Pros: - Sturdy design feels solid in hand. - Flexibility of both USB-C and USB-A without adapters - Compact but easy to handle if you have to reach behind computer or awkward angle port - Plastic caps snap securely - 1TB at this speed/price is a great value - Speed test: - MacBook Pro Thunderbolt 4: 1570MB/s (write), 925MB/s (read) - USB-A 3.1 Hub (peripheral): 621MB/s (write), 325MB/s (read) - Windows 11 USB-A 3.2: 452MB/s (write), 465MB/s (read)

Cons: - USB-A 3.2 speeds could be better - Two caps to keep track of

Overall Review: My use is primarily on the USB-C end with Thunderbolt so I am very happy with read/write speeds. For convenience the USB-A port is more than fast enough for occasional use. This is my first drive from TEAM, replacing a Kingston DataTraveler with push out flimsy design that keeps breaking. Overall very happy with this product.

Pros: Extremely fast boot-up time. Applications load quicker than my 7200RPM drives in RAID-0! Silent. No heat. Minimal power required.

Cons: Doesn't store much

Pros: Quality board top to bottom and makes for a good transition board for the older LGA775 CPU's. Instructions are complete and very thorough as a reference.

Cons: RAM slots are split: 2 for DDR2 and 2 for DDR3. So forget about using 4 sticks of RAM.

Overall Review: No frills board but has optical-out built in and the Realtek audio controller is solid. SATA ports are out of the way of PCI slots.

Pros: Zero compatibility issues with nVIDIA chipset. Installed in my home media server in minutes - no driver issues with Vista x64. Up and running with over 700GB of HD movies. Zero problems. Runs cool like my previous Samsung (500GB) drives. Quietest drives I've ever owned.

Cons: Doesn't mow the lawn

Overall Review: Not sure why so many complaints about this drive. I suspect some are misinformed about system building and storage.

Pros: Picked this up in place of the EVGA 680i A1 which is out-of-stock (and $100 more) everywhere. Superb board layout - especially nice for upside down ATX mount (Lian Li 1XXX series). No problem installing or booting. Had to bump the RAM voltage up to 2.1V to run 4 dual channel sticks. Plan to start overclocking this weekend but wanted to warm up the hardware first. So far 100% satisfied with another great XFX product!

Cons: Chipset runs too hot without fan. I was averaging 70C heatsink alone. Added included chipset fan at 40% (bios controlled) and my temps now average 41C and the fan is too quiet to hear!

Overall Review: Lian-Li PC-1000B, Core2 Quad Q6600, OCZ Plt Rev 2 DDR2-800 (4 X 1GB), eVGA 8800GTS 320MB Superclocked, Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer, Seagate 2X 250GB SATA II RAID-0, Tagan TG-580 (580W) PSU, Cooling by Panaflo, Heatsinks by Thermalright

Pros: Great all-purpose card for HTPC setup. Plays back high-resolution video without a hitch. Completely fanless and not overgrown - perfect for the HTPC environment. Great bang for the buck! Compatible with ATI TV Wonder 650 including AVIVO support. Runs cool (65nm GPU) doesn't put off much heat. Component-out to HDTV works like a charm even in BIOS.

Cons: Haven't tried it gaming but from the reviews I've read, it's better than average for currently available games. AVIVO support doesn't seem to integrate into Vista as well as PureVideo codecs but thats just my opinion.

Overall Review: I was looking for a well-rounded card that would fit nicely and my HTPC. The PCB and heatsink is not overgrown like some passive combinations. With a properly vented HTPC case (mine is a mATX), you shouldn't expect difficulties with high temps.
