Great Product, But...
Pros: Everything you need, and much more!
Cons: Maybe a bit too much for the casual photographer. The suscription makes it expensive for anybody who cannot claim it in his taxes as a cost, not to mention the fact that you loose everything when you stop it...
Overall Review: I would recommend it to a pro. I would tell the casual photographer to think twice...
Bof....
Pros: Workhorse...
Cons: Ridiculous price for the capacity and the performance. SATA3 or not, it is now the slowest item of your computer, and by far. Correction: it is not a workhorse, it is an ox.
I own 2 of them...
Pros: They do a good cooling job.
Cons: Installation is not a big deal. I did it without a problem on an LG 1150 and an LG 1155 board. That is of course if you can decipher the documentation provided. This fit all piece of ..., I mean paper, does not help at all. It certainly could be improved!!!
Overall Review: READ carefully the stupid piece of paper until you finally understand it. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, you can play with the hardware which is well designed and fits correctly. You may want to get an other PWM fan mounted on the other side to replace the original which will block the first memory slot on some Mobos.
Nice Card
Pros: The weak point is my rig is the CPU, an I7 4790K which gets only a 7.8 rating. The rest is all 7.9... Ran on first boot.
Cons: Who, in his devious mind, conceived that piece of s..., (Oups excuse me! I meant soft) which is provided on a CD. Do yoursel a favor: download the drivers and the trash the disk!The applications are worthless.
Overall Review: The layout is not the best... The SATA ports are difficut to reach especailly with a GTX 760 which requires two connectors fed by 3 PCIe cables. The RAM bank is too close to the CPU. Any decent aftermarket cooler will prevent you from installing a RAM bank in the closest spot. You can solve this by getting a fan pulling on the other side of the cooler and removing the original one. (4 pins, PWM)
Buy it.
Pros: Cheap. Works fine.
Cons: None.
Bof......
Pros: Works...Ok...
Cons: By the time the speech recognition finally understand what the heck you are taking about, you could be a great typist!!!
Overall Review: Learn to type!!!!!!!!!!!!
