Fast & Keeps Working
Pros: 4/22/16 Update: 2yrs now w/out any issues... 6 months now with daily use and still going strong with no issues. No installation issues (this is an OEM drive, no cables, no mounting hardware). Installed Win 7 Home 64bit without any issues. Boots system in under 10 sec. I've never had a boot problem. ASUS Z87 & Core i5 4570
Cons: I'm a simple user so I don't know what to do with the advance features of an SSD. Also, I don't run speed tests so I can't say if the data rate is up to spec. Suffice it to say that for the lay person this drive is fast and reliable.
Overall Review: I hear of all of the troubles others are having with SSDs crapping out. The reviews of this one says it all. That's why I bought it. Reliable (at least for 6mo now) and fast. Will update in another 6mo.
Inexpensive & Works. Happy
Pros: 4/22/16 Update: 6mo. w/out any issues... Stays in my ear. I don't have to yell to be heard, but have to talk louder than normal while driving (but I do anyway, so ok for me). Sound is acceptable. Computer voice tells me when connected and disconnected.
Cons: None really. This is my first BT ear piece so I don't have anything to compare with. Very happy with this $13 investment.
Overall Review: Using old iPhone 4. Paired and connected without any issue. Connects immediately with iPhone when I turn on the headset. I don't have any needs beyond the basics of talking on the phone while driving.
Works Well and Reliable
Pros: 4/22/16 Update: 2yrs now without any issues... Using for 6mo now w/out any issues. Installed and setup easy. No drive loading issues. Core i5 4570, so no over clocking. Boots fast from SSD running Win 7 Home 64bit. Decided to get this over the H87 due to good price and reviews.
Cons: No issues to report. Haven't attempted a FW upgrade. No reason to chance it, if one is available. Current features work fine for me and very stable.
Simple to Setup Fast & Reliable
Pros: 4/22/16 Update: 2yrs now without any issues... 6mo w/out any issues. Running with ASUS Z87 mobo & no graphics card. Integrated graphics are fine for a home office. Fast and reliable. Decided to not get the unlocked version, but kept the Z87 because of its reviews and price.
Cons: Win 7 Home 64bit has attempted on several occassions to upgrade Intel Core i5 graphics driver and it always fails. Not sure what's going on here, so I've disable that update. Operationally, there aren't any issues.
Good Price & Reliable
Pros: 4/22/16 Update: 2yrs now without any issues... Good price w/ rebate ($29 total). Running 6mo now w/out any issues. My system only requires 280W, so I'm not demanding much from the P/S. High quality design and manufacturing. Easy to install. No cable management issues. Bought Bronze for medium grade system longevity and reliability.
Cons: None to report. Corsair Bronze should go the distance.
Overall Review: I over spec'd by 200W, but wanted room to grow into a power hungry video card. Using Core i5-4570 integrated graphics for now. Amazingly fast for home business use.
No Issues, Worked As Expected
Pros: MS Office 2010, 3-PC. Arrived on time. Was packaged in the official MS box & sealed All three licenses activated without any issue. 1st on Win7 64b Pro, 2nd on Win 7 64b Home and 3rd on XP 32b Pro.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: The Ribbon takes some time getting use to. It occupies more of the banner that I would like. I would rather have drop down menus instead. Coming from Office 97 and 2003, I'd say that Office 2010 is worth the investment. Don't believe I'll be going to Office 2013 any time soon.
Excellent Shipping: On Time & Well Packaged
Ordered a Plantronics replacement headband and the shipping was on time and product was packaged with consideration. Came in a sturdy FedExp box. Product was as expected, sealed and in perfect condition. On top of that, shipping was free. Highly recommend this seller.
