Pros: Absolutely no problems installing, quiet and quick. Bundled software a plus. Able to make 25gb permanent backups for only one dollar.

Cons: Maybe more expensive than the cut-rate ones.

Overall Review: Hopefully, the 50gb blanks will come down from their 10 dollar sticker soon.

Pros: This super low-latency memory, 3-4-3-12 timing. The memory timing worked in my Asus Striker ExMB. The memory is rated for 2.4v, but after two weeks at that setting the memory failed. Special fans included with the kit were installed. My guess is most people just use the SDP settings at the default motherboard settings and do not setup to the spec numbers. The units are RMA'ed.

Cons: Probably do not want to run at rather high spec voltage of 2.4v. Better to dial back until timing breaks.

Overall Review: Have some spare memory sticks around while your parts are doing the RMA lap.

Pros: This was my second choice after Samsung could not deliver on time their 960 SSD devices. The motherboard, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, recognized the Intel 750 as bootable and was able to install Win10 Pro with default drivers. Intel's included small size disk appeared to be useless. Tested IO rates were on par with advertised values.

Cons: The Intel 750 series bios/firmware update method was confusing at best. The included desktop app, Intel SSD Toolbox is NOT the method to update the firmware. The actual method is found by wondering Intel webpages until you find a process where a boot DVD or USB stick is created and then boot the PC from it to perform the update.

Overall Review: The drive had a hard crash about 8 months in, would not be seen in the bios of two different machines. Intel was good about it s 5-year warranty and replaced the unit, but no one likes the down time. While waiting for replacement, installed another SSD M2 drive from competitor. Unfortunately, the Intel drive ended up on online auction because it only works in motherboards with PCIE 4x slots, generally only available in the last two years.

Pros: System built on a Asus Maximus VIII motherboard. Extremely easy setup, in my case transferring OS from backup archive

Cons: Expensive

Overall Review: Installed Samsung Magician software and functions well. Added an addition 10% of usable space as over partition -- on a 2TB drive most people can afford this extra feature.

Pros: Loaded with Intel 6700K, 64gb G.Skill 3200C DDR4, Intel 750 series PCIe SSD and Nvidia M4000 Quadro. Build was relatively easy and was able to get a bios screen in about 2-3 hours. With just a couple of bios tweaks, was able to run at 4.5ghz, just to say so. Didn't really use the included Asus because in Win10 pro the setting as administrator are not passed to standard users. The bios update from USB worked without OS installed as advertised. Did not really use the colored LED features since the PC box did not have a window side.

Cons: A couple of the screw tiedowns to the PC Box were difficult to lower a screw into because of the higher level shielding plate. However, the shielding was appreciated as additional device protection. Remember to install anything under the water cooler fans on the motherboard before screwing down the fans in the back of the PC box

Overall Review: Even with the rather high price, I would recommend this product.

Pros: Bought four of these 8tb drives and all were fine and powered up.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great archive and movie storage choice at an affordable price.
