Pros: UEFI boots into Linux directly, supporting LVM2 crypto root without another boot loader. Best onboard sound I have heard. Sound is supported on linux kernel 4.10 (full support in 4.11?) ECC supported in Linux. Low idle power consumption.

Cons: Bios (3/14) has some quirks. With 4 sticks of 8GB 2400 ECC single rank RAM from Crucial, you must boot with two sticks, copy what it auto detected to manual settings, and then insert the other sticks. Otherwise you will have problems. Suspend to RAM works sometimes, but immediately wakes up in Linux. Pitty, as in 3 seconds it wakes up from sleep to desktop. Suspend to disk seems to work well, but really does a full re-post /re-boot.

Overall Review: This appears to be a solid board, and unlike some others, this motherboard supports ECC Ram.

Pros: Made of metal?

Cons: Does not POST with two motherboards, and killed a third one.

Overall Review: The QC of this power supply sucks. The otput voltages are inaccurate. It has thin wire to the ATX connector, and they are poorly crimped. I could go on and on. Too bad I have had it over 30 days, due to my lack of time building a new system, or back to newegg it would go. I would stick to Sparkle or Corsair.

Pros: FAST! OpenCL support. Fan is reasonably quiet and only throttles up when needed.

Cons: Overclocked from the factory, does not last. Power hungry. Big.

Overall Review: I have had this card about a year. Now it black screens once in a while during movie playback. I put in a RMA with ASUS after trying a new BIOS update, updated ATI drivers, and upping the core voltage with GPU tweak. No luck. I figure the hardware is dying slowly.

Pros: Spins, moves data

Cons: None, so far

Overall Review: This drive works in my HP N40L microserver with Solaris. None were DOA, only had them a day or two now.

Pros: Nice size, looks good

Cons: Sharp edges internally, watch out for cuts! Apevia refuses to give reliability specifications to end users, unless it is on their website (it is not, as of this writing.) Non-standard power supply size.

Overall Review: I have had this a few years. I emailed Apevia and asked what the MTBF (failure rate) was on the power supply. Apevia refused to give me the specification. It could be 1000 hours for all we know. Perhaps that is why my motherboard died.

Pros: Decently quiet, reliable.

Cons: Not well known

Overall Review: I put over 28000 hours of uptime on this thing. No complaints, pulled it when I needed more amps for a large graphics card. No worries, this is a good power supply for a workstation.
