Finally Got the Speed
Pros: Amazing speed. And that's why I bought this. New build on a ASUS HERO VII and a i74790K. It's so fast, I can't even see the log on screen. Up in less than 10 seconds.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: Traded this from an M.2 card, which turned out to be incompatible with the motherboard. Glad I did. I think I got a better deal with this one.
HERO Device shortfall
Pros: Overall the board is nice. A lot of nice features that warrant the price tag. The BIOS has a lot of things that you can do to customize it for your particular uses.
Cons: Unfortunatly, the SSD category for this board is a little short of Excellent. After several back and forth emails to the techs at ASUS they kept feeding me the corporate line. One tech however came out and said that the SAMSUNG EVO 850 M.2 is not compatible with this board and recommend reading the ROG Device Documents on their support page. No bios updates for Devices since 2013.
Overall Review: If I had to do it over again, I might have started with the add ons and then found a motherboard that supports everything I want. Kind of disappointed with the outcome, but learned a bunch from trying to figure out why something doesn't work as advertised.
Right Length
Pros: Well made, nice and long and it does the job.
Cons: Multi colors should be available too.
Overall Review: Excellent. Delivery time was perfect too.
Great Upgrade
Pros: This was used for an upgrade to my mini-pc that had a much slower, and smaller m.2 primary drive. Took awhile to install the software from my old m.2 to the new one, but finally worked it out. Tremendous speed now, and the price was really unbeatable with the heat sink too.
Overall Review: Top marks for this one. Probably buy more to upgrade other PCs that I have.
Nice Case
Pros: This is a very nice case for a spare m.2 to had. Worked great right out of the box. And a big plus, it was very inexpensive. Would recommend for a very fast alternative to external storage.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Very positive on all areas. Product, pricing and delivery.
Supplemental software
Pros: It was a piece of software that I didn't need.
Overall Review: Software was not needed in my case.
Colorful solution
I needed a device to put my m.2 drive onto and get the best performance. This was a significant upgrade to my Gen4 MSI motherboard. The Motherboard m.2 just wasn't cutting it for me. Very slow, but after getting this little gem a plugging it in it was nearly 4x faster.
Small but loud
I like this speaker system a lot. It's perfect for my beelink mini-computer. It takes up very little space and price was perfect too.
Very Handy Aux. Storage Device
I'm glad there was someone building these external USB devices. I didn't have any idea on what I was going to do with my extra m.2. So now, we have a home.
