Pros: Bought this set for my Asus Rampage IV Extreme built, because this motherboard has 8 memory slots. With all of the slots filled, the system booted at standard speed, which is 1600. I immediately changed the BIOS to use the X.M.P. profile, and it has no problem running at 2133 with all of the timing specs. without much effort. I still haven't done much in terms of overclock and over voltage, but I am quite happy to have 32GB of Quad Channel running at 2133 and CAS 9. The memory bandwidth is off the chart.

Cons: May be the price, but you get what you pay for. May be the no frill packaging -- all eight sticks are just stuffed in a plain brown box. At this price, I'd expect anti-static sleeves at the minimum.

Overall Review: Even though Asus doesn't have this memory on their QVL, G.Skill's website says that they have tested this with the R4E motherboard. 32GB is probably overkill for normal Windows applications, but I need it for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effect. Another benefit of having this much RAM is that you can set up a RAMDisk, e.g., you can allocate 8GB for a RAMDisk, and use this RAMDisk to hold your Windows pagefile and temp directory. Not only does it help to improve Windows performance, it also extends the life of your boot SSD as those high frequency write operations are now moved to the RAMdisk.

Pros: It is Windows XP Pro. What more do I need to say?

Cons: Don't trust this Vista Upgrade thing. Apparently, Microsoft contracted the whole thing to this company called Moduslink. You need to go to their website to enter your Redemption Number (comes inside your XP package) as well as the XP Certificate of Authenticity number (also inside the XP package) to receive an Order Confirmation Number. You then need to fill in the OCN on the redemption form (also inside the XP package), and mail it in. In my case, after Moduslink accepted my credit card information (for Shipping/Handling), the website returned an "unrecoverable error, and asked me to try again later. Well, I tried later. It no longer accpeted the XP Certificate of Authenticity number, as it had already been used. How can this be? I received no Order Confirmation Number the first time. I emailed Moduslink about this problem, and as I later found out, they don't reply to email. If you don't believe me, do a search on Google. This problem is real.

Overall Review: I think we need a class action lawsuit against Moduslink and Microsoft. Neither of these companies is willing to step up to resolve the problems. This kind of business practice needs to be stopped.

Pros: Great price for BD-RE. Burns at 2.3x using Imgburn 2.5.6, UDF 2.6, and LG WH12LS38 burner.

Cons: None. Wish the 6x DL is selling at this price.

Overall Review: Took 3 hours to do the initial Full Erase. Luckily, this only needs to be done once. Took about 45 minutes to fill the disc with data.

Pros: Bought two of these cards for use in a Canon semi-professional camcorder, XA-10. This camcorder does support SDXC. Both cards were formatted perfectly by the camcorder, and the camcorder saw 64GB in both cards. It even accurately reported Class 10 in its Memory Info menu.

Cons: None so far. These cards seemed to work fine with the XA-10, which was what I bought them for. The price was a little bit more than regular SDHC cards, but I wanted the 64GB capacity. I just hope that they are reliable. Time will tell.

Overall Review: These are SDXC cards, not SDHC cards. SDXC is a newer and higher capacity format. There aren't a lot of devices that can support it yet. Be sure that your device and card reader specifically state that they support the SDXC format. If they don't say, assume that they don't support it. Most SD card readers that are built into laptop computers don't support SDXC, but there are many USB readers that do. Just be careful.

Pros: First, this thumb drive is extremely fast. Benchmarked using Atto Disk Benchmark v2.46, I am getting around 275-280 MB/s in Reads, and 140-147 MB/s in Writes. This is achieved with the "SSD Turbo Mode" on an Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79 LGA 2011 motherboard. In "Normal Mode", I am getting around 243-249 MB/s in Reads, and 100-101 MB/s in Writes. Both results are very respectable. Other than speed, I like the fact that this drive has 64GB (58.9 GB formatted) capacity. Lastly, I like that the cap can be stored in the back of the drive during use. Otherwise, I'll likely lose it over time.

Cons: (1) Price, but you get what you paid for. (2) The physical size of this drive is very large. It may block off neighboring USB ports when in use. A USB 3.0 extension cable will solve this problem.

Overall Review: Hope this drive last.

Pros: This is a 1,000W 80 Plus Platinum power supply. How many such PSUs are there in the market? The PSU runs very quietly and coolly in my system, which is only drawing 300W from the plug currently. It leaves me plenty of room for overclocking and adding new graphics cards. I also love the fact that it has a single rail design.

Cons: (1) Pricey for 1,000W (2) Only 1,000W (3) Only have enough cables for 3 graphics cards -- no quad SLI without an adaptor (4) Some cables may be too short for XL-ATX and HPTX cases if you want to route all of them to the back of the motherboard tray. I have to use one extension cable even in an E-ATX case, which is smaller than those other two. For standard ATX and below, there should be no problem.

Overall Review: This is the third SeaSonic PSU that I own so far. The previous two are the X-850, which are still running strong 24x7. This is the first 1,000W SeaSonic that I own and they make. I think I have discovered a solid brand for PSU. Previously, I had used PC Power and Cooling Company's TurboCool units, which were built like tanks, but very noisy. Those units are still working after may be 10+ years, but they lack the 24-pin ATX connector. I also had very good experience with the Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold line. Comparing to that, I think this SeaSonic is better still.
