III computer for very comparable ATTO scores to my other SSD's.
Cons: Performed EXTREMELY poorly in my SATA 2 computer - 3X slower than my other SSD's in same computer. Moved to my SATA 3 computer and it performed 3X FASTER.
Overall Review: Purchased this WD GREEN 240GB SSD for my SATA 2 computer, thinking a somewhat slower SSD would be a good match for it. It wasn't. It performed horribly, even after upgrading the firmware (which you will probably need to do as well.) My WD Caviar HHD actually performed much better up into the larger file transfers. So I swapped SSD's, installing in my SATA3 computer instead. Performed 3X faster. The Kingston 120GB SSD that I moved from the SATA 3 cpu to the SATA 2 computer actually performed BETTER in my SATA 2 computer than it did in the SATA 3 computer, so I swapped. DO NOT BUY if you have a SATA2 connection.
too short
Pros: right angles. nice
Cons: Yes, i know it is totally unfair of me to blast the ratings over the length, (or lack of length) Do yourself a favor and buy a longer cord, unless you are absolutely certain you don't need longer. All I can say is, 3 feet is shorter than you think. It actually measures 40" still shorter than you think.
Yeah, not an exciting product, but they ARE essential.
Kind of expensive for what they really are, just a piece of metal. That said, they are not cheap or flimsy, the metal feels sturdy. Screws were included. Shipping was free, but expensive for the seller, so yeah, the shipping costs are built into the overall price. One drawback, the screw holes to mount the bracket into into your computer are smaller, (the same size as the screws that the SSD uses. In my situation, my case uses these plastic clips that you put on the sides of the drive and then pusch the whole thing into a slot. problem is, the plastic clips use pins that are sized for HDD. HDD's use larger mounting screws than SSD's do. So the larger pins would not puch into the bracket. So I had to push the pins out of the plastic clips, and find smaller screws that were long enough to reach through the plastic clip and thread into the bracket. Scratching my head why they put the smaller mounting holes on the outside of the bracket. In my mind, it would make sense to put the SSD size screw holes on the inside of the bracket, and the larger HDD holes on the outside. since that's what I bought this mounting bracket FOR. I want to mount an SSD into a HDD slot in my puter.
