Pros: It works fine. Easy to install and half pint. The operation is quiet. Performance is good enough for video editing and copy. Work with Linux and Windows.

Cons: Open/Close button is round.

Overall Review: CPU usage will be satisfactory.

Pros: It's a SSD, SM2256. Works fine if boots up in Laptop. Designed for Laptop only.

Cons: SM2256 technology which just came out. BIOS and/or OS having trouble reading/loading to file or disk management using Desktop PC. I had to play with because I sold to a third party. I'm glad I did. Installed on a Dell Laptop with no problem. In the Desktop PC build the SSD took me for a loop. Not designed for a Desktop as main drive.

Overall Review: Company need to test SSD before marketing. This was my fist time purchasing a Mushkin product; well, require a lot of improvement. No way possible with today's technology a OS shouldn't read a SSD. My advice is to test SSD via USB, BIOS and OS to ensure compatibility. The SM2256 is a high-performance SATA 6Gb/s SSD controller ideally suited for client SSDs targeting HDD replacement, ultrabooks and tablets. The SM2256 is a complete merchant ASIC/firmware solution supporting 1x/1y/1z nm triple-level cell (TLC) NAND and extensible to 3D NAND from all major NAND suppliers. Leveraging Silicon Motion’s proprietary NANDXtend™ error-correcting code (ECC) technology, the SM2256 provides a comprehensive data protection and enhances the endurance and retention of TLC NAND, delivering more than three times better durability for TLC SSD. Mushkin should label "not for desktop use" so people would know.

Pros: It is small with plenty of room to work with. The design is nice. Made for the 2.5 drives. The installation of the drives are far away from the motherboard. Great to save space on desk. Since I use a SSD and Laptop HDD, perfect for my build. Air circulation is wonderful. Installed all the hardware. This is a small form factor case all the way. Only used 2.5 hard drive installing three (3). A slight modification to use the Cooler Master Hyper D92. Installing a single hard drive is wonderful because you wouldn't need the HDD caddy plate.

Cons: Only wish it had two (2) 5.25 bays.

Overall Review: Happy is the day.

Pros: Everything you expect in a mobo and more. It is expandable if necessary. Smooth operation from Asus. A simple build for social media and entertainment. I am satisfied for the purpose this board will serve.

Cons: BIOS take an experienced builder. CPU fan setup.

Overall Review: Asus would have setup screws for the CPU would have been nice. AMD had sent a four pin fan instead of three. Motherboard have four pin header for chasis and fan; but, a three pin fan will work.

Pros: Works great with motherboards. Crucial, Samsung and Hynix works great together. Made by the Chinese which works in several motherboards. Never had a problem with Crucial Memory either Laptop or Desktop.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is a great price.

Pros: Everything works fine. Solid as a rock. USB Motherboard all the way. Happy. I am using Win 7 Ultimate and Ubuntu 14.04. Things went well. Memory is past 8GB. Runs like a champ.

Cons: Use Newegg memory finder to make sure the memory is correct. Very selective, computer will not boot or boot to bios then don't boot to operating system.

Overall Review: Basic use and research this is not a bad mobo. I am using all Samsung memory.
