Pros: 4 sata ports was a plus. Just as another pointed out, most of these tend to have 2 ports (1 for OS, 1 for optical, none for storage drive). Very zippy, no issues with the HDMI. Onboard video is quite capable. Very low power draw for how responsive it is in both windows and linux OSes. Need an itx board that doesn't overkill with a massive cpu? This is it!

Cons: It is a little louder (only noticeable at first) than my last one but the temps are significantly lower as well. I really wish it had a 2nd PCIE slot for a wifi card (better range than USB for my application) + a discrete video card.

Overall Review: Overall I would definitely recommend this board to others. My last ITX board had an issue where the HDMI sometimes didn't work and required multiple reboots. This killed an SSD I was hoping to get a few more years of use out of. The prior motherboard also didn't have *any* BIOS updates (seriously). I have experienced no problems whatsoever with this one, it booted right up and has been a pleasure to use. Drivers are great in Windows. I tested it with two linux distros as well and no issues (Linux Mint 18.2, a somewhat modernized retro variant of Puppy Linux and Devuan).

Pros: none

Cons: The AGP versions didnt seem to match the PCIE in my experience

Overall Review: many of the agp have been doa

Pros: I have a few of these in production for some NAS systems and no issues so far. Optimal speeds.

Cons: None so far, they seem to be doing what they need to do and my data remains with integrity.

Overall Review: used in 2 BSD based NAS systems, no issues so far and will probably opt for these again if I built a 3rd

Pros: Initially I used two of these mirrored for a NAS 11 setup and I must say the difference between these and the ones I was using before was like night and day. I was sold within days of putting these in a live environment. Now they have been in production for nearly a year and still going strong.

Cons: A little over-packed for retail (not frustration free packaging, hard to find gripes with this product itself though.

Overall Review: I would recommend these from my experience. Please bear in mind that I don't know how sturdy they are under more traditional use (e.g., a thumb drive used as a daily driver in linty pockets, or on a keychain and traveling with the user all over). Overall feels very well constructed...does not have that "dime-a-dozen cheapo usb drive" feel. Reminds me aesthetically of the UFO in 'Flight of the Navigator', I feel like Max is about to do the Pee Wee Herman laugh at any moment when I am glancing at these drives. Very happy with these. I have another I use to shuffle data between computers at work and no issues with it as well (I have about 5 of these total in production).

Pros: It does keep my system noticeably cooler than without. Still running strong. Quieter than my last cooling pad. I will go more into detail on my experimental methods in the other section.

Cons: My last cooling pad had two tabs towards the front of the pad to keep the laptop a bit more securely in place and I do miss those. That was the only thing that cost this product an egg.

Overall Review: I use this with my daily driver laptop (used for school and university work). MSI laptop with Core i7 and discrete nvidia 770m for cuda when rendering HD video in Vegas has been kept cool thus far and the design really seems to shine. Aside from video and media editing, I do other rather computing intensive functions on this laptop and I am pleasantly surprised by the cooling power of this cooler. I've even compared some render jobs with and without the pad and concluded that the cooler really helps with that task. Essentially the cooling pad has a metal heatsink and seems to effectively push air (I have tested temperature in a few Windows variants (7, 8, 10) and several linux distros as well (arch, *buntu derivatives, Devuan etc) with consistent results. I also tested the cooling pad with a few other uses (on a dedicated server and some fanless/smaller computers) and noted cooler temperatures as well. This cooling pad is one of the more effective that I have used.

Pros: Did exactly what I needed the enclosure to do: enclose a Blu Ray sata drive while making it accessible through usb 3.0. No coasters thus far.

Cons: I was a bit concerned when putting it together, it seems the sata and power portion internally are just held together with glue (and was flexing a bit). I am hoping it holds out in the long run

Overall Review: Because of blu ray capacities and speeds, I figured usb 3.0 was the way to go, I am mostly concerned with the longevity of the product
