Pros: Speeds are relatively quick, pushing 40 MB write average when plugged into USB 3.0. So far it's really quiet. It's about a foot from me and I can't hear it. 2 tb drive for just over a Franklin. Filled this thing up to about 75% in just under 7 hours. So far so good.

Cons: Light. Light. Light. The light on the front is really bright. In a dark room it will illuminate quite a few things. Nothing a little piece of masking tape can't fix. Or a post-it note. International plug. But I knew that. Which I guess could be a plus, if I ever move to Europe, I won't need to buy an adapter.

Overall Review: The 'egg shipped it with a free adapter (mucho gracias, 'egg). Uses a "standard" cable plug from wall to transformer for VCR's and such, both ends rounded. If you're really picky enough to let that drop this great product down to 1 egg, you're just not doing things right.... 'nuff said. Also, did not come with crudware. Just a clean drive with a autorun.ini that points to a .ico.

Pros: "extended". No, not really. Added *maybe* 2 hours of life.

Cons: 2x the size. Can't use my otter box with it. And on average I get 10 hours from it. I used to get ~8 with the OEM.

Overall Review: WiFi on, Bluetooth on, 4G on roughly 3 hours per day.. Same exact usage patterns on both batteries. The extended battery I had for my Thunderbolt was seriously double the life of the OEM. This is almost pathetic. But, it's one of the cheapest, so I should've known not to expect much! I guess I'll keep it around as a spare in case my OEM decides to blow up.

Pros: I can play several games at high fps. But. See cons It's Intel's first try at a high end GPU. Really, looks good.

Cons: I have ran into dozens of scenarios where the card just does not want to work right. Mainly, if it's not AAA and written for DX12, you probably shouldn't try it. Even backing out of a dx12 title, you can experience issues. Severe desktop distortion. Restarting fixes the problem but it's a pain nonetheless. Several older games, DX7/8/9 refuse to even run. Only after I installed did I see the rgb cable. It's in a closed case so not relevant. But it's a PCI-X card. Could easily pass data along the bus, not need a cable to clutter up the system.

Overall Review: It's still an early product. I'm a medium nerd, but I wanted to support Intel. I stand by my purchase for now. But I knew when I bought it that I would experience a few headaches. Fortnight will run. But will jump from 80 to 20 fps. This system is a 9th gen Intel, does not have SAM. It's recommended but the stuttering is gone for 10 seconds, then terrible for a few moments. I believe it's driver related, because for 10 seconds it's butter, then drops like a stone. Sitting still in game. Also, the driver updates seem web based. I keep getting reminders that the driver is out of date. I open it, and I'm current.

Pros: Does exactly what it says on the box, m.2 enclosure. It's cheap and fast, works great.

Cons: Does not support sata based m.2. I suspect the built in controller does not natively do SATA protocol. I wasn't surprised, but slightly disappointed. Cable is rather short, ~8-10". Not a deal breaker.

Overall Review: I have a few SSD's laying around, decided to put one to good use. Every machine I've used it on picked it up right away. Even using a USB3.0-USB-C dongle on older machines without type C, it lives up to the name. "Universal". Using a standard USB to type C style phone charger cable still works, albeit as much slower USB 2.0 speeds. Not a limitation of the drive or enclosure, just a limitation of the cable and lack of conductors for faster USB spec.

Pros: I won't bore you with raw statistics, but this drive is pretty fast. Much faster than most other mechanical drives I own. It's not quite in SSD territory, but it's a decent mid-way point.

Cons: Drive has been in operation for over a year, no issues found yet. Except.. Does not include an "icepack" heat sink, but with adequate air movement, should remain cool enough to operate 24/7. So, not really an issue for me.

Overall Review: As I've moved a lot of stuff over to SSD, I've kept this drive as a "older game" steam drive for games that would not benefit from SSD load times. Overkill for what I use it for now, but when I first got it and deployed it as a secondary Steam drive, it loaded games and content much faster than a standard 7200rpm drive. GTA:V was notorious for playing bad from rotary drives, but this drive played the game perfectly fine. Assets would load as expected, and not *right before* you get to them, unlike most other drives. I've owned Raptor drives for years, still have a 40GB kicking around as a retro PC boot drive. They're pretty solid drives. It's gone up since I bought it, but, it's still slightly cheaper than a more reputable SSD of the same capacity. I wouldn't use this as a modern boot drive, but most other applications, I think it'd work well.

Pros: -Packing was great, had a few things I didn't need but I don't decal my case. -Performance.. Well, this runs much better than I thought. I've yet to run a ray trace game, but compared to my 1050ti or 1070, this thing runs them in circles and runs MUCH cooler. -Can run several games on high/ultra mix at QHD, and hit 60FPS easily. I benchmarked this card, and it runs faster than most 2070's, but I have power target at 110%. I haven't touched voltages, just told Precision to max the power target and it FLIES. -Running demanding games that peak the power and GPU usage, I've yet to see this thing hit 60C/135F. First day installed, I had Furmark3D run for 24 hours at QHD and 8xMSAA, it did hit 145F, but I was throwing everything at this system including Prime95. Since then, I haven't seen 136F in my 5 hour gaming sessions. My 1050ti hits higher than what this does, but it's only 75 watts, air cooled!

Cons: RGB control thru EVGA is kinda trashy, but that's nitpicking nothing. I've tried to set certain patterns and it'll either do one thing or just stay static color (but it's supposed to change between the 2 "breathing" or fade in and out).

Overall Review: This is a absolute bargain if the pump lasts long term. Only time will tell, but I'm sold on this card. It's a dream. There's no coil whine or pump whine here, just the fan ramping up when high GPU loads detect.
