Perfect for thin cases
Pros: Decent length at 18", right angle which helps in my situation where space is a premium.
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: When connecting to a hard drive, the cable points down for the 90 degree end in case anyone was wondering. Cheap and recommend!
Good value, DOA unfortunately
Pros: -Cheap -Low power usage -Small amount of heat -Small footprint
Cons: Unfortunately, I got a DOA device which I'm currently RMA'ing through Newegg now. I can't rate this otherwise for quality due to this but the device never worked from the get-go. Plugged it in to multiple routers/switches/computers, multiple cables and multiple outlets without any luck on getting the interfaces to connect. I don't believe a 1 star is fair due to being a DOA so 2 will be the judgement here.
Overall Review: Probably would buy again as others have had good luck with this including a friend of mine. Hoping the next one is solid!
Lots of hard drives
Pros: Perfect for daisy chaining multiple hard drives or SATA drives together. Used two of these for 6 drives in a case for a fileserver.
Cons: Only issue I ran into was that the cable isn't all that flexible. This wouldn't be a problem, but you cannot connect hard drives in bays right next to each other in a case with one of these cables.
Overall Review: I ended up using two cables and going every other hard drive to actually plug them all in. Not a huge deal but enough to knock a star off.

Backbone for home network
Pros: Fast and stable. Also came with mounting hardware for a rack. Another thing not mentioned were the additional 2 SFP ports on the switch.
Cons: None I've found so far
Overall Review: Running this with a number of servers (fileservers and ESXi whiteboxes) and this holds up with multiple computers using as much bandwidth as possible. Definitely recommend.
Simple
Pros: Cord for charger for charging is decent length. Charge packs hold up for a while of gaming (one ten hour session included).
Cons: Only one cable is included with the 2 power packs, so keep that in mind when buying this.
Overall Review: Wish I knew it was only one cable before buying, but still a good deal for two batteries for everything. Still recommend.
