Quiet

Pros: Very quiet compared to previous high pitched whine from a 3650 card. DTS HD Master bitstreaming to AVR works.
Cons: Idle GPU is running at 600/900 MHz. Seems high.
Overall Review: Driver related problems, probably common for all 5670 cards: Had to Google to find temporary drivers as Catalyst 10.1 did not work. Dolby TrueHD bitstreaming is currently broken. ATI PowerPlay (GPU freq changes for power save) causes glitches and pops in audio over HDMI unless disabled with a rather complicated hack. (Long) list of known problems with HDMI audio on 5xxx cards.
Failing after less than 2 years

Pros: Fast
Cons: Drive is failing with bad sectors after less than 2 years.
About one third of expected write speeds

Pros: Cheaper than Samsung. No problems installing and it does work.
Cons: Write speeds as per CrystalDiskMark are about one third of those seen on other NVMe drives, e.g. Samsung (600 MB/s instead of 1800-2000 MB/s). Read speed is around 1200 MB/s, vs Samsung's 2000 MB/s or more.
Overall Review: Should have spend $20 more for Samsung. Did not realize there would be such a huge difference. These write speeds are hardly any better than my old SSD drive. Badly regret purchase.
Very poor transfer rates for SSD

Pros: Easy to install. Works with Xbox One instant-on game resume
Cons: When used with an SSD on Windows, I am seeing only USB2 transfer rates (30-40MB/s). With a different enclosure, same SSD, around 250MB/s. For OS X, transfer rates are around 200 MB/s, better than Windows, but far from the 400MB/s I get with another enclosure using the same SSD.
Unreliable - died after 6 months

Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: For me, this was a very unreliable HDD. It died after 6 months of light usage and I can therefore not recommend it.
Overall Review: Out of my three USB 3.0 external HDDs, two have died within less than a year, one Seagate and one WD. Out of my 5 or 6 eSATA drives of various brands, none have died. Strange.
Excellent replacement for non-PWM fans

Pros: I did the exact same thing as this reviewer: "After replacing the stock fans on the Coolermaster Hyper N520 with two of these I am very satisfied!" They are virtually silent at 600RPM, and very quiet at 1800RPM with full CPU load (which is extremely rare). The stock fans on the N520 are non-PWM and very noisy all the time.
Cons: Thin and long wires.
