Pros: When the product first came out, reviewers rightly dinged it, the slot requirements sort of negated needing it as there is very little to no performance increase in having it cache another M2 drive, especially a 3 x 4 as its only a 3 x2 PCI lanes wide. Give Intel credit they listened and corrected the short coming, now you can tie it to a strict data drive and boost the performance to far faster than a sata3 SSD. Some will say SSD are cheap, really what does a 6 TB SSD cost? what about the 12 TB hard drive I have boosted, do they make a SSD that size? I use the drive for raw video files and Steam (2 TB and counting) and I can tell you the steam shell loads like its stored on my PCIe M2 drive, and on the second loading of the game you will see the difference, by the third loading it rocks! The size allows it to store a number of games so if I bounce to another game, come back to the first it still loads lightning fast.

Cons: Can be a bit tricky to set up, I used my MB vendors site, Intel's site, and uTube, spent maybe 30 minutes and installed it with no issues at all and its been problem free ever since. You need to use Intel's rapid store technology and let the RST have control over it and disable one function CMS I think it was.

Overall Review: yes I would recommend this product, if you are like me and your Steam drive is measured in TBs this item is the key to cutting load times and greatly improving performance. The raw video files and those are measured in TB's also load faster if I work with the same file more than once and the best part is when I load a game previously played, it still loads lightning fast due to 32G of space.

Pros: Comes with House and car power cords, the screen is large and seems bright enough. Fairly simple to use and provides two sets of head phone jacks. For playing music it does have a USB & SD port. Comes with remote control and a little biult in stand plays from my Ipod with no issues on the video or audio, no chop or static, nice picture as well (see but below)

Cons: The USB & SD slot work for movies but it is choppy depending on the transfer rate. Older SD card made every thing slow down plus choppy audio. Tried a brand new "high speed" USB drive, better but still got choppy audio. On the Ipod, I have to remove my clear protective case to get it to connect, the Ipod fits in with the case on, but the interface is not socketed deep enough and it continues to only kind of know and Ipod is there but never fully connects. With the case off no problems, looking at all my other Ipod devices that work with the case, it seems they all have the same length plug and even with the bracket they give to hold the Ipod in place, no go on the full connect with case on. It's just a Tad short and looks to be related to the Ipod interface provided and the plastic mount for the plug. With the clam shell open the screen is upside down, so just putting in the IPOD and leaving it open doesn't work either.

Overall Review: No setup features, SD & USB ports might be good for pictures or just music, but movies, maybe if you spend top dollar on the fastest USB & SD cards, but I'm not risking it to find out and I know mid and low level USB & SD devices won't cut it. Over all I am not ok with it, I really wanted to leave it one place and tranfer files to it using the USB drive and IPod once in a while. It seems I would need to use my Ipod always now and with out the protective cover as well. My guess, it will end up in a drawer not used and long forgotten because of these hassles. And ILuv products wont do so well in the future when under consideration for purchase. I write that as the Ipod fits in with the clam shell closed with the Ipod protective cover on, it seems it was designed to fit, just not to work. After that it plays and has speakers and works out of the box.

Pros: Worked right off, no hassles, fast and windows boots in 5 seconds. Doesn't get hot or throttle and has ran for a year no issues at all.

Overall Review: Samsung makes a good product, benchmarks show me the advertised speed and as a boot drive it's fast and takes the beating of writes without issues yet.

Pros: Easy to use, and works like a champ. Works so well I got two more to stabilize my work around for a 20 year old desk with a fixed size monitor spot. As I upgrade I soon couldn't fit them so I added a shelf sort of, used an old UPS as a counter weight and it worked up till upgrading to a 28 inch Asus, then it became wobbly. Adding two of these and viola solid! Just think if it can do that for this even a triple slot card will be no match.

Cons: none

Overall Review: cheap, sort of pretty in a steam punk way, holds my video card and now my video shelf easily and very well.

Pros: When it posts and the display works, it works, but that happy feeling does not last for every reboot is a risk, maybe it boots with out going safe mode, maybe the display is there, maybe not.

Cons: Bought two different memory sets off the QVL, neither of them will run XMP mode with out changing the settings and slowing them down. The display goes away and the CMOS battery has to be pulled to give a temporary fix, meaning if you enjoy pulling your PC apart every so often to pull the battery, you'll like this MB.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this product, it is sad because for many years I have used ASUS MBs for my system builds, not any more. The product is unstable as it looses the display, the QVL is no longer to be trusted, memory listed on it is not guaranteed to work. So if you can not trust the QVL and you need to pull the CMOS battery to get your display back every week, then only a fool would buy it. As for service and support, meaningless tripe when no real fix is offered, only temporary work arounds.

Pros: It is big with plenty of room, the extra nice things are it's ability to be disassembled. Example, the top radiator mounting surface comes off the frame so you can mount your fans or radiator and then mount it as an assembly versus trying to hold the bits in places while getting the enough screws started. While it has rivets, the places that make it easier to build are held by screws and you can strip it down to the frame. It is over built, heavy, not flimsy. It also allows for plenty of fans, radiators for cooling and due to its volume it doesn't heat the air as quickly like a smaller volume case so my settings as slower for my fans, quieter yet my MB and video card run cooler than my previous case. The wire run side has an inner door, that prevents circular air flow if the interior fan \ radiator mounts are used thus just recirculating the air inside the case to a percentage even though the outer door is vented.by those mounting points. I OC a lot and test cases for air flow and have seen this in the past with other cases, so it is not for aesthetics but an engineered feature to stop the viscous circle. Today's PC builds are like putting a 600 watt heater in a box, this one handles that!

Cons: As for draw backs, I found two, one it should have casters, I fixed that with a trip to H depot, bought a 10 x 24 inch self board, 4 casters, 2 pieces of molding for about 24 US. (molding provides a catch edges on the ends in case I push to hard across carpeted surfaces) The big plus for this is the power supply fan now has excellent air flow as the gap is not filled by carpet from sitting on the floor. The other con is a vent right above the rear vertical mounted exit fan. The horizontal rear most exhaust fan from my radiator does pull air from the outside due to this vent with the exit fan right below it. I blocked this vent with a bit of plastic to ensure all exhausted air doesn't get pulled back in. Verified this with a anemometer I use to test case air flows.

Overall Review: A great case, very well built, plenty of room, plenty of cooling options, allows me to run OC on my CPU and GPU and my current temps are 21c and 26c as I write this. Nice front panel with a type C for my card reader. Room for bling and pretties if you so decide. Some may think it is pricey but it is a value when looking at how well it is built, how easy it is to work with and how long you'll keep it once you see things I found. My B Hawk Ultra lasted 9 years and wasn't as well built as this one, it just cooled like I was sitting in Antarctica with a window open and this case is beating it's numbers hands down!
