Most Favorable Review

Fast read and writes.

WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,300 MB/s - WDS100T2X0E
WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,300 MB/s - WDS100T2X0E

Pros: I bought 2 of these, one for windows 11 and one for my favorite game which is a flight sim (DCS) which needs a lot of space and good speed. While I used to have lagging sometimes on my previous system, I now have very smooth flying and seamless transition. Since the new motherboard can take 4 of those M2. I'll have to look if I can buy a higher capacity one and put some more games on it.

Cons: None whatsoever

Overall Review: Would not hesitate to buy another one

Most Critical Review

One of the 2 modules DOA

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C15D-16GTZ
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C15D-16GTZ

Pros: The other module works fine but of course not having ½ your expected memory is impacting on the performance.

Cons: Created a RMA, but I need to return the 2 modules, so buying another set while waiting to be able to return those. Might keep both sets or return one, not yet sure.

Great card, scary install

GIGABYTE WINDFORCE GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 x16 ATX SFF Graphics Card GV-N5080WF3-16GD
GIGABYTE WINDFORCE GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 x16 ATX SFF Graphics Card GV-N5080WF3-16GD

Pros: Shipping was really fast, I received it about a week before I was supposed to. Install was scary as it did not work initially, I even changed my power supply from 850 to 1000 just in case and it still would not work until I did not screw it to the case. Attaching it to the case was basically forcing it to come out a little bit out of the connector. Once I closed the case without attaching the card in, it worked perfectly. No worries about it moving since basically that desktop is not being accessed. Almost all of my games are now being played with 4K and I use it for DCS with VR and now flying is hypnotizing since the graphics and VR works so well. Saw a lot of reviews saying how noiseless the card is and indeed not a lot of noise coming from the card, my desktop fans are way more noise than it. Good price for a card with so much power.

Cons: Not attached to the case because when doing that the card connector lifts a little bit out of the motherboard.

Overall Review: If you have the money for it, don't hesitate to get it.

Happy for the time being

Pros: Installation was a bit painful but only because of me. The power supply I had was a 650W so I bought a new 850W to swap in. Because of routing cable shenanigans I missed that one of the motherboard power cable was not plugged and thought the card was causing the pc not to boot. Once I figured out the power cable issue, computer booted correctly. Used NVidia experience to optimize a couple of my favorite games and started enjoying the spectacular graphics. My motherboard is a bit old at this time, a Z170, but while still using a PCI3 slot the result is still very satisfying. Playing DCS with everything high is certainly the highlight of that card...

Cons: The only sad part about getting the card is the lack of time I currently find myself in which doesn't let me spend a lot of time gaming and enjoying my games on high or ultra settings

Overall Review: Completely satisfied with it, I would do it again

Pros: Fast, not even needed to enable TRIM, got close to an hour more out of my battery, and not as warm as having a hard drive

Cons: Nothing yet..

Overall Review: Thinking about buying another one to replace my DVD drive.

Very good value for the cost

ASUS GeForce GTX 650 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card GTX650-DC-1GD5

Pros: Plugged in, downloaded the driver from nvidia, everything worked. the longest problem was simply to go back to all of my games and making sure to change the settings to get better graphics.

Cons: Not that i can think of

Overall Review: Replaced a radeon 4800 with so many issues I thoughtI had a motherboard problem, eventually the card just blew, this is the replacement. Worked very well, and my windows is stable almost like my Mac.

Using those as backup device.

Definitely would recommend, I bought 2 of those for my kids laptops. They are using them as automated backup units. Doesn't take a lot of power and fast so backups are really not taking a lot of time

Wow! these things are fast

Ordered as a replacement for my old hard disk backup units for my kids machine. Backing up is now so fast they have reliable backups, they use to disconnect their laptop and move around so the backup was never up to date. Now it is so fast they only need to be connected around 5 minutes to get an incrementing backup. Very glad I bought those,

M.2 holder to use it with my laptop

Speed is just a little bit faster than my T7, and to be honest I expected more speed out of it. Might be I have hit the upper limit of the USB gen 2. Might look into some thunderbolt based external case. Putting the M.2 in the case is really easy and does not require any tool so a big plus for it. Supports multiple format so another plus, all being said, I am very satisfied of those case.
