Pros: Inexpensive, seems solid, 4 x 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, quiet (fanless), has readable documentation, does what I need.

Cons: Web interface is a tad clumsy, not fully intuitive. I couldn't get some features like AAA radius authentication to function as expected, though everything seems to be entered correctly. Same backend works fine for my wireless access points. I packet sniffed the link to the radius server and it appears the switch isn't even trying to talk to it. Be prepared to do some trial-n-error with this device if you want to do more with it than basic switching.

Overall Review: There are two versions of this switch, mine came as a V1 with the 1.0.2 image installed. I did manage to find the 1.0.3 firmware on the Canadian web portal. No firmware available on the US web portal--a little disconcerting. Bottom line... If you need 10GbE uplinks (more than two) on a budget, this unit may fit the bill. I haven't pushed this device real hard yet, so it may have some performance issues I'm yet to discover. So far, so good. I have three 10GbE servers connected to it with about a dozen 1GbE clients and all is well. It would be nice to have all the fancy features work out-of-the-box, but it appears this may take more work and most of those features are just nice-to-have but not critical. Basic switching does seem to work fine. I recommend this switch simply for the price if you need the four 10GbE ports. You can spend a lot more for just that with other brands. If you can live with only 2 10GbE ports, you have other options for this price range. The main feature of this switch is being able to stack them. I wasn't looking for this feature as 24 1GbE ports is gobs for my small lab. With that in mind, I can't say anything about having multiples of this switch connected together. It may work; it may not. I do know this switch works standalone as advertised.

Pros: Of the four drives that did work, they seem to run just fine. Nice and cool, quiet and with decent performance. Not super fast but they do have nice storage capacity for their physical size.

Cons: Not all drives are the same; when you received them, go register them and find out if they are still under warranty. The last two digits of the product code may vary from drive to drive. Take a close look and let us all know what variant of a WD10JPVT you have. Four of the eight drives I purchased would not work--indicated an overheat condition even though SMART reported them running at 28C. I opened a case with WDC that is still pending--not looking like they will provide any support thus far. No firmware updates and they don't seem too keen on replacing them. Their initial answer was that you can't use them in a server and that only the Red drives were supported in that environment. I have asked them about an exchange, but so far no answer.

Overall Review: Purchased 8 of them to test in a HP Proliant DL380 G6 server from another supplier. Of the 8, there were three different product numbers ending in -00, -22 and -75. All of the -75 drives indicated an Overheat condition with the 410i controller. Two of the other drives indicated they were no longer under warranty when registering them with WDC. This was just a simple proof of concept to determine if consumer grade drives could be used in an enterprise server. As it looks now, it is still possible, but you will have to take your chances using these drives. Hopefully this little write-up will help someone trying the same thing and save them some money. That's about all I can do from this side of the fence.

Pros: Pop both sticks in there and you're good to go, specifically if these part numbers appear on your motherboard's QVL list. They will do EXPO 1 profile without any hassle. Voltage will be a tad-bit higher than the standard 1.1 volts, but not excessive at only 1.25 volts. With 64GB on your system (even a motherboard with only two memory slots), you can do most anything you want. Pretty decent timings (latency & bandwidth) and seem rock stable thus far.

Cons: They can run a little hot if pushed hard. The heat spreaders can only do so much, so you'll need a method to get some air moving over them, especially if you have two sticks right next to each other where it gets tight for air to get in between.

Overall Review: After a failed attempt with a pair of G.Skill memory modules (my fault for not thoroughly checking the QVL), I went back to the list and found these sticks. Popped them in and set the EXPO 1 profile in the BIOS. I have yet to see any sort of memory related failure. Best I can tell, these sticks are the real-deal for a basic dual-channel 5600 MT/s configuration. I recommend them for the ASRock B650 boards running Ryzen 7000 series processors. Maybe a little expensive for someone that isn't interested in overclocking, but considering the stability and how much memory 64GB is, I think they're worth it.

Pros: If your motherboard doesn't have RGB, but you have a fan, pump or case lightning that needs illumination control, this little gizmo is quite handy. There are several color patterns you can select from and it's small size makes it possible to locate things however you may want. It's pretty much plug-and-play and does the job I needed from it.

Cons: Could it be a hair less expensive? Yeah. Could it have lots more color combinations? Yeah. Could it come with all sorts of cable adaptors? Yeah. Could it be upgradable in some way? Yeah.

Overall Review: Would I recommend it to others? Yeah. At least take a look. I totally stumbled on it, not knowing something like this even existed. Kind of niche item, but I'm glad I found it. Otherwise I wouldn't see my computer glowing in the corner of the room and might stumble over that, not good. With this device, you might find you have more options for motherboards and actually, in this case, I like being able to click a dedicated button instead of having to deal with software to change how my lighting looks.

Pros: I have done water cooling before and it was a PitA. This kit is different, simply bolt it on and power it up. I like simple and with this AIO, you get that. Temperatures are held down nicely and the case doesn't look crowded or cluttered when you're finished. The fans and pump run without excessive noise. Power draw is low enough to connect directly to your motherboard. Hoses and wiring is the proper length for many installations. Mounting is a breeze with included retrofit hardware. You also get a bottle of fluid for refill which should be a good thing unless you find yourself opening it in less than a years time.

Cons: The only RGB this unit has is on the water block. If you want flashy colors on the fans, keep your wallet open. Also, the water block only, has flashy colors, no temperature display. For my system, this is exactly what I wanted, but likely not for many others. It wasn't explicitly a Con for me, but this unit has the feel you need to be careful with it to get maximum cooling and not damage it. If you let the bull in the china-shop do your assembly, you may discover the biggest down-side to water cooling... Leaks! Treat it with respect and you should be fine. As Cons go, the price might deter many. I bought this because I wanted to try an AIO and the features matched what I was willing to accept. If it wasn't such a good fit, I would have spent my money elsewhere.

Overall Review: If you want to improve your cooling solution and prefer just a small tad of bling, this AIO water cooler might be your ticket. For the price, this needs to fit your recipe pretty much spot-on, otherwise I would avoid. If you do choose to purchase it and it works out for you as well as it has for me, I think you will conclude it was money well spent. So far I have no complaints.

Pros: AMD EXPO rated and I was able to achieve DDR-5200 speed while being stable. Uses 1.1 volts 48GB is nothing to sneeze at for just a tad over 100 dollars.

Cons: I'm noticing where the 16GB and 32GB sticks show up on many QVLs, these 24GB sticks do not. Not quite certain why that is. If your motherboard doesn't explicity show these modules on their list for the processor you are using, I highly caution purchasing them. Close enough won't necessarily cut it. May not be a Con, but probably not a Pro either being Samsung chips under those rather average heat spreaders. I wouldn't personally attempt to OC these sticks. If you can get stable dual-channel EXPO speed, be happy, you might be one of the lucky ones. Also, G.Skill has a memory configurator available on the web. If this webapp states these modules will work with your motherboard, don't stop there, look at the motherboard QVL.

Overall Review: If you find these parts listed on your motherboard QVL, they will probably get you where you want to go; if not listed, I would avoid buying them. The high-speed signalling required to make DDR5 work properly is quite complicated when you get down to the electronic engineering and signal integrity issues involved. Voltage and timing is only part of the story. How the traces on the motherboard are routed between the CPU socket and the memory sockets, along with power and shielding is still more art than science. Unintended signal crossover, signal reflections, damping, all play a crucial role in having a fast and stable computing platform. The memory sticks have a specific characteristic and that characteristic must match with the rest of the system or you will not end up with something you're happy with. Ask me how I know.
