Pros: These are excellent drives. They were 50 bucks on Newegg. They are running very very cool, quiet, transfer speeds are good for green drives. I've been bouncing terabyte clones back and forth between these since i got them, getting raid setup with out the "required" windows 7 reinstall. I'll update this later if there are problems as i am still running full scans, but that needless two star review needs addressed.

Cons: They MAY need a firmware upgrade. Thats probably why they are cheap. The firmware is needed on drives made before 2011. You can always install it anyway just to be sure. Follow the directions to create a bootable usb drive here: http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197 And get the samsung firmware from here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/faqView.do?b2b_bbs_msg_id=386. Extract the samsung zip, add the file to the bootable USB, set you computer to boot off the USB drive, and then type F4EG. The program will detect all connected F4EG drives and update their firmware. When its finished power off completely and then reboot. Its easy to do, other reviewers noted it for our 2 star friend and he didn't listen. You should always check the firmware on new hardware. Also the highest rates of failure for Harddrives are begining and end of life. NEVER put your only copy of important data on a new drive. This is what backups are for.

Overall Review: I have seen a lot of horror stories about harddrive packaging the last year or 2 in Newegg reviews. These were packaged perfectly. The drives came in plastic shells with screws. More than you usually get for OEM. They were then wrapped in a sheet of large bubble wrap, placed snuggly in individual harddrive sized boxes, and then placed in the shipping box, which was full of packing paper so they couldn't move. Exactly how they should be shipped if you don't want DOA drives. I don't know how much of that was Samsung and how much was newegg, but it was done right. They were also extremely easy to get out of said packaging. While I've never had a failed drive from newegg, i have gotten drives wrapped in a ball of bubble wrap and packing tape i had to attack with a knife, so this was definitely a nice surprise.

Pros: Its a decent price, it did last quite a while, and when it died it didn't take a single component with it. I am really not bitter about its death. I did waste money here but it was my fault for not reading as well as i should have, and it was 2 years ago, at the time the whole 12 volt rail scam was accepted. But i was nowhere near the supposed 900 watt's it says it will supply to the 12 volt rails when it died, and unlike some rosewill haters, I really do like their stuff. The problems here are with the industry and I can in no way recommend a power supply using this outdated and gimicky format, of any brand. Nothing against rosewill here, except following the same dishonest marketing as every other manufacturer.

Cons: It finally burned out when i maxed out the loads on it. this "1000 watt" power supply is only rated for 600 watts on the 12 volt rail, and thats all thats really used anymore. Multiple 12 volt rails. 2 at 20 Amps and 2 at 30 amps HOWEVER the total 12 volt capacity is only half that, 52 amps. Since 12V * 52Amps = 624 watts how they get away with saying 900watts(52 amps) on the label i don't know, thats some very special math. This has one transformer that feeds all 4 12 rails. The current ratings on the rails are not a measure of how much total current they can deliver, but ONLY the current limiter thats installed on them. Its only half modular, but you'll most likely use all the permanently connected cables, I did. The cables have "special" keying on the power supply side. Which means you can't plug them in if with the annoying +x pin cables on the power supply side so you don't have to mess with them, and you can't use the with anything else when it dies no reason for this

Overall Review: The whole "multiple 12 volt rails" bit is a scam. It came out of some outdated saftey standard, and the fact that true independant rails reduce voltage "jitter" by breaking up the components. This is done in "real" power supplies. PC's are basically NEVER independent rails. But marketing departments latched onto this, and pushed it. So what you actually get is no reduction in jitter, they are all on the same main 12 volt supply after all. A lower actual wattage then the implied total, shady marketing, and the hassel of having to figure out which modular connector is on which rail so you can "balance" the load of your parts across the artificial current limiters. The bottom line is there is absolutely no reason for multiple 12 volt rails, and the industry is realizing this. The higher end power supplies are now appearing with single 12 volt rails, and you can get one rated at 70-80 amps on a simarly priced power supply, vs 52 amps here. Stay away with anything iwht more than one

Pros: First, about USB 3.0. Mine had out the back cables. I am not even sure if this was before or after the description was updated to the 20 pin. But on Saturday at 6 AM I contacted Rosewill through the "contact us" link on their web page and asked NICELY. Less than 48 hours later i got a response asking for my invoice/order number and shipping address. 8 hours after i responded i got the following response from the same person. "I have just completed the request for the following Parts for your Thor V2: • Top Panel with USB 3.0 20 Pin connector This request may take up to a few weeks or more and once I receive an update on this request, I will notify you for your convenience." Now yes, a "few weeks" but who knows where its shipping from and how long do you wait for a rebates? I say good customer service. If i never get it i suppose i will update. Beyond that I really like the case, and for the features and price you can't do better.

Cons: People giving one egg over USB 3.0 ports they wont even use (who needs 1 let alone 4, only a harddrive will benefit and you should be using esata then...) without waiting for support to respond. People need to understand that when this case was designed the internal motherboard header did not exist and boards were shipping with back USB 3.0 ports. So it was designed with out the back cables. When the internal header was standardized they updated their case design, just like coolermaster and corsair. These means that when the description is updated to the 20 pin header there are still some in stock rooms and on boats with the old cables. It happens with every manufacturer. Support will help you.

Overall Review: This is a customer service review as others are being unfair, and I think this information is needed. I originally gave the case four stars, as it was a little rough around the edges, but I have had no problems with loud fans, and this was the only case that had the features i wanted. And for the price its great. If you got it on sale even better. I am still VERY happy with it, and I bet if you have a broken fan or defective/loud one Rosewill would help you out too.

Pros: In combination with a new case my CPU temps dropped 10 degrees, and that is with an additional 200MHz overclock and a voltage bump. I previously couldn't overclock higher due to temps, now i am at the processors limit, and still cool. Unlike some i thought the install was pretty easy. My first time doing one that requires removal of the motherboard heatsing mounting setup and I had no issues. I even had to remove one of the fans and put it back in order to reach a plug once it was in the case and had no problems. Didn't need the vibration strips. Its pretty quiet even with two powerful (N82E16835185060) 120MM fans on it blasting a jet stream of air out the back of my case. Fans use clips and can slide up and down. I am using newegg item number N82E16820231455 for memory and the front fan sits right on top of the first stick in a crosshair III MB. So it doesn't block the first slot but any taller memory and you wouldn't be able to fit the front fan.

Cons: Its big, know your case. I kicked it while it was sitting on the floor and slashed up a toe?

Overall Review: Fits in a rosewill thor v2 with no problem at all. Excellent cooling on AMD AM3 CPUs

Pros: Running great, I am currently using them at 1600MHZ with the timings tightened down to 7-8-7 with a mild voltage boost(up to 1.65 is gskills limit, i'm at 1.6). There's nothing wrong with the RAM, I'm only doing this is because the AMD memory controller is 1333MHz, but i bought these intentionally for when the new AMD's with their 1866 DD3 controllers come out, and to have room to tighten timings to run them with my current set of gskill 1600 cas7 ram

Cons: None

Pros: It looks nice, it'd be nice if it worked...

Cons: Thermal tape for the sensors is worthless, they wouldn't stick to anything so I never got to use them. Other kinds of tape could melt or damage the probes. Which means ago mode is useless. The connectores are flimsy and hard to connect, crooked pins not plugged in could short. Wires.are a ratsnest. Backlight went out, but I just leave it on full because of above issues anyway. It has started.flashing and sounding an alarm randomly on fan five. Even though the fan is running normally while the alarm is active. Luckily I found the audio mute.

Overall Review: I would not buy this again. I wish I had just plugged the fans into the board or power supply directly. I'll take it out when i get the motivation to undo all the wire routing... I get more than enough control over noise/airflow with an old thermal take controller to run the two vantec tornadoes in the back, and can just leave the other 5 on full.
