Pros: I installed this in an older sata 2 motherboard. First I installed it then restarted the PC, windows then installed the necessary updates. I shut down the PC and disconnected the sata cable from the motherboard and connected it to a port on the controller card. Restarted the PC and that was it. I now have a sata 3 running PC. Re-ran windows WEI and it went from a Disk Data rate transfer rate score of 7.5 to 7.9.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I believe some people who've rated this product low because of it not working didn't know how to install it correctly. The enclosed dvd download was not needed for windows 7 in my PC.

Pros: Couldn't find one.

Cons: Bought this to replace a 1090t thinking 8 cores would be better than 6. It was a total dissapointment. I returned it and reinstalled the 1090t.

Overall Review: If you like AMD CPU's, don't waste your time on the bulldozers. Wait for the next generation, it may be better.

Pros: Very easy installation, hardly any updates after install. Will only use this OS for gaming rig for now. Needed to install Direct X manually since it's not included in updates. Seems to run very smoothly, and with intel 6700k (OC 4.5) , Z170X mobo and 980 ti hybred, it's a beast in gaming.

Cons: Although I'm using this for gaming, I still don't like the spyware. Had to do quite a bit to turn off most of it, one egg minus for that.

Overall Review: May have to eventually install this in my other PCs, but will wait until I can turn off all the spyware in this OS. If that is at all possible.

Pros: Very easy to install and dropped my temps 10c+.

Cons: Nothing really, the fans that came with it were a bit noisy. I swapped them out with another set and now it's a bit quieter.

Pros: Inexpensive, works. My two favorite things when buying any product.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Very easy to transfer existing data from a smaller card to this one using provided reader. I've never done it before and it took just a few minutes to learn how and do it,

Pros: Bought my first one from another source and second from newegg. This is a must for hdd users if you don't want to use raid. It's quick to set up and makes a world of difference in start-ups and apps.

Cons: If I ever find one I'll be back.

Overall Review: This is a very inexpensive alternative to buying a regular SSD for a boot drive.
