Pros: I got it working on Windows 7, Mac OS Leopard, and Mac OS Snow Leopard without administrative privileges. This is nice as many encryption technologies require admin privileges. I also got it working on Windows XP Pro, but I needed admin privileges to do so. And yes!--This is Mac OS Leopard and Snow Leopard compatible! Hardware encryption enforces a strong password. A PDF user's manual is included on the drive. I bought it to keep my personal projects private in case I accidentally lose the drive, and it seems this drive will do just that!

Cons: This is not one of those "just plug it in and it works" type of flash drive. Security and convenience are diametrically opposed, and this drive is built around security. As such, it will not work on every computer configuration. It may conflict with other hard drive encryption (not always but it can happen). This product is not very difficult to figure out, but it is certainly not for the computing novice!

Overall Review: This drive isn't perfect, but it is a possible alternative when you want to keep portable files private, but the workstations (PC or Mac!) you use at school or work do not allow you administrative privileges. This is really good because most low cost security and encryption technologies require admin rights to work correctly. Of great importance is to understand that two consecutive free drive assignments must be available between hardware devices and network shares. The drive letter assignment note is specific to Windows as Macs do not identify drives with letter assignments, but Macs will still show two drives attached and mounted. Anyways, one "drive" is a read-only partition that contains the software to unlock the data with a correct password and the other "drive" is the actual data partition.

Pros: The LED lighting is decorative -- for those who enjoy such things.

Cons: Subpar sound quality for a 2.1 set of speakers. Inconveniently placed controls -- volume control is on the front of the subwoofer, and power switch is on the back of the subwoofer.

Overall Review: I'm no audiophile -- meaning I'm not looking for anything really fancy (I'll pass on $500 Bose). However, I still believe that a speaker's number one priority should be sound quality. But these speakers have that backwards, being more impressive with its LED decoration than its audio. In my personal experience, Cyber Acoustics makes a better sounding 2.1 speaker set than this, and for less cost. I wouldn't be surprised if the same held true for other brands. 2 eggs -- because these are very subpar speakers at the current MSRP for what speakers are supposed to do: play sound.

Pros: Good layout

Cons: Ports do not work all that well. Plug something/anything in and it may drop connectivity.

Overall Review: Do not buy. Simple as that.

Pros: - No problems with install and setup. - Flashed BIOS without trouble (do follow the instructions to rename the file, first). - Working stable at stock speeds with Ryzen 9 7900X and 32GB of OLOy DDR-5200 RGB RAM. - Four NVME slots (1x PCIe5, 2x PCIe4, 1x PCIe3). - Audio software doesn't include Nahimic. Instead, you get DTS, but...

Cons: - For those who care about such things -- DTS audio EQ software is limited at 5 bands. But it can be turned off without fuss for those who have alternatives. - Somewhat limited for reusing older HDDs/SDDs. That is, the PCIe3 NVME slot is reduced to 2x when either SATA #1 or #2 ports are enabled. There are 4 SATA ports total. - First few boots will have an *extended* length of time with a black screen. My educated guess is that the system is doing a POST test for RAM before initializing video. Bootup time did improve after a BIOS update and installing Windows 10 Pro.

Overall Review: - I do not overclock, so I cannot comment on that. FWIW, the BIOS does permit you to store several settings profiles. - I bought my board in Dec 2022. It shipped with BIOS v0613, and recognized OLOy memory part# ND5U1652361BRKDE just fine. - UPDATE: After 14 months, this is still working just fine. FWIW, I do not overclock (and set Core Performance Boost to off), and I use a budget level 240mm CPU liquid cooler. - UPDATE: Armory Crate Software is helpful in managing LEDs and being lazy when managing onboard device drivers. But it also wastes your PC resources as another useless gaming manager that nobody needs.

Pros: + Good physical construction. + Mostly easy to install. One caveat listed in cons. + Nice LED aesthetics, if you're into that sort of thing. + Audio EQ software ("Nahimic") does produce really nice audio, BUT...

Cons: - CPU power port is placed very close to some plastic covers, which can interfere with plugging in the power cord. Certainly not impossible, but I found it tricky. - Backplate ports are not industry-standard color coded. Most ports are red. (e.g. instead of blue for USB 3 or light green for analog front speakers). It's not hard to figure out what is what, but someone who is red colorblind may need to keep the manual handy. - Audio control panel and Nahimic EQ software for Windows 10 version 1709 (and later) cannot be directly downloaded from MSI. Instead they are acquired from the Microsoft Store. - Nahimic audio EQ software is buggy and doesn't seem to always work right (e.g. sometimes gets to a loading screen and then auto-closes).

Overall Review: As of this writing, I had bought this MB about a year ago, and the enhanced audio was the primary selling point. Back then, the audio driver, control panel, and EQ software was contained in a single direct download, and worked very similar to the classic Realtek audio control panel. The enhanced audio is very nice with music, videos, and gaming — overall, good times. But the latest version of the audio software is quite a different experience. There are THREE install packages for those using Windows 10 RS3 — aka version 1709 — or later. You get the audio driver from MSI's website. Then you get the audio control panel from the Microsoft store. And finally the Nahimic EQ software is also downloaded from the Microsoft store. I recently formatted/reinstalled Windows 10 version 1803, and with a fresh OS install — MSI's older all-in-one audio software package has been crashy and unreliable. MSI's website does specifically state that the older driver is for Windows 10 RS2 — aka version 1703 — or older, so this is not a big surprise. But it is a disappointment since the older software was a far better experience in its day. The enhanced audio is very nice, if you can get Nahimic to behave. Can be a big "if", as I am really tired of fighting with it. I can't recommend this MB to anyone who is interested in the enhanced audio, and there are many less expensive alternatives for anyone who doesn't care about enhanced audio. If you're looking for LED bling — again, there are other less expensive alternatives to consider. It is solidly constructed, still running stable after a year (enhanced audio aside), and has a nice BIOS interface — and for that I'll grant 2 eggs instead of 1. As I stated, the enhanced audio was the primary selling point for me, and lately I have been far too frustrated with it to grant a higher rating. As an aside: I suspect that to notice any benefit with the enhanced audio, you'll also need at least a decent set of powered 2.1 or better speakers. I can say the enhanced audio (when working) pairs quite well with my Cyber Acoustics 2.1 speakers.

Pros: Just like the title says: Working A-OK with MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon and Intel Core i7-8700 (non-K)

Cons: Only a minor nitpick: The advertised speed clearly states "DDR4 2666". But I had to turn on XMP in BIOS before my MB would auto detect 2666 MHz. Otherwise, detection was at 2400 MHz.

Overall Review: * My motherboard has BIOS version A00 (factory original), and the RAM is detected OK. * First thing I did before loading an OS was to run a full pass of memtest86+ (via UBCD v5.3.7) and no problems were found. * My machine has been running solidly stable for almost two weeks, now.
