Pros: USB 2.0, Stable base, Independent power supply, 7 ports.

Cons: None noted.

Overall Review: Purchased to expand the ports for an older e-machines desktop. 5/7 ports used, and sits perfectly stable on top of the tower with USB cables pulling it every which way. All devices plugged in work without a hitch. Dust cover for vertical ports is nice since I don't use them (for now). Overall solid product.

Pros: Reasonable price, attractive, many ports.

Cons: Cheaply made; flimsy plastic shell & substandard hardware,

Overall Review: Approximately 10 & 1/2 months after I received this hub, I went to re-plug it in (power only, no devices yet) after re-rigging my cabling, and I noticed a few of the port lights were cycling on then off at about 1Hz. I found it odd, so I hit the power button on the hub and the lights stayed off. I started to plug in my devices - all the while my computer is turned off - and as I got to some dead (just the cable; no device attached) connectors, there was a loud pop, and smoke started coming out of the some of the hub ports. I pulled the power on the hub, and removed all the devices/cables I had been plugging in. Fortunately, none of my other equipment seems to be damaged, but the hub is fried. Very frustrating since I went to the trouble of doing a "power-off" set up; I didn't even hit the power button on the hub before it popped - something let voltage go where it shouldn't have.

Pros: - Performs to spec - Attractive design and lighting

Cons: - Requires 3rd party plugins to make AURA Sync happy (Corsair iCue + Asus Armory Crate)

Overall Review: With Corsair being a trusted name for memory, I just looked for the type & speed I wanted, made sure it was RGB (for the kid's 1st build), and this is what popped up. No issues with installation, just had to jump through some software hoops to get AURA Sync to to control the RGB. Bottom line is that I'd put money down for any of the Corsair Vengeance line, if it has the speed I need.

Pros: - 5v (3 pin) to 12v (4 pin) RGB conversion (either direction) - Plenty of RGB and fan spots - Powered by SATA off the PSU - Inexpensive

Cons: - No documentation at all (have an idea about RGB before you jump in with this)

Overall Review: Bottom line up front, I recommend this for you RGB compatibility needs. My kid's 1st (budget) build had a Rosewill Prism case (5v) with an Asus Prime mobo (12v header), and a DeepCool CPU liquid cooler that had RGB (also 5v). I ended up using this converter for just the RGB (and not the fans), and I spent more time just trying to tuck everything away in the case's meager cable management space then getting it hooked up and working. Made for a VERY happy kid, so I can't complain.

Pros: - XXL Format

Cons: - Still taking a while to fully flatten out (comes rolled)

Overall Review: My first experience with a pad this big, but given how my old pad would sometime work itself over the edge of my glass topped desk, the idea of having it anchored with my keyboard, and being wide enough that my keyboard isn't tilted, I'm a fan. I received it as a promotion with a SSD I ordered, but I'd be willing to pay it's meager price if I were to do it again.

Pros: - It's a soundbar, so it fits where other things won't - Sub is not huge, but is plenty powerful - Never thought I'd care, but I dig the RGB under lighting - Getting it connected and running with my PC was pretty seamless - One power supply for both bar and sub

Cons: - Requires 3rd party software to customize (always a con for me) - Not well balanced for dialogue right out of the box (bass drowns out the mid ranges) - Not cheap

Overall Review: If you've got the funds for the higher end Sound Blaster line, then by all means (this is more mid to high end, but good enough). It's simple and attractive for my taste, and the RGB gives it that extra flair. I will also say that this is the first time in many years that I've had an external speaker from my PC, and I forgot how good it can be. You gotta pay for it, but I say "worth it!"

There was a shipping SNAFU, but before I even knew it happened, JOYMALL contacted me with an update and how they were fixing the problem. Very impressed, 5 eggs.
