Pros: The case came with plenty of fasteners and even a case fan power converter for motherboards with only one fan socket. The all black interior and accessories is also nice, and it matches well with my black/blue LED power supply from the same manufacturer. The leads for the front panel are very long, so if your motherboard has odd placements like mine, you will still be able to hook them in. The clips for routing cables through the back panel are nice as well, and you can't beat 4 USB ports on the front.

Cons: Two of corners were smashed in to the point where the rear thumb screws were tilted sideways, likely due to the thin foam insert. But it's nothing a little female ingenuity and a pair of pliers couldn't fix. The manual was also rather plain, and did not explain how to get the front bezel or the drive covers off. I ended up snapping one of the plastic tabs that hold the covers by accident.

Overall Review: This was to replace a poorly ventilated OEM case whose interior resembled a snakepit. My CPU fan does not go crazy in this new one. One thing to note, this case seems better suited for those with modular PSUs or ones without covered cables. There is plenty of room on the back side, but if you have a bunch of unusued connectors, it will be tight.

Pros: Affordable, nice capacity, recyclable packaging

Cons: Power saving scheme is terrible

Overall Review: It's a good drive for what I needed- upgrading a 2008 Macbook from 250gb. The box has the big OSX logo on it, though I was on Snow Leopard instead of Lion. No problems there after installation. The big problem is that no matter what power settings you use in OSX, adapter or battery, the drive spins down IMMEDIATELY. Not after an idle period, immediately after loading a file. Even browsing a simple news webpage had the drive spinning up and down every 5 seconds. Mechanical drives have a finite number of cycles, so this is very detrimental to the life of the drive. I would have expected as much for a Green series drive, but this is supposed to be Blue series. Manufacturer's site is no help, as the only tools they have to even address this problem are for Windows. Luckily, I found a DIY script that allows Mac users to adjust the settings. As far as I'm concerned, my problems are addressed and I will continue using the drive. But I wouldn't recommend purchasing it for OSX unless you're comfortable messing around in the OS (but chances are if you're comfortable with the hardware installation, you'll be fine). I get it, this is the age of saving power. But sleeping immediately after opening a file is like turning your car off and on at every stop sign.

Pros: Easy to install Y cord included Price Great for a static installation

Cons: Plastic caps are a little flimsy Screw holes weren't fully punched Not much drive protection

Overall Review: I bought this to connect an old HDD to my Wii U. For that purpose, it's perfect. I would not recommend the product for a drive that you wish to carry around, though, because there isn't much protection. It's literally a sleeve of aluminum and some plastic end caps.

Pros: good number of ports, looks good in an open case, nice cooling, easy install, point and click BIOS

Cons: board scratches on case standoffs if you're not careful, sleep mode a little wonky

Overall Review: It's served me well, no major complaints. My only problem is that sleep mode doesn't always perform as it should. After about 8 months of use, sleep stopped cooperating. Now, if I order the PC to sleep through Start, there's a 80/20 chance that the board will only power down visual, leaving fans and PSU running. If I let the computer auto-sleep, everything is fine. I've adjusted BIOS, all that stuff, but I can't get it back to how it used to be. Oh well, could just be age.

Pros: It does its job, supplies appropriate power. Cool blue lighting in each of the fans, and the covered cables look very nice. Looks awesome in a black case.

Cons: SATA is set up as 2 connectors per lead, and if you need all 4, it's a bit of a stretch (especially in a mid-tower). They also do not snap in place very tightly. It also only has 2 4-pin connectors, so if you have both a HDD and an optical drive that require them, there won't be any left for peripherals (unless you can use the PCI leads).

Overall Review: The lights go out when the PC is asleep, in case anyone needs to know. It's no louder than the OEM PSU I replaced, but it's a little too loud to leave on if you're trying to nap.
