Pros: It fits in an Antec VSK-2000-U3 low profile case with nearly 10mm to spare. Not audible at all.

Cons: It doesn't make grilled cheese sandwiches.

Pros: From what I could tell, this compound was a bit higher in viscosity than other products I've used so it was easier to spread without making a huge mess. There is a LOT of product in the package, enough for dozens of applications, so call your friends and offer some for them if they want to freshen up their PC's compound.

Cons: Definitely not the top-shelf product when it comes to performance, but it works. This is good for enterprise use when you have a lot of systems to maintain, each system not being particularly high performance.

Pros: Slot-loading, which is a feature that isn't common and something I wanted for the low profile PC I had built.

Cons: Ejects through software only, so if you brick your laptop/PC, you'll need to plug it into another machine with OS if you want to get your disc back. If you have this drive in a PC and the drive is oriented vertically, the disc is ejected very comically. It's reminiscent of a waffle coming out of the toaster at high velocity, so be ready to catch your disc.

Pros: This was my first time building a PC with an M.2 SSD as the primary drive. The difference in performance is very impressive. The UEFI BIOS is much more intuitive than what I'm accustomed to, it's been a very long time since I've built a PC. The board seems very sturdy and everything is where it belongs, no routing cables into funny places.

Cons: This was my fault, but I was let down to find out that there is only one USB3.1 Gen1 connector. I needed an additional connector for the controller panel I had installed, so I had to order an additional USB3.1 controller card with a Gen1 connector on the back of the card.

Pros: Gets Windows 10 up and running in 14 seconds after pushing the power button, including BIOS. Without counting the BIOS it boots in 4 seconds. It's very convenient for the low-profile system I've used it in since the M.2 form factor is so small, it leaves an additional drive bay free.

Cons: Can't use on-board RAID controller, which was expected since "AHCI version" is in the title. If you want to set up a RAID array for your other drives, you'll need to buy a separate RAID controller card. It's a pain in the neck, but I didn't need RAID for this build.
