Pros: I'm getting the rated Max Read/Write speeds when connected to a SATA-III port. Comes with a mounting bracket. No problems so far after one week and two drives installed.

Cons: Included NTI SSD Utility Suite CD is NOT bootable, even though it is labeled as "Bootable". You have to install the NTI Echo program in Windows, and then when you run it, it will reboot and clone your old drive to the SSD. ALSO - This cloning program does NOT align your SSD partition(s) properly. So it's basically worthless if you want to do the job right. Fine for a quick and dirty clone job.

Overall Review: I have several of this drive and of the Crucial M4 128GB SSD's and they are about even in terms of Read/Write performance - the Crucial is a tiny bit faster, but this drive comes with a mounting bracket, which saves me from buying one.

Pros: I bought 2 of these boards; one is working great.

Cons: One of the 2 of these I bought was totally DOA. All other components of that build were tested and work fine in other PC's. I've bought and installed over 50 Mobo's so far this year, with only 4 of them being ASUS boards, and this is the first DOA I've received.

Overall Review: Won't be buying any more ASUS motherboards anytime soon. One of the other two ASUS boards I bought (different model) bricked on a bios update, for no apparent reason whatsoever. I'm afraid to even try to update the bios on the one working copy I have of this board.

Pros: Lasted 2.5 years

Cons: Failed suddenly and without warning after 2.5 years. The other one I own is still working fine.

Overall Review: I've had good luck over-all with SSD's, this is the first SSD failure I've had out of 50+ SSD's in service, of several different brands.

Pros: Worked great for two months, Small, silent, fast enough for our application. Love the tiny form factor.

Cons: Died after two months. Intel support web site was a huge circular navigation pain and a dead end, as it could not identify this product, so the only way to get an RMA was to do the live chat.

Overall Review: This review is for the NUC DC3217IYE w/ Intel i3. Love the small form-factor. Now that we have a new replacement for the failed unit we'll put it back online and see how long it lasts this time. Hopefully the first failure was a fluke and not a design problem.

Pros: Allows you to connect a USB 3.0 header on your motherboard to a USB 2.0 cable inside your PC case.

Cons: Only allows for USB 2.0 speeds on the USB 3.0 Port. I tested my port with a fast SSD and only get read and write speeds up about 41MB/s with this adapter; the same port and SSD do read and writes up to 200 MB/s with a USB 3.0 cable.

Overall Review: Better than nothing if you have an otherwise wasted USB 3.0 port on your motherboard, but don't buy this thinking you will get USB 3.0 speeds on that port.

Pros: ATTO reports read speeds up to 109 MB/s and writes up to 45 MB/s on USB 3.

Cons: No lanyard included. Had to use an old one that was laying around.

Overall Review: I've had this for a few weeks now and it has worked perfectly, so far.
