Does it's thing
Pros: Works as intended.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Used it to bridge x2 XFX HD-577X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770, Very good stuff. I noticed a lot of people complaining about the price which is pretty justified at ten dollars if you ask me. It's a specialized connector that not a lot of people use. I work electroplating the pins for connectors. The only reason these might not be manufactured at a loss is that they require the purchase of a second video card, which doesn't necessarily reimburse those who have the cable manufactured. There is a good chance the time to make the bridge take time away from more profitable connectors as well. Seriously though. If you just bought two video cards, I don't think a this cable is gonna break you.
Mobile Powerhouse.
Pros: Very fast and reliable. Very good cooling. > NUMBERPAD < The power supply seconds as a deadly weapon with at least five feet of reach should you need to protect yourself.
Cons: Bloatware, Bloatware, and Bloatware.
Overall Review: This is a great laptop. I can't really consider the battery life, weight, and size belonging in the list of cons since the computer is what it is, and it eats babies. Just make sure you are buying a large enough laptop bag before you buy one. I hate bloatware, I really, really hate bloatware. There is bloatware. If you hate bloatware as much as I do, you will be compelled to do a clean install before you do anything else with the machine. It seems all laptop manufactures do this, but I'm killing an egg for it anyway on an otherwise awesome laptop. Because I hate it so much.
Works as intended.
Pros: Very fast.
Cons: None apparent.
Overall Review: Put this set in a ASUS Rampage Extreme (The original) with a quad core processor. I have been very impressed with how stable the system has been. I set them for the default setting as after my last batch of upgrades, as I have had no need to OC whatsoever.
Working as Intended.
Pros: Works as Intended.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I upgraded from a dual core so most of the difference I've noticed is naturally from software that is written to take advantage of Quads. Photoshop on a SSD is crazy fast with this and 16GBs of fast RAM on win7. Encoding speeds for video are very fast.
x2 in CrossFire
Pros: Good speed and reliability for the price. Put two of these in Crossfire with no difficulty.
Cons: None that I am aware of.
Overall Review: At first I was a bit apprehensive about going back to ATI graphics. The last time I owned a few was back in the day when I felt their driver support was deplorable, but it appears they have gotten their act together and I couldn't be happier with the setup I have now. I haven't tryid to do any OCing or tweaking on them, mostly because I havn't had to. I run three EvE Online clients at Max settings on a dual screen setup with very little slowdown.
Excellent Boot Drive
Pros: Fast boot up times and application response. No installation issues.
Cons: Tech knowledge is helpful for installation and setup. There are a few things that should be done when using an SSD and double checked to preserves SSD performance and lifespan.
Overall Review: There are a lot of conflicting opinions and information out there. This isn't really a fault of the drive itself, but I concider it important to do your research in advance if your not familiar with installing an SSD. This drive is great, and does exactly what it is supposed to do. Just don't expect it to replace more RAM.
