Pros: Provides good, clean, power. It's also very quiet. Very impressed with the fan inside.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I used this in a build with a SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum front panel, 0.8 mm SECC body Lascala Series LC20B-M ATX Media Center / HTPC Case. It was VERY tricky. Best fit in large towers. My build: 1, Intel BOXDZ68BC LGA 1155 Intel Z68 4, Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM (RAID 5) 2, SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256D/AM SSD (RAID 1) 1, Seagate Expansion 3TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive (backup) 1, CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 1, High Current Pro HCP-750 750W TX12V v2.3 Power Supply Running: Windows Server 2008 R2, MS Exchange 2010, Yosemite Server Backup 9.1 IIS, DHCP, DNS, Etc...

Pros: - None.

Cons: - Unreliable. - Never really worked properly after purchase.

Overall Review: Works in USB2.0 ports but does not work in USB3 ports at all. Tried everything, updating my USB drivers etc.. I know my ports aren't defective because other thumb drives and peripherals work flawlessly. Highly unsatisfied with this product. Tested with a brand new and verified working WD Red 10TB drive.

Pros: Solid board, was actually able to leverage it for server use. Works fine with no issues.

Cons: The SATA ports are parallel with the board. I would have prefer them be perpendicular. I also would have liked them to be ALL 3 and Intel.

Overall Review: Used this board as the core of my build and it worked out great with an Intel i7 Processor. I was able to get it working as a server with all the drivers installed.

Pros: Comes with everything you need to mount it in a 2.5 format factor slot. Easy install took me 1 minute.

Cons: The plastic handles are something to be wary about. If you're like me though this won't be an issue because you rarely should have to swap drives.

Overall Review: Worked out great for my build using the 2.5 slot in a SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum front panel, 0.8 mm SECC body Lascala Series LC20B-M ATX Media Center / HTPC Case.

Pros: Fast. Reliable.

Cons: The heat sinks are obtrusively high.

Overall Review: This memory is great. In my build it was a bit tricky due to my case choice. The heat sinks are just crazy high. Make sure you have clearance and plan ahead when you combine this with a motherboard + case.

Pros: - Fast. Once you go SSD your won't go back. - Reliable. This kit came with everything I need to mount it.

Cons: Cost. This technology needs to come down.. down in cost.

Overall Review: Absolutely love these drives. Purchased 2 for a RAID 1 configuration in a server. Regardless of what the pros vs cons are in regards to a server use you won't be disappointed. As long as you're not storing large DB files on them and using them as boot/system drives only they are great. My server boots in 35 seconds flat, to ready login, with Exchange 2010 on it.
