Pros: Price is affordable, Reliable thus far, Fast, Western Digital. I have Windows 7 64bit intalled on two of these in a RAID0 for our HTPC media center and I have no complaints.

Cons: Refurbaphobia = fear of recertified products

Overall Review: I was skeptical because there are some flaky VeloiRaptors out there on the market. But with two of these in RAID0 you've got 600GBs at near SSD speeds.

Pros: Not sure really...

Cons: The blue fades and is stuck to the insides of tubing and my expensive water cooling hardware.

Overall Review: Would not use this product again

Pros: Relatively fast, Reliable up until it just quit a few days ago.

Cons: No longer recognized in BIOS on any computer after 4 years and 1 month of use.

Overall Review: Backup your data if you buy this.

Pros: Quiet, Which seems to be the top selling feature of this unit. Braided cables was a personal preference. Modular cabling, plus the fact that they attach midway rather than at the top leaving room for a 25mm fan if top mounted. Price was reasonable before the holidays.

Cons: My only con is I wanted to purchase another one but the price has gone up $10 for Black Friday weekend. And, while looking through my purchase history, most items purchased before the holiday season have gone up. Some on sale or with a rebate that brings the purchase price down to what it was prior to the holiday season.

Overall Review: I will have to wait for the holidays to be over for prices to get back to normal and I can justify buying another one of these. Have a safe and happy Markup season.

Pros: Attractive looking board. Paired with the i3-4330 it out performs my water cooled, OCed, QX6850 setup running at 4.2 GHz. USB 2.0 at very top for keyboard and mouse ensures reliable input verses driver dependent USB 3.0. Two PCIe X 1 slots (1 usable) for modern hardware because for me old PCI slots are a waste of space. M.2 support for M.2 PCIe up to 10Gb/s under UEFI option ROM will be nice in the near future. Runs 8GBs DDRIII 1866 Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer at 1600 MHz without issues. This board's UEFI BIOS is easy to navigate and has lots of options. Two BIOS updates executed smoothly from UEFI update and thumb drive.

Cons: Could not use in a slim Pixxo case as originally planned due to the side SATA ports directly against power supply housing. Purchased this in part because the description stated support for RAM faster than DDRIII 1600 but that appears to be misinformation after contacting MSI. No support for XP 64bit which is the OS I use most frequently and dual-boot alongside Windows 7 on my personal machine.

Overall Review: Could not use this board as originally intended to replace an ailing AMD HTPC (later found the Pyro SSD responsible). Will toy around with this for a while.

Pros: Looks cool, Antec Tri-cool fit like a glove on it. Nearly unlimited mounting options. It kept an overclocked North bridge 15*C cooler than stock. I'm a firm believer in direct touch coolers

Cons: Had to buy a windowed case so I can look at this puppy

Overall Review: Next best thing to water
