This Video Card does Sparkle!

Pros: 1) Actually works 2) Temps under 60 c with load / under 30 c without load 3) Plays everything smoothly 4) Excellent heat-sink We will see long-term the quality, but I have VERY high hopes for this card. I hope Newegg is not discontinuing this card as it is great.
Cons: 1) ONLY a three year warranty - Newegg needs to change the lifetime warranty 2) Heatsink is HUGE - would be hard to SLI this card 3) Warranty URL is incorrect on the box. Use: Register at www.sparkle-usa.com 4) Box states 350W minimum power supply on one side, and 450 watt on the other side. No issues with me as I have an 800 watt power supply. 5) Website in US has poor English translation
Overall Review: Newegg gets HIGH marks - UPS gets low marks. First card came with the box actually apart in two - they handed me the box by pressing it together and showed me the contents were there. Before I could check, they dashed off and while the box was there, the contents were not. Second one came sealed. NOT Newegg's fault! Register at www.sparkle-usa.com While EVGA has the better warranty, the last few cards I have had to constantly RMA - so add $30 onto the cost each time and you find out it is not worth it to buy their cards. Never had a video card fail in my life except for eVGA, Ati, Asus, PNY, Gigabyte - you name it - never a return and I have owned well over 50 video cards in my life.
Never again Mushkin

Pros: Fast when it worked - this drive will now be replaced a second time and when I get it - off to unload it.
Cons: This is the second drive they will have to replace under warranty. The first failed after 6 weeks. This one was unused, so I installed it in the laptop and it failed in about 5 months. As I have had Kingston, Corsair, and four Mushkin SSD's, I know have a 75% failure rate on the Mushkin devices and a zero % failure rate on multiple Kingston and Corsair SSD's.
Overall Review: Wanted to buy American - suggest you look at other manufacturers (except it looks like OCZ is also not that great based on reviews everywhere).
Update

Pros: None now
Cons: After two days, went to power up, and it won't - something on the card is shorting out.
Overall Review: Not pleased
Have 14 of these

Pros: Quiet Faster than my older 750 GB 7200 drives Large storage Easy to set up Working in SANS Digital Towerraid
Cons: Three year warranty vs five - but for the price, it evens out.
Overall Review: Some of these drives I get the occasional loud clicking - the last two came WELL wrapped and delivered by UPS and have been working fine.
Works fine in Gigabyte P55 UD3

Pros: Has speed profiles built in - if you do not select it, it will default to 1033 vs 1600 MHz. Works fast, zero troubles so far.
Cons: Long time to ship!
Overall Review: Was not on QVL for memory, so I took a chance. I figured since the 2 GB modules were on there, the 4 GB should work - and they did!
One of THE Best inventions!

Pros: Does what it states: ONE - I repeat ONE cable and I can attach to my laptop SSD and other 2.5" hard drives. You MUST have a port that has a dual USB/eSATA as it uses the voltage off the USB port. I am sick of reviews done by people without the proper technical background. This is a MUST buy - beats those external cases!
Cons: ABSOLUTELY none!
Overall Review: Has two red power lights - was kind of hoping one would flash green when being accessed...
