Pros: I'm using it to dump files from my cell phone and camera, and, compared to transfer rates when I use bluetooth for the one and direct USB connection for the other, this thing is blazing fast. It fits perfectly in my 3.5 slot. And it's is a hermetically sealed, very solidly built metal box, leaving nothing exposed to air or dust.

Cons: Blue LED on front is always on, and this sucker is bright. The LED indicating that a drive is connected is kind of an ugly, like an over-cooked-vegetable green. Memory cards stick out a bit from the receiving ports -- about 3/4 of my CF card projects, which makes me nervous.

Overall Review: The USB cable that connects from the box to the motherboard isn't removable, which I suppose means that it isn't replaceable. I'm not sure whether this is a negative. Included USB port couldn't power an iPod. I haven't had the device for very long, so I can't comment on longevity, but for the moment I'm very pleased.

Pros: It is worth every penny (I bought it here for much less than current price),

Cons: and not one penny more;

Overall Review: after about half a year it is already dying. Save your money and buy something better.

Pros: * These are much, much quieter than I was expecting, and what little sound they produce is less unpleasant and far less distracting than the sound produced by the fans that came with my video card (Asus Strix 2080 ti). And even at full speed basically all I hear is a soft whoosh. I don't hear buzz, whir, or anything electrical. * Four-pin PWM means, apparently, that speed can ramp up and down more rapidly and in smaller increments, which means I can set a gentle fan curve that the fan actually obeys. With the manufacturer's included fans, no matter how I set the fan curve, I never found a way to prevent the "full afterburners: engage"/"3-2-1 takeoff" effect -- where fans would suddenly jump from being off or running slowly to running full blast. * Works perfectly with GPU Tweak

Cons: Compared to other fans I've tried, these have no downside other than price, which I don't consider a downside. $30 stikes me as a very reasonable, decent price for a specialty fan only a dork would buy.

Overall Review: Three of these replaced the fans included with my Asus Strix 2080 ti. I wrapped two on the top of the included heatsink and then slipped one in the gap between the back of my hard drive bay and the end of the video card, blowing air towards the back of my machine in the same direction as the 200 mm fan in front of the hard drive bay of my case (Phanteks Enthoo Pro). Not only GPU temperatures but temperatures in other parts of my system have fallen. My NVMe drives used to idle at 60C. Last I checked they were idling at 40C. Seven fans in my case are now Noctua. Two aren't. I'm replacing them with Noctuas and adding another Noctua intake fan this week.

Pros: * Noise emissions: At idle it's essentially silent, quieter than my speakers' hiss (JBL LSR305). Under load I barely notice it -- audible but never distracting or annoying. * Thermals: Temperatures are lower than with the aio liquid cooler I was using previously. * Installation: a breeze. * Fit: No issues. These are first impressions. I'll update this review as I get to know the cooler a bit better.

Cons: I can't think of any.

Overall Review: CPU: i7 4790k. Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro (whose case fans, it turns out, are almost completely silent). The Noctua NH-D15 replaces my Corsair H105 AIO liquid cooler. How I wound up buying the NH-D15 should be an object lesson for anyone considering buying an AIO liquid cooler (tl;dr: don't buy AIO liquid coolers): I tolerated the H105's annoying, buzzy, loud stock fans for almost two years, couldn't take it any more, and finally decided last week to replace them with two Noctua NF-F12's. Those solved the fan problem but revealed another, because now I could hear how loud and annoying the water-cooler itself was, how it buzzed and hummed constantly when the computer was on, and how it was far and away the loudest component in my system when the machine was at idle -- probably accounting for much of what I thought was fan noise. Again, I couldn't take it anymore, so I started looking around online for a better, quieter AIO liquid cooler. The NH-D15 appeared alongside AIO coolers in just about every chart/benchmark I ran across, and in all of this it was quieter performed at least as well. So I took the plunge.I gave up on cheap liquid cooling. I'm glad I did. For people who don't p*mp their machines, high-quality air cooling is hands down better than AIO liquid cooling, not just for performance or noise emissions but for reliability. Fewer moving parts means lower risk of failure, and when your CPU cooler contains liquid, failure could easily mean the death of your system. Don't get sucked in by the hype the way I was. Don't think for a minute that liquid cooling is quieter or better than air cooling, because it isn't. Just get the NH-D15.

Pros: Almost no part of the device falls short. Nothing about it feels cheap. It doesn't flex or bend when squeezed or stressed. The ports feel strong and durable; cables plugged in don't wiggle at all. It just looks, feels and works like a well-made device. And, you know, it works.

Cons: The feet on the bottom are magnetics for filth.

Overall Review: Hoo Too asked me to write a review. That's a little weird, even questionable, but the device is pretty excellent, so I don't mind doing it.

Pros: This is only to correct Drunesta: if the Vertex 2 is rated 7.1 in WEI, it's incorrectly configured.

Cons: None for my purposes
