Pros: No moving parts.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I wish I had purchased ten of them before they stopped making them to use and sell.

Pros: It was free and has color changing lights to show if drives are hot.

Cons: Sata wire plugs are old school and dont lock plus the power connector is a floppy that can be plugged in upside down if one tries.

Overall Review: I would never even think of using this thing on my new ssd drives in a million years.

Pros: Cheep and it works.

Cons: No fan in the case so if the cover is on in a hot area it will fail in a short time.

Overall Review: I was touching chips on the main board and discovered that the biggest chip was to hot to touch. I left the cover off and added a slow spinning 120mm fan sitting on it's side blowing across the board and hard drive which helped but was not enough the chip was roasting hot and the heat was causing the whole board to run hot. I cut up a old 486 cpu heatsink to fit the one inch chip and super glued it on. Now the chip is nice and cool and the other small chips are also much cooler but I still have the fan blowing and the cover off . Next I need to get that cover modded for a fan and more vents for air to flow while at the same time keeping it secure from mice or anything else from getting in it. For the $160 it costs and the fact that I like to tinker I may get one more unit but if I had just slapped the cover on and stuck it in the attic I may have burned the house down.

Pros: Has some nice touches.

Cons: Fox con n cpu socket, A bios that only lets me adjust my memory voltage to ether 1.35v or 1.3v and I would like to set it to 1.325v because 1.35v is 1.384v ! With the memory sticks touching each other they run hotter now than thay did on my z170 build they came out of and also don't like over volting the memory controller of the pricey kaby lake cpu. My cheep asrk z170 board allowed me to do the correct voltage settings.It seems like all the voltage settings on this bios don't have enough incremental adjustments and I am using there newest released one.The auto overclock over volts the cpu crazy high for just a 200mhz bump where stock voltage would be ok or .10v bump would be perfect for 400mhz. Please hire someone who cares to put in the time to write a complete bios like they did last year on your boards. The rom is plenty big enough so fix it.

Overall Review: Kaby lake is way over rated and this board has already most likely taken some life out of mine. Going to return the defective board because of the bios making it defective and sell the cpu or return it also because of the problems .

Pros: Replaced G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-8GVK that was unstable at XMP and was stable XMP timings at 2800mhz. I started out clearing the bios and then starting out at the same XMP setting and backed off the speed to 2800mhz. It is now at 3000mhz stable and smooth mouse in bios also where the other memory created a freeze and go experience in bios. 35.592Gbps sisoftware bandwidth test Going to try for 3200mhz and do the memtest and prime 95 again and update my review. The I3 6100 does not like to run memory faster than 2800mhz without overclocking the buss which the XMP is not doing so this is some killer memory. Update: I set them back down to 2800mhz which still give me 34 plus Gbps bandwidth and the bios takes less time to finish. This memory will move to my new budget build when the z270 stuff arrives.

Cons: No cons yet! Got them on sale for like $50 off.

Overall Review: ASRock Z170micro Extreme 4 with bios 7.0. I3 6100 no OC. EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING 6gb. This memory. A old intel SSD and optical drive and a sparkle 450w platinum power supply. Windows 10 pro with the poor networking!

Pros: You get some software you may use.

Cons: Tried moving World of Warcraft to this drive on a older z77 computer and it was up and down with the speed like 5kb to 55mb max. Crashed one third into it several times. Tried the same thing on a new z170 board (not overclocked) again on any usb 3.0 it was exactly the same. Tried formatting it default and again it failed and never got hot during the partial transfer. Tried formatting it the way windows 10 wanted and it did a tiny bit better but still failed at like 22 gigabytes. I found a old rosewill usb external drive with a WD 250ys in it and plugged it in the comp and did a quick format on it than tried the same test. To my amazement the old spinner hard drive was taking the transfer at a rock steady 65mbps through the whole 95gb transfer.

Overall Review: Well see if I get a shipping label.
