AHCI and Firmware!

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD256BW
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD256BW

Pros: Very fast!

Cons: Look at "Other thoughts"

Overall Review: I WAS getting some lock-ups and not insane speed UNTIL I went to the Samsung website and downloaded Samsung Magician software which lets you update the firmware and then changed to AHCI mode in BIOS and it works FANTASTIC now! <<Dont forget to do these things!

Most Critical Review

Slowest Flash Drive Ever

DANE-ELEC 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Capless (Aqua) DA-ZMP-32G-CA-A1-R
DANE-ELEC 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Capless (Aqua) DA-ZMP-32G-CA-A1-R

Pros: It's OK if you loose it

Cons: My wife bought one of these and it is the slowest flash drive I've ever seen in my life. If you want to put something like a movie on it, you might as well just watch the movie because it will take the same amount of time. Seriously, its unbearably slow

Overall Review: My wife named hers "Fred"

WARNING, coil whine

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 04G-P4-2986-RX
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 04G-P4-2986-RX

Pros: This is a beast of a card, works really really good. Overclocks very well

Cons: 1) If you're planning on water cooling this card, forget about it. There are no "full blocks" for this card. I got a universal 980 block that cools the processor but not the other components and have been running it like that for a while with no problems but you should be a little smarter than that and just get a non "FTW" board so that you can get a full block and 2) This card DOES have some coil whine. Its really not terrible but its gotten worse the longer I've had it and it can sometimes be bothersome. If you're the type of person that can stand high pitched whines, try a different card.

Overall Review: Still a really great card if you dont mine the later 2 cons

Finally Dead (almost 6 years)

Western Digital Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: *Lasted almost 6 years of what I would call hard use, I personally thought it would last longer than 6 but I cant complain too much I suppose

Cons: *Lasted almost 6 years *By the time SMART threw up a warning on the drives life ending some of the files were already too corrupted to move over to another drive

A fair review

Logitech LS21 7 Watts RMS (FTC) 2.1 Stereo Speaker System - Black
Logitech LS21 7 Watts RMS (FTC) 2.1 Stereo Speaker System - Black

Pros: I got these speakers second hand from someone for Free who probably used them for a while, and now after another 4 years, yeah, they are not AWESOME or anything but still... They work, they are reliable.

Cons: Sometimes you have to give the subwoofer a little kick to make the sound start working correctly again. And I would NEVER pay $80 for these, which is currently what I see them listed for. Probably would give $30 for them

FACTS about the lifespan of this drive

WD Green WD30EZRX 3TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
WD Green WD30EZRX 3TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Lots of storage, speed was fast enough to hold all my movies and tv which is all I used it for.

Cons: I just got a warning of this drive about to fail, as it stands right now it has 528 "Power On' counts and 23960 hours on. I find this disappointing considering my 1tb WD Black still works great at 1225 "Power On" counts and 41739 hours on and thats not to mention the WD Black was tortured in comparison.
