Pros: is as fast as any of my USB 3 drives, very large capacity and a long 3 year warranty as most external drives now only have a one year warranty. This review is for the 5 TB model of the Samsung D3 Drive Station drive that I purchased on May 1st 2015, however I also own 5 of the 2 TB drives some 2 years old and all of them have preformed flawlessly.

Cons: there is an obvious bug in the supplied software. After seeing several reviews here comment on how their drives failed the Samsung diagnostic tests preformed right after they received their 5 TB drives and indicating that the drive failed the test. I then ran the same extended tests on my drive even though it had been performing great for several weeks and my drive also failed the test.

Overall Review: To clear up one thing, even though this drive is labeled Samsung, it is really a Segate drive. A few years ago Samsung sold off their mechanical drive division and Segate bought it and obviously has the rights to use the Samsung name on existing products. I currently have 5 of the 2TB drives, some bought 2 years ago and then I purchased this 5 TB drive on May 1, 2015. My computer is on 24/7 and these drives have been constantly powered up along with my PC some for 2 years and all of them have preformed flawlessly. When I read the comments about the 5 TB model failing the long test in the supplied diagnostic software I also decided to test mine and it too failed. I thought that perhaps there was something else going on and there was nothing wrong with the drive. I also had Segates diagnostic software SeaTools for Windows that I use to check a couple of internal Segate drives. I then ran the extended tests that SeaTools for Windows provides and the drive passed the SeaTools test. I then had a long talk witth Segate Support and the tech seemed to agree with my assumption that there was something wrong with the Samsung test suite that comes with the drive. He told me that SeaTools has been a very reliable test suite and that if my drive passed its test then there was nothing wrong with my drive. I suggested that they do not waste time trying to fix the Samsung software but to change the software by removing the Samsung diagnostic tests and replace it with a link to download SeaTools for Windows. I do not know if they will incorporate my suggestion but even if they do not I strongly suggest only using SeaTools for testing these drives. I have not taken all of my drives apart but I did remove one of the 2 TB drives and cannot remember the model number but is was a 7200rpm Seagate 3.5" drives so I assume that all of these Samsung drives actually have Segate drives inside the case.

Pros: All I can say is that they work, you can write to them and read the data and have proved to be reliable.

Cons: Very Slow in both read and write speeds, I wish that I had not bought the 64GB model because it is so slow that it is painful waiting for files to transfer to it.

Overall Review: I have a collection of these pen drives, from 8GB through the 64GB and I use them on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit as well as Linux Mint. I have not formally bench marked the performance of these drives however from my usage of these drives and looking at the write times that is provided by Windows I do not think that they are any faster than some older USB 2 pen drives. I would not be surprised that they just repackaged USB 2 drives in the USB 3 housing and packaging. If you buy them only get them when they are on sale at a steep discount.

Pros: made for the SilverStone Raven RVZ01 small form factor case 600W Works well with both a GeForce GTX 970 as well as a GeForce GTX 1080 founders edition GPUs

Cons: none

Overall Review: I bought this power supply in June of 2015 to use in a small form factor build where I used the SilverStone Raven RVZ01. Back in 2015 until this power supply was released the biggest SFX power supply was only a 450 watts and I was concerned that I would have to compromise on my choice of GPU. Just before I was going to choose a different case this 600 watt supply became available. Though it was a little pricey it has proven to be a good investment. The original build was for a Z97 MB and now the same case has a Skylake MB, i7 6700K CPU and a GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition. Except for the few hours it took to upgrade the MB and CPU this system has been powered on 24/7 since June of 2015 and this power supply is still going strong. Because I like the looks of the new Razer RZ03 case I purchased one and will be moving everything over to this new case.

Pros: is an interesting concept

Cons: I based my purchase decision based upon the information given on the product page, unfortunately with respect to what OS you are able to install it is very misleading and incomplete. In the main page heading it states that this is a NON OS version of the Kangaroo and then it states (Windows 10 Compatible) When I see a product that says that it is Windows 10 compatible I assume that in the absence of any other information that it will work with other OS's and you can use Windows 10 if you want. I received my Kangaroo Plus yesterday afternoon and after wasting several hours trying to get Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit that I still had a valid license for to install on this device. When the Windows 7 loader is beginning it initially loads the Windows files and then when the screen comes up stating that Windows is starting it is halted in its tracks and a big Red Bar is at the top of the screen. Unfortunately it appears that InFocus has this device locked down so that the only version of Windows that can be installed is Windows 10. I personally do not like Windows 10 for a lot of reasons and I be D@$%ed if I will spend 100 bucks on buying it! It was this issue that made the novelty of this interesting concept to quickly wear off.

Overall Review: I talked with InFocus support this morning and they claimed that the problem is with the bios not having a comparability mode and that is why Windows 7 will not load on it. That may be the problem but I doubt it, after poking around in the UEIF bios of the Kangaroo I discovered that they installed a TPM (trusted platform module) v2 chip on the motherboard. In my opinion this is the device that they are using to lock down the PC so that you can only use Windows 10. Perhaps it is both the bios as well as the TPM chip but regardless they are design choices that InFocus has made. The thing that I find amazing is that they would sell a PC that is clearly stated to be a non OS version and then limit the end user to what version of Windows that they can use. They made this choice and I have made mine. I have decided to vote with my wallet and I just got off of the phone with NewEgg and they have issued an RMA for a refund based upon the reasons here in this post, they also are emailing me a prepaid mailing label to return the Kangaroo back to NewEgg.

Pros: The key pro for me at least has been the drives reliability, I currently own 6 of the 2TB models purchased at various times this past year or so with the 2 oldest ones purchased back in November of 2013. All of these drives are used daily and are plugged into a USB 3 powered hub. The other pro is that these USB 3 drives have a 3 year warranty. Though not necessary each of these drives come with Samsung Drive Management software that makes it easier if you wish to encrypt some of the data on the drive etc. The other PRO is these drives using USB 3 are fast enough to stream H264 HD video with 5.1 or 7.1 audio. Also I use one of my drives for my Steam install, all of my Steam games are on it and I have never had any issues with game play.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: After reading several of the customers questions and seeing the the question of what kind of drive is inside asked repeatedly here is what I found. I had a HD fail in my PC and since I already had 6 of these USB 3 drives here and one was pretty empty I decided to just take the drive out of the case and discovered that it is, at least for the 2TB version or at least inside mine is a Segate 2TB Barracuda Model ST2000DM001 that is a 7200 RPM drive.

Pros: I will not talk a lot about all of its features just read some of the other reviews. I mainly wanted everyone to know that due to a firmware update for the PS4 this headset now works great with it. Everything now works just like it does on the PC and the PS3, just plug in the optical cable into the PS4 and then plug in the supplied USB cable and now the PS4 recognizes and uses the mic via the USB interface. There are a couple of settings that need to be made on your PS4.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I also find them to be very comfortable for long term use.
