Works perfectly.

Pros: Every aspect of this burner works well. Reading and writing of CDs, DVDs, and BDs has gone smoothly at reasonable speeds. Drive is quieter than any other I've owned.
Cons: People don't know what OEM means and keep giving this thing bad reviews because it doesn't come with a cable or software.
Overall Review: I'm not a fan of the blu-ray company, and I'm thankful that ASUS does not include blu-ray software with this drive. It would have been yet another licensing fee to include software, which would have been passed on to us. This is a high-quality drive for a great price.
Very poor software.

Pros: It worked....sometimes....for small files and folders... The mail-in rebate came in ok.
Cons: We set it to back up a 300 GB share on a Windows 2003 server. It would hang or crash every time it got to ~67% complete, on a different file each time.
Overall Review: Now, switching to one of their competitors.
Working Great

Pros: Everything is well built and delivering power (just over 380W at load while gaming with 5060ti) without any hiccups.
Cons: Only 1 8-pin CPU power
Overall Review: I used this to build a gaming PC with my 12yo son, and everything installed smoothly without any issues. Everything is working flawlessly. This review for ASRock review rebate program.
Good

Pros: Works great for a budget DVR. PSU, card reader, and layout is easy to build in.
Cons: Some pieces of plastic covering were not cut out correctly from the card slot area - easily removed
Overall Review: This one's on Newegg, not XION: the shipping label was covering the UPC, making it impossible to cut out the UPC for the mail-in rebate. Attempting to remove the shipping label from the UPC sticking to the back of the shipping label in an unremovable way. A call to Newegg support resolved this issue. Be cognizant of the rebate requirements if it is involved in your buying decision - this is the THIRD case in the past year from Newegg that I was unable to get the UPC off of.
Great PSU

Pros: I have purchased 4 of this model of PSU, and have not had any failure. Very reliable rebate. I have performed 14 Corsair rebates in the past 3 years, 4 of them were for this product. Of those, 10 have been received, 3 are approved and will be in soon, and the most recent one is about to be mailed off by me.
Cons: Not enough SATA power connectors for one of the builds. One of the rebates was originally rejected because the rebate processor looked at the EAN instead of the UPC. Make sure you send in the UPC ONLY so as not to confuse the rebate processor. A "resubmission" and 20-minute phone call resolved this issue. It's very bad form of the rebate processor to make you send in copies of the material that they already have, but I did eventually receive the rebate.
Bad company, OK software

Pros: The software is sufficient for protecting your computer.
Cons: If you purchase an extra license and try to sell it on an auction site, ESET will fraudulently claim that you are infringing on their copyright. Your account will have a non-compliance strike with popular auction sites, you won't be able to sell your product, and ESET will continue making fraudulent accusations against you until you stop. This is a terribly dishonest company, and their actions prove that they can't be trusted with my computer's security. ESET (in the US) doesn't care what their parent company is doing, and their public relations team does not answer requests. ESET attempts to remove all negative reviews by any means necessary.
Overall Review: Let's see if they try to get my comment removed as a "copyright violation" as they have been attempting to do on other forums...
