Awesome upgrade from my FX-8350 CPU.
Pros: Using this with Linux Mint 19 and it works great. CPU intensive tasks run much much quicker than from my FX-8350 chip.
Cons: None
Took a few to get it right
Pros: Newegg RMA process.
Cons: I had to RMA this drive twice, third time is a charm. First one was failing the SMART test on bootup and second was completely DOA. Newegg made the RMA process quick and simple through these and now the third one is working fine.
Works great and looks nice.
Pros: Have this installed on the MSI B450 Gaming Plus ATX motherboard with a Ryzen 2600X. The motherboard had an XMP profile that set this to 2933, so that is what I chose for easy clocking from the 2400. The color of this I think look great with that motherboard, especially because you do install these in the two Red DIMM slots on the board, which leaves the black DIMM slots open for contrast.
Cons: The price of RAM compared to about a year and a half ago, but that isn't a fault to this specific vendor/product.
Great Product. Works perfect
Pros: Works great with my Ryzen 2600X. I have 16GB of 2933 RAM that the XMP Profile setup easily. Installed Linux Mint 19 from USB and that works perfect.
Cons: Wish there was a little more lighting on the board. All that lights up is GAMING PLUS towards the bottom. I wish there was maybe another lighting element towards the top of the board.
Plenty of room. Everything went together easily.
Pros: No drive tray visible from window, drives in the back. Every part went in easily, no compromising.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I don't plan to water cool my build so I think I should have maybe went with another case. This case seems to have lots of empty space where drive cages usually are because I have nothing there. That is no fault to this case though as I knew that when buying it.
Nice, slim USB DVD Drive
Pros: I was looking at getting rid of my internal dvd drive on my PC and this works perfect for that. I only need to plug into my USB port if I need it, which isn't too often.
Cons: The USB cable that they provide is short. It is fine if you are going to have right there with your PC, but the provided cable doesn't give enough length to maybe put on other side of your desk.
