G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C18D-64GTRS

Pros: Fast. Looks great. Super fancy. So good I bought it again.

Cons: Installation requires the calloused hands of a working man. Literally, the heat sinks are pretty sharp. It required a little more force to install than I was comfortable with, but that could be the board. Don't have another module to compare... Forgive the lack of rigor but I'm pretty busy lately.One of the LED strips has become a little loose.

Overall Review: It looks amazing in my build. It's fast. Having 128GB of ram is "luxurious" after developing on boxes with 8-16GB for years. I'm starting to consider using in-memory databases.

Why don't companies make things that work anymore?

GIGABYTE AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD 1TB M.2 2280 PCI-Express 4.0 x4 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Dual Side Copper GP-ASM2NE6100TTTD
GIGABYTE AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD 1TB M.2 2280 PCI-Express 4.0 x4 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Dual Side Copper GP-ASM2NE6100TTTD

Pros: 1TB SSD. PCI4. Copper heat sink looks good in my build, almost looks like rosegold. Super fast. But when it fails, which is evidently after 3-4 weeks, it fails hard, and it takes your data with it.

Cons: Worked for about a month then failed hard. First windows wouldn't boot, now BIOS won't even detect it, it sees my other NVMe SSDs so i know it's not the board or BIOS settings.Can't even mount it to image it and do a recovery or a proper wipe for a return.You're basically paying for the heat sink, I'm just gonna smelt some pennies and dip a better drive in that next time.

Overall Review: Well, considering it failed after a month and took somewhere between 80-160 hours of work with it.. I mean, what am I really expected to say here?
