Great case! USB ports can be an issue at times.

DIYPC  DIY-F2-O Black/Orange USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower Gaming Computer Case with 2 x Orange LED Fans (Pre-installed)
DIYPC DIY-F2-O Black/Orange USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower Gaming Computer Case with 2 x Orange LED Fans (Pre-installed)

Pros: - Love the color selection especially orange is one of them. - Small and sleek - cable management is easy - plexiglass (plastic) window on case - 2 case fans included - 3 USB ports - great for mATX motherboards - can support a tower CPU fan cooler or closed loop liquid cooler - quiet case fans - installation hardware and small piezo speaker

Cons: - USB 2.0 ports can be spotty at best, a little tough to insert devices or cables into the top mounted USB ports that I am concerned they may break, sometimes it does not make contact in the port the device is not recognized - no support for external liquid cooling (not like I would use it because I'm old school) - may not fit the larger GPU cards due to the size of the case - cable management can be difficult depending on motherboard and power supply cable length.

Overall Review: Great case for a budget build, 2 case fans come installed to the color choice of the case, (orange for orange, blue for blue, etc.) Love the plexiglass window, may not be as large as a tempered glass case would have it, at least it's nice to look at, especially when you have RGB inside the system and want to see the light show without being obstructed by a standard "no window" case. Comes with a multitude of hardware in the box, including a piezo speaker for diagnostics on compatible motherboards that have that pinout header. Has sufficient cooling space and cable management is a good bonus. The only reason I have not given it a 5 egg rating is because the top mounted USB 2.0 ports can be spotty and a little tough to plug devices into, plus the ports may not always work so I have to try a different one. PLUS it's a tight squeeze that whatever device I plug into those ports it's like I have to wedge it in and potentially risk breaking the ports. I may have gotten a defective case? I don't know but it is not a big deal for me. The top USB 3.0 port gives me no issues.

Excellent external storage for when your system is running low on space.

Pros: If you need more storage or are upgrading to an internal SSD in your computer/laptop, this will help you in transferring information from one source to the other. No need for external power with this external drive. Very fast transfer rates that meet or exceed the minimum external speed for most game systems like Xbox one or the PS4 for example. So there would be no need to download and uninstall games repeatedly.

Cons: It may be difficult at first to open the casing but after that it's easy.

Overall Review: Great for external storage will work with all 2.5" HDD or SSD drives.

Good replacement, good for external storage.

Pros: Excellent HDD for external storage (with proper kit) or internal replacement for a failing drive. I use mine as external storage and it works like a charm! You can never go wrong with Western Digital hard drives. Also meets the minimum storage and speeds if you choose to use it with a gaming console like Xbox one or PS4 with the proper setup you can expand storage for your gaming console.

Cons: No cons here.

Overall Review: Flawless for internal replacement drive. Great for external storage use. What I have pictured is an external storage drive that makes it work with USB 3.0 and is self powered too.

Fast and major upgrade from a traditional HDD

Pros: Very fast bootup for my early 2011 model MacBook Pro and a huge upgrade in speed too! Fast booting times as is expected for a SSD. Will work with just about any system that is SATA Capable, for best results it would need to be SATA 3 for optimal results. High compatibility with any system whether it's internal or external storage. Comes uninitialized but can be formatted to your needs.

Cons: Depending on the system, you need to ensure it's formatted properly for system installation. I had some difficulty at first, but with another PC I fixed the formatting table to be compatible with my MacBook Pro.

Overall Review: Fast, reliable after one day of use, works with any system, internal or external, you choose how to use the SSD and what application too.

Easy to setup and use!

Pros: Fast and easy plug and play setup! Has USB 3.0 port on back to allow network drive share among several devices! Broad range for wifi. Fast LAN and WAN connection ports at 1gbps baud rate for your networking.

Cons: A bit tedious to setup port forwarding if necessary. Only 3 Lan ports.

Overall Review: Great for home use and for several devices that are connected to wifi. Will work with any existing modem for your ISP. Full support for 1000mbps connectivity for LAN and WAN Full speed WiFi 6 connection.
