Pros: - Inexpensive - Hard Molded Plastic - Stylish - Efficient use of space - Fast - Light notification for USB 2.0 (blue) / 3.0 (green)

Cons: - Short Cable (70mm from case to tip of USB) - Bad USB 2.0 Speeds - Light notification for USB 3.1 reads as blue

Overall Review: CrystalMark 5.5.0 x64 reads PNY SSD over SATA: 561MBps Read / 351.3MBps Write (in use) - 100% speed PNY SSD over USB 2.0: 40.16MBps Read / 43.02MBps Write (unused) - 7% speed PNY SSD over USB 3.0: 432.3MBps Read / 433.0MBps Write (unused) - 77% speed PNY SSD over USB 3.1 (ASRock 3.1/A+C PCIe x4): 450.4MBps Read / 422.1MBps Write (unused) - 80% speed

Pros: - Came in an anti-static bag? - Low-load LED and Module Powered LED's work?

Cons: - Current potentiometer completely useless - Was not the same model as displayed (heat sync not on bottom, different quality components all around)

Overall Review: The LTC3780 is a great circuit toy to have for a lot of projects. That being said, I don't even know where to begin to fix this product. If the potentiometer is faulty, that would be really convenient, but the system outputs a maximum of 2.1a no matter what I seem to do.

Pros: - 3.7v (3.0-4.2) 800ma (2.9WA vs AA 3.75WH) - Exact match to AA cell size, no extra baggage

Cons: - May fry electronics when used in place of AA's

Overall Review: Cool trick, you can technically use 1 14500 in place of 2 or 3 AA's with a dummy cell (direct short) for other cells required in series. It won't last as quite as long as AA's (40% per charge), but it's rechargeable! #1 use for these tends to be for flashlights, but I use mine with my GBA and other peripherals just fine. For safety, it's usually recommended to use a resistor based voltage drop to ensure no damage to the device, and reduce the risk of over-discharge (and potential damage to the battery). - Traditional AA: 1.5v 2500mAh (3.75WH) - Rechargeable AA: 1.5v 2000mAh (2.4WH) - Traditional AAA: 1.5v 1000mAh (1.5WH) - Rechargeable AAA: 1.5v 800mAh (1.0WH)

Pros: - PCIe x4 fits any x4, x8, x16 slot - Allows you to move the SSD away from heat - Fits any M.2 card - Allows high bandwidth for the SSD storage device

Cons: - Card takes up a lot of unnecessary space - Specs required way too much research to correctly identify compatibility with 3rd gen M.2 - 10% speed loss on Corsair MP500

Overall Review: If your current slot is limited by Gen2 tech, reading and writing around 800MBps when promised 3000:1500, this card will do the trick. Uninhibited by OS or files, the card benchmarks 2760:1480, which is still far faster than any other storage medium. Not sure where the speed is lost, as there is very minimal circuitry on the board itself, and did not change when swapping between PCIe slots. Not a fan of the 4 day shipping delay, but it arrived in a very reasonable amount of time.

Pros: - Extremely low profile - High power output

Cons: - Does not fit most PSU slots in most cases (it's a server PSU, duh)

Overall Review: The FSP700 is aproximately the size of a 240mm radiator, and can allow for compact, full sized ATX motherboards in the right case. I bought this to make a sub-14L case, will see how it goes, but it easily handles the power draw of my desktop, and could, in theory, power far more hardware than I intend to own.

Pros: - Device was hassle-free plug-and-play - Device formatted without issue - Faster than expected delivery

Cons: - Too Fast - Required me to enable the drive in the MBR before usage, which might not be apparent to some

Overall Review: - Turns out my Motherboard (z97x Killer) supports M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 Gen2, not the Gen3 - Turns out my OS (Win10 Pro) recognized the drive anyways (BIOS doesn't) - Gen3 on a Gen2 slot runs at 830r 800w, still faster than the 560r 540w of my PNY Sata SSD - TODO: Look into a Gen3 PCIe adapter card
