Pros: Consistent performance Fantastic build quality Best price to performance ratio

Cons: NONE!

Overall Review: These drives are my favorite. The speed is always consistent and even on USB 2.0 you get good results. I've had one of these go through the washer and dryer on more than one occasion and it still works as good as new. The build quality is phenomenal! I will keep buying these as long as they are available! I bought this particular 128gb drive for storing large MP4 files for a client and couldn't be happier with the write speed. They perform excellent for playback from the drive as well. The latest S102 drives are USB 3.2 instead of USB 3.0. Since I don't own any PCs with USB 3.2 ports yet my benchmark is from a USB 3.0. I can only imagine 3.2 would be even better though I couldn't be happier with the results I get on 3.0 at the price of these drives.

Pros: Realiable, Type C front connection, PCI-E 4

Overall Review: You won't go wrong with a MSI board (though I'm more of a ASRock fan). No real cons for this board. It does what it should and does it well. The inclusion of a Type C front port connector and SSD heatsink is nice. I'm not a huge fan of the MSI bios menu layout, but it's personal preference and not a con. For the right price it does just fine.

Pros: Reliable, slim, and good timings

Overall Review: Does what it should and does it well. Team for me is a reliable brand and I have no problems using them when the price and performance meets my needs.

Pros: Roughly 10% better performance over the Ryzen 7 5700X - minuscule, but in case anyone cares to know.

Cons: Higher temps than a Ryzen 7 5700X so it requires a beefier cooler.

Overall Review: These last AM4 CPUs are still contenders for budget gaming and production. If you can get a good bundle deal then it makes it even better. If you're buying one of these now instead of a newer CPU you're obviously aware of the limitations and performance differences, but if you're on a budget and can get one of these at a lower price than a Ryzen 7 5700X (my personal choice - temps are super low and easy to cool) then it's nothing to sneeze at and remains a 5 out of 5 on a budget. In this case I used it to build a media PC for a local church.

Pros: Consistently fast speed Fast even on USB 2.0 Extremely durable build quality

Cons: NONE!

Overall Review: I absolutely love these flash drives. I've had them for years and they always yield consistent results. They're consistently fast and nearly impossible to kill. I've had one go through the washing machine and dryer on more than one occasion and it never phased it. I will keep buying these as long as they're available! The latest S102 drives are USB 3.2 instead of USB 3.0. Since I don't own any PCs with USB 3.2 ports yet my benchmark is from a USB 3.0. I can only imagine 3.2 would be even better though I couldn't be happier with the results I get on 3.0 at the price of these drives.

Overall Review: I bought two of these 120gb drives to put into our older laptops from 2009 with the intention of letting our kids use them for homeschool purposes. That being said it wasn't necessary to have a lot of storage. I installed Linux Mint on them. So far so good. The ports on these computers are SATA II (3gbps), but of course these still perform much faster than traditional HDDs. These drives do not come with DRAM, but it's not a con, because at the price they're not intended to be top tier performers and include top tier features. These are obviously made to be a good budget drive. If anyone buys these drives for computers that can make use of higher performance then they're not doing their research and missing the point. As long as these drives continue to hold up I wouldn't hesitate to buy more for putting a bit of new life into older PCs. They seem to do just fine for that. For anyone wondering what to expect with these drives in a SATA II port, see the benchmark score I've attached from KDiskMark.
