Beautiful case. Youd better be a pro at cable management.

Pros: Looks, air flow, construction, performance

Cons: Cable management is a little tight.

Overall Review: Beautiful case and well put together. The two 180 fans move some air! I added a Noctua 120 in the rear for exhaust and two Noctua 120 slims in the bottom for extra intake. Its built to be a positive pressure case, and it does the job very well. Behind the motherboard tray, there isnt a lot of room for lazy cable management. Itd help a lot if you had flat cables, or loose cable bundles, I dont know if Id use cable extensions, you may have a problem tucking in the excess. I used some Cablemod cables and didnt have too much of a problem, other than the GPU power cables being a little shorter than Id like- I think it has to do with the top mounted power supply. My NH-D15 and 6800 XT fit fine, so theres room for activities.

Works great!

Pros: Fast, small, fast, fast

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great deal for a fast little M.2 SSD boot drive. Read/Writes are fast and flawless. Windows 10 install was a breeze.

A good all-around SSD for the price.

Pros: Good read and write times for SATAII. Firmware up-datable. Supports TRIM -with Chameleon Works in MacBook Pro Has a WARRANTY (at time of writing) Has tough sounding name. I can throw it almost 500 feet, its so light. Comes with super sweet sticker.

Cons: It doesn't make coffee or sandwiches. Makes a horrible room mate, never picks up after itself. I tried it as an alarm clock one morning and it sucked. -Made me almost two hours late for work! Oh, and don't trust it alone with your girlfriend.

Overall Review: A really good SSD for the price. Made my MBP a lot snappier and apps load faster, etc...

Quiet and fast

Pros: as mentioned in the title, its quiet and fast. Installed in my MacBook Pro along with an SSD. Read and write speeds seem fast, and the price seems fair. I actually have two of these, one which came out of a Toshiba Canvio 3.0 portable hard drive I bought from my local store with Mart in the name. Exact same hard drive, but it was actually only 53.97 there and you get a USB 3.0 enclosure.

Cons: None found so far.

Overall Review: A note on other reviews made on this item: How can you write a review (even if its a positive one) on a product that you don't own or have never even seen? I don't know what the other guys problem was, but both of mine show a 499.76GB drive capacity, which is close enough to 500 for me.
