Pros: Excellent drive.

Cons: Please run firmware update tool in Windows available at http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/223651en for download.

Pros: Reliable, with ASMedia chip.

Cons: SATA III speed not likely supported in PCI-e 2.0 slot due to the limitations of PCI-e 2.0. Remember, any specification"s advertised speed with be about 20% lower due to overhead bits. An onboard SATA II (300 MB/s) will therefore run about 250 MB/s max. Though PCIe 2.0 advertises 500 MB/s, each direction (read & write) only runs @ 250 MB/s; read speeds will actually be reduced an additonal 20%, to about 190 MB/s, and writes (which are always a little slower) to about 150 MB/s. It is not surprising than that many reviewers think they are "upgrading" from onboard SATA II to a PCI-e SATA III card, but find that their SSD speeds are actually slower.

Overall Review: Admittedly, there is a bit of false promise made in the advertising. It's not the fault of your motherboard, this card, the manufacturer or NewEgg. The slower bandwidth is just the cost of doing business in the computer world!

Pros: Stable, cool, quiet. Great driver support. Reliable.

Cons: Does not support much older, 4-prong, DVI cables.

Pros: Powerful yet quiet. Adjustable. USB ports.

Cons: None. I've used many other coolers on the market and this one is by far the best.

Pros: Excellent viewing angle! Clear & crisp, even when brightness is set low. Uniform color consistency across the entire panel. Easy buttons location and usage. "Dynamic Contrast" setting makes photos look outstanding. Lightweight. Panel and power supply run cool. Text is smoother than previous models. Tilt function is smooth and professional. Best Samsung monitor yet for $300 and under!

Cons: A bit wobbly. Does not swivel side-to-side. Like any other monitor in this price range, you really should calibrate with hueyPro software to get the most out of pictures (which is easy to do).

Overall Review: I was using the previous 27" monitor from Samsung, S27A550H, and this new one is MUCH nicer and well worth the upgrade. Be sure to use hueyPRO software to calibrate . . . you will love the quality of your pictures!

Pros: Great feature set, very stable. Easy setup, easy configuration interface - identical interface to the low-end WGR-614 everybody uses.

Cons: When using the 2.4 GHz band, disable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia settings) in order to avoid sluggish/sputtering download speeds. Go to 192.168.1.1, "QoS Setup" on the left, then uncheck "Enable WMM settings (2.4GHz b/g/n)". This setting seems to make no difference on YouTube videos. WMM works fine on the 5 GHz band.

Overall Review: I measured the main chip at 48 degrees Celcius (118 Fahrenheit) with my infrared thermometer. I excepted cooler from this high-end model.
