Pros: Easy install, does exactly what it says. I haven't bothered to clock the speed yet and probably won't. I have four WD external drives hooked up to it 2 are 2.0 and 2 are 3.0.these are drives I use for media on a home network to watch movies and listen to music on my home theater and my mobile devices when I'm not home. Everything I play is smooth and seamless running through this card. Also moving content between the drives or downloading to them is a lot faster than I was expecting. I highly recommend this card, you won't be disappointed.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: When I plugged in the card and booted it was picked up immediately by Windows 8.1 and operational. I still installed the drivers off the mini disc to insure 3.0 compatability and speed.

Pros: Initially it was a good tablet for what was out at the time I purchased it. It was lightweight and fast.

Cons: I recently had the “pleasure” (sarcasm) of sending my ASUS TF300 tablet to ASUS for repair at my cost, still under warranty. It went to their Phoenix, TX repair center. The problems I had were several bright spots on the screen in the backlight and severe lagging with occasional lockups. I had tried factory reboots and several suggestions from blogs and forums to fix these issues before sending it in and none of them worked. After a little over two weeks including shipping time which was UPS down and FedEx back (about 5 days according to the tracking) my tablet returned. Nothing was fixed and now the battery life is only about 2 hours compared to 5-6 hours before it left. I don’t know what they did but after using ASUS products for many years, everything from motherboards and processors to optical drives for computers to tablets and peripherals, spending thousands of dollars on their products I am now so frustrated and disappointed that I have made my last purchase from ASUS. This is not the way a company should treat their customers especially with all the competition that is out there today. I would not and will not recommend ASUS to my clients, family or friends anymore and I will definitely spread the word on their (for lack of a better word) “pathetic” business practices. No “STARS” to ASUS because even though this is the first problem I have had with them, if you can’t count on them when things go wrong and they actually add to the problems you already have then this makes them unreliable and I cannot afford to disappoint my clients and customers for something an incompetent vendor has done. Before purchasing another ASUS product I suggest you do your research, weigh the pro’s and con’s, and seriously think about what this could cost you in the long run if something does go wrong. We all hope it won't and you may have never before had a problem before but there will be that first time eventually. Just hope you don't have to use their service facility. To ASUS, I hope you get your act together and stop scamming people and start using professional business tactics or your company will surely suffer the consequences. Never forget that your customers are your income and the future of your company. One disappointed person can cost you thousands in sales and service!

Overall Review: Finding peripherals is a little more difficult than for other popular brands driving the prices up a little more than the others.

Pros: Great Drive, No complaints about this drive so far. I have many WD drives and and have never had any major issues. It's quiet and runs smooth. I use it with a media player on my home theater for movies and music and have it linked to my main computer by cat 6. Transfer back and forth from the computer is a little slow but not horrible and streaming to the tv through the media player is smooth as silk, I have never had lag or a stutter from this or my 2 TB. WD drive which I have used for over a year.

Cons: It's not fast but it's a green so don't expect blazing speeds. My complaints are on the Warranty. The warranty on the ad here states 3 year manufacturer warranty on parts and labor. This was a decision maker for me considering my use doesn't really require fast speed so the Essentials USB 3.0 connection wasn't a necessity it would have been a nice luxury however. The warranty on the Essentials is listed as 2 years so I chose the longer warranty with the slower speed. (See other thoughts)

Overall Review: When registering the drive with WD I only received a 389 day warranty. After contacting them a tech sent this email: Thank you for contacting Western Digital Customer Service and Support. My name is Alvaro G. The WD Elements has a 1 year warranty. Please refer to the link below for more information about our warranty policy. http://support.wdc.com/warranty/policy.asp?custtype=end&lang=en If you have any further questions, please reply to this email and we will be happy to assist you further. Sincerely, Alvaro G Western Digital Service and Support http://support.wdc.com Be warned and beware that WD will not honor the warranty that is listed here. I do not no why and as you can see they do not give a reason even after being directed to this page and being sent a picture. This drive has only a 1 year warranty. This is my first major disappointment with WD.

Pros: It's SSD. Silent operation. Fast.

Cons: Doesn't seem as stable as it should. Packet loss. MUST UPDATE FIRM WARE!! MUST HAVE ANOTHER HARD DRIVE TO UPGRADE FIRMWARE!!

Overall Review: This could have been a good drive but right now there are way to many issues. It took some work to get it working correctly and I'm not fully convinced it is flaw free even with the firmware update. The BIOS could see the SSD but windows couldn't. At one point after the firmware update the SSD could not be formatted. Had a lot of trouble getting the computer to detect the SSD drive after the update and ended up installing windows on the secondary drive and installing updates and drivers on it. When I was finally able to format the SSD I had to install the OS on it to get the Windows on the secondary drive to see the SSD, then cloned the image from the second drive to the SSD. If you are not willing to spend a good bit of time and ingenuity setting up this drive then skip it.

Pros: Lots of room for a mid tower. Very sturdy and solid. Great features and cooling. Very easy to build in and hide the wiring. If properly done the inside looks great. Did not encounter sharp edges. (no scraped knuckles) The finished product looks very sharp.

Cons: These are very picky cons: The shiny black material looks great but draws dust quickly. The Flip bars on front can be a nuisance. In this case good cooling means much dust. Huge fan on acrylic side panel is a little loud.

Overall Review: I used this case on a build for a customer to use in his business. Even though the lights are a little bright for a business environment he likes it very much. This is probably one of the best cases I have had the pleasure to work with. I spent a little more time than normal to work the wires and it was well worth it. Virtually the only wire that is noticeable through the window is the 24 pin main. The pictures do not show you but on the right side of the case the is a large opening at the front that allows you to run most wires including the extra power lines (left zip tied and dangling) without being seen. I liked this case so much I am getting one for my own personal build and will probably upgrade my fathers case to the same. It is well worth the money. If you don't have enough to get this case hold off till you do. You will be extremely glad you did.

Pros: I have no Idea other than a very nice looking box. Heavy board and it feels very durable if you can get one to work.

Cons: Well, like so many others my board arrived DOA.

Overall Review: I bought this board with other items to update my fathers computer for a birthday present. Up until this board I have always used a$u$ mobo's. when the board turned out to be DOA on his birthday I was as disappointed as he was. I RMA'd the board and contacted a$u$ support (from the reviews in the a$u$ products on newegg). Got the board they recommended for dad's setup and so far he is loving the new board. Rock on A$U$. If Gygabyte would precheck their products and have these boards working without so many problems I truly believe this board would be awsome. For now Ill stay A$u$ loyal.
