Pros: Fantastic quality, and VERY durable. My wife and kids gifted these to my for Christmas 2014, and these have been stood up BEAUTIFULLY!! See Other thoughts regarding details about durability, and examples of the use (abuse) I have put these through.

Cons: NOT Bluetooth, so it needs a USB dongle to work as a wireless headset. As a result it isn't compatible with the Playstation TV.

Overall Review: Regarding durability, I have been OVER using these, and they have stood up without issue. Aside from being used for my PS4 (maybe 1+ hours a day, 3 days a week on average for just about a year), they are what I use for my phone as well. I take these outside in the winter to shovel snow in the Midwest, as well as mowing the lawn, and any other type of outside home maintenance I have to perform. They have been soaked from falling snow, rain, sweat, and I haven't ever had any issues with them. I also take them to work to use when I have online training courses which I need to take. I have also tested it out as a wired VoIP headset to my work laptop, and it is fantastic. I am debating purchasing a second pair for strictly gaming, and my second pair for outside work, exercise, etc.

Pros: Worked great while it lasted. Simply plug and play

Cons: This unit worked for LESS than 6 months. Product has only a 90 day warranty. That is my fault, as I should have CHECKED the warranty period before purchasing this. Purchased 08/02/2014 Failed 02/06/2015

Overall Review: PowerColor and StarTech both offer the same product with 1 year warranties on theirs. I know which one I will be buying next time.

Pros: Ordered 5 of these over two orders, got 2, then 3. Currently only 2 of them are in operation, but working great. NONE were DOA. Used WD Data Lifeguard tools to test each one indiviually to ensure no issues.

Cons: None thus far...

Overall Review: I jumped the gun on these a bit. I have digitized just about ALL of my entire 300+ DVD and 100+ Blu Ray collection. Using .mkv format, totally uncompressed, files are HUGE!! 25-40 gigs per Blu Ray. Curently the files are residing on a bunch of 2 TB drives, need to migrate them to these for backup. These drives used for backup of photos and home video storage and back up. End game is to have a rack mountable storgae server built for a network rack in my basement. Server not even built or ordered yet, will be running 5-8 of these drives fro hot swap bays on thr server, likely running ZFS.

Pros: Purchased 2 of these to DRAMATICALLY increase desktop realestate for a home office setup. Previously using a 19" monitor and 15" laptop display as dual setup. This kore than DOUBLED my desktop size. As noted, used for work, for a technical network helpdesk role. Many applications and windows opened at same time. These allow me to have multiple windows opened next to eachother without having to do the alt-tab juggle between the 25+ differnet things I have open at any given time. I also have personal laptop connected to HDMI on one for dual display on that with 17" laptop display. Switching inputs is simple and fast, works great. Only game it has been used for is Diablo 3, no issues. Diablo 3 driven from Gateway P-6860fx laptop with 8800mgts graphics.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Debating order 1 or 2 more of these, but not sure the wife will fall for "I need a few more for.... work..... yeah.... work...."

Pros: Moved back to Comcast when U-Verse wasnt available at new residence. Buying one of these just makes sense. $8 a month for modem rental, this pays for itself in LESS than a year, it just MAKES SENSE... I have the 25 down/ 5 up package from Comcast, actually getting a tad over 30 down, and 7.5 up, no issues. Have had it running for about a month SOLID, not a single reboot needed, no freezes or slow downs or hangups.

Cons: None...

Overall Review: This will EVENTUALLY be sitting on a shelf in a network rack if I EVER get this new house wired.

Pros: None

Cons: *THIRD* RMA on this set of RAM, and STILL getting bad sticks. This is ridiculous that I have had FOUR sets (the original that was shipped, and 3 different RMA's, and ALL of them have wound up bad). All I want is to get what I paid for, a *WORKING* set of RAM, that doesn't immediatly throw errors in a test, or prevent a computer from booting up.

Overall Review: My original review was on 04/01/2009 (no, it WASN'T an April Fools Joke). I am a VERY experienced system builder, and this is only the second product I have had an issue with on Newegg. The first was an Antec power supply that was DOA back in January of 2003. 1 RMA, and a working supply was sent to me. I cannot help but think that Patriot has some sort of issue with this series of memory given this high failure rate. In 4 sets, I have had 5 bad sticks. 5/8 failure rate? I would LOVE it if there is an option to return this set of RAM in exchange for a product at the same price point.... ARG!
