Just right for adding SSD

Pros: Well made.Plenty of attaching screws.Works great as intended for puting an SSD in a desktop that doesn't have a premade slot for one.

Cons: None I can tell yet.

Overall Review: Should have purchased several while on sell.

Working good so far!

Pros: Seems to be well-made. Cloned my original OS 3.5 drive to it with no trouble at all. This SSD seems to be very fast. Booting to usable system was cut by about 1/2 to 3/4 the normal boot time, with the old 7200 rpm SATA. The over all system is snapper & everything loads so much faster now.

Cons: Kind of minor, but when I formatted, it only shows as a 475Gb drive. Still, not bad at all.

Overall Review: Time will tell how good it really is, but thus far I'm very pleased with this purchase. I would at this point recommend this brand especially if on sale.

Great Kenwood

Pros: Great system but what you'd expect from Kenwood systems. The face is well layed out and easy to use. The sound from my speakers now is totally different. Saved having to replace them as well.

Cons: None that I've found.

Overall Review: If your replacing an oem or older system this would be a great choice.

Great Drive

Pros: Works as it's supposed to. No coasters in 10 burns after system burn in.

Cons: No yet.

Overall Review: Guess it could have been free. Got it as part of an inexpensive system build for my 8 yr old Granddaughter.

Darn Good Fans

Pros: Good quality overall. Very Quite.

Cons: Nothing I can fine right off.

Overall Review: The system I built for my wife had blue light fans and she wanted to replace 2 that had gone bad out of the 5 I originally put in the system to cool it. These filled the bill rightly. Liquid cooling was still young when I assembled her system so I put as many fans in as there where mounting spots. Worked great for 4 yrs nearly never being shut down. Cleaned every month or so.Even the best items wares out at some point. These replaced a name brand lighted fan and work as least as well if not better. Buy'um if you need fans not sure you'd ever go wrong>

Way better than I expected

Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Full Version)

Pros: Much better OS than I had been reading about. Very easy to figure out,though it does take awhile.

Cons: Operates best on a touchscreen system

Overall Review: Once you get past the learning curve it's a good OS. If you don't have a touchscreen system you need to set your scroll pad to a wider area of scrolling and you will find that the touch part is not missed as much. I still think Microsoft missed the boat on this OS. Most people just don't take the time to learn something that's vastly differant from what they are used to.
