Pros: decent price for an Intel CPU. usually pay around 500 dollars for top of the line Intel cpu in my previous upgrades.

Cons: this is the first retail CPU from Intel I purchased that does not come with a cooler. I had to wait for a few days to get a cooler. so prepared to pay extra 40 dollars for that.

Pros: It's fast out of the box with good bench mark.

Cons: According to Newegg history I bought this ssd on 9/27/2015 and now two years later I compare it to my Crucial Ssd which I bought at the same exact time on the same order. I remember two years ago I ran Crystal Disk Mark on both the ssds and samsung benchmarks was at least 50-100 mbs faster than crucial but now this samsung is running 100+ mbs slower than the crucial ssd! The crucial ssd has not changed too much still around 550 mbs read speed but the samsung has dropped to 395 mbs read speed, in fact the write speed is now at 405 mbs faster than the read! Google around and this seems to be a known issue that after some times the samsung read speed slows to a crawl. I have downloaded the samsung magician software but that didn't do much at all... too bad cannot go back in time and not buy benchmark optimized samsung ssd.

Pros: it comes with lots of screws

Cons: This thing does not have bottom screws, so if your case removable harddrive tray only have bottom screws then you wont be able to screw this in. The tabs for the screw are not very good half the holes does not even line up correctly with the screws in them. While it does allow two 2.5 ssd drives there is no way to use a 90 degree data cable or 90 degree power cable on the bottom hd, as the ssd does not extended out far enough to clear the bracket.

Pros: lots of room on the back side for cable management. lots of cable port to the back side for cable management. lots of slots for 3.5 internal hard drive very light for a case this size

Cons: no place for fans in the lower front grill, not a big issue since you can have 3 fans in the back. steel panels is a bit thin, flexes and flimsy, but I guess that is why this case is light detachable fan filter is loose on the bottom panel.

Overall Review: bought this for a NFS/Media server. much cheaper than snology or droble. Slots for eight hard drives, filled them all with no issues.

Pros: I guess it show up in windows 7 and linux.

Cons: only four port can be used at a time, so do not expect to use all six ports at a time. Does not work under linux. It will work for a while but any sort of large io transfer will get you IO Error and the entire sata card will go down. Only a hard shutdown and restart will fix this, not even a reset will fix it.

Overall Review: I guess this will work fine if you just want windows support.

Pros: free windows 7 upgrade

Cons: lost $200

Overall Review: The coupon is a code where you can use in a website specified on the voucher from Microsoft. You then order the upgrade like any other product for free. It looks to be windows 7 ultimate upgrade edition. Says to ship around November 5th.
