Pros: USB 3.0, all the other slots i need, w/o the need for adapters. I'm hopeful that it's fast, but have yet to test the R/W speed of my SDXC cards, so I'll post again later.

Cons: It has 2 USB 3.0 cables that need to be connected an adapter for your Mobo's USB 3.0 header (see pictures). On the Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5, that header is right between the 24 pin power and a SATA port. The adapter supplied with this reader is too wide to fit. My only way to use reader it to pull out a PCI slot from my case, run the cables out the back and plugged into my 2 USB 3.0 ports on the back I/O panel. By doing this I lose 1 port, since this reader only offers 1 up front. I wish it had an adapter that had a Y cable so it would fit my header.

Overall Review: Caveat to losing a port: my Mobo came with a 3.5" adapter with 2 USB 3.0 ports, and it plugs into the header just fine. I wasn't going o use it since this reader needed it. Since this one had to routed out the back, I can use it. So I lose 1 total, but have 3 up front.

Pros: Been running 24/7 as my main OS drive, since I built this rig, last April. No hiccups with this drive since day one. Still has 50GB free. Loaded with Win7 Pro, Adobe CS5 Master Suite, Lightroom 4.4, Battlefield 3, VMWare Wrkstn, Office Enterprise, Qiuckbooks, Acronis, and lots of other cr@p. I multi task like a mother, running LR4, PS, Premiere, Encore, plus Chrome running tabs all at once. I feel this drive hangs with the cpu and ram just fine. I just need more storage space now.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: GIGABYTE GA-X79-UD5 LGA 2011 Intel X79 i7-3930K OC'd 4.0GHz Corsair H60 32Gb(4x8GB) G.Skill Ripjaw Sereis Z Ram 4 WD RE4 1TB in RAID 10 10GB RamDisk GIGABYTE GV-R585OC-1GD Radeon HD 5850 OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W PSU Antec 300 case Win7 Pro x64 3 Samsung 24" LED monitors

Pros: Eyefinity, triple monitor capable

Cons: Flickering when trying to push 3 monitors, and dual. I tried a few different ways to up the minimum clock speeds in the past, only through CCC, but never flashed the bios. The HDMI port alone connected to my monitor is fuzzy and color is off. It works ok using DVI cable with same monitor, including DisplayPort to DVI adapter to run Eyefinity.

Overall Review: I used a combo on Gigabytes EasyBoost and RBE from TechPowerUp. I ran EB and backed a copy of my F11 VBIOS. Downloaded the F12 version from Gigabyte and opened it in RBE. All I edited was the clock settings which were 157 and 300, I changed them all to 500, and saved the file. RBE saves it as a .rom, so I removed that to just "5850OC_F12". I then used EB to Flash that updated VBIOS. Restarted and connected my 3 monitors again, with NO flickering. I have task Manager, PS5, Lightroom, and a movie playing right now, NO FLICKER. Wish it didn't take me over a year and a new build to try and figure it out. Thanks to Viking2121 below for posting about RBE and his OC'ing.

Pros: Great capacity and reliability. I ordered when I saw someone else received the 45MB/s version. I also got one. I use this in my Nikon D7000. It's able to perform faster than the camera can write (I shoot RAW). Compared to the 30 MB/s cards, they are slightly faster in camera, not much though. In my PC it makes a difference when importing to Lightroom. Sent my card carrier through the washer, it had all of my SanDisk cards in it(9). Let them sit to dry out, popped em in my camera and they all work fine. Thinking of ordering more for backups on big shoots.

Cons: None for me.

Overall Review: It includes a coupon inside to d/l and use Rescue PRO Deluxe for 1 year, from date of activation. I haven't used it myself, but nice to have. Like any other type of HD, if you delete something or format, the information is still there, unless you write over it.

Pros: Overkill, yeah...and SO!? I'm worth it. B) Customer service is awesome. In 8 years, I've contacted them only a handful of times. Each time I walk away totally satisfied, and always returning.

Cons: It's not an 8 core, so why 2x the price of a 4 core? It should be $100-150 more than a 3820 or 2600K. IMHO

Overall Review: I just ordered mine on the 25th. 26th it went on sale $30 less. My invoice was processed on the 26th, for $599. Live chatted with Agent M, 3 min later, he put in a refund of $30 to my card. Awesome!

Pros: Faster and more reliable than my iPhones(2G, 3G, 3Gs) and my dads 4. Not chained to iTunes and its updates. Came with free ThinkFree, so I'm able to read/edit Word, Excel, Power Point documents. Brighter nicer screen IMO and bigger than iPhone 4. All the same apps as iPhone, just NO iTunes. Battery last for me, I turn off WiFi, when not at home. WiFi Calling capable. Thinner and lighter than iPhone. Plug and Play with USB to PC. (Windows 7) USB>micro USB charger.

Cons: Battery last the day for me. If I'm out and about I have my car charger.

Overall Review: I was disgusted with my iPhones always locking up or crashing, having to depend on iTunes. Since I got this phone, I am sooo pleased that I can do what I need to with my phone. I can even remote to my PC, and other computers with an app from TeamViewer.(Mac as well) Very satisfied with this phone. Highly reccomended
