Pros: Works in the JVC Everio and transfered smoothly on the USB-based card reader within my PC.

Cons: Kind of pricey, but it's 32 GB and the camera works well with it. Transfer on the USB-based card reader was about a gig a minute. I expect if the card was full, that'd take a while to transfer...

Overall Review: Camera says 4+ hours on XP quality. Not too shabby.

Pros: Tiny. Decent amount of space for the size. Boot up times were slightly faster than the 7200 rpm drive I was using.

Cons: On Vista 32, 4gb ram, using all of the guidelines OCZ has on their forums to minimize disk access, it runs very slowly most of the time. It was worse before implementing those suggestions. In World of Warcraft, for instance, you can start it pretty quickly, but if you log off your character, WoW writes your settings to the drive, and that takes a good 20 seconds to complete. If you try to select another character it won't actually load until the first char's data is finished writing. Vista runs very slow. Web surfing is very slow. The whole system freezes for seconds while using the drive. You need to move your Temp folder off of the dive. Forget having a pagefile on this. In short- this drive fails at all of the reasons why I bought it. I still haven't received my rebate, and I sent it in within days of getting the drive around August 1st.

Overall Review: I need to find another drive and hopefully copy off all of my data to it.

Pros: • Nice looking card (not flashy) • Blower type- so hot air is sent out of the back of the case • Reference-style connections (3 DP, 1 HDMI, 1 DVI) • Overclock +225MHz Core no problem. • Fan can be set to run fairly silent, but at a cost to temperature.

Cons: • Temperature gets to about 80c during benchmarking and mining, then throttling occurs • Fan at ~45% (the automatic setting speed that occurs at ~80c) is not very quiet, and keeping the fan low leads to the temperature reaching 80c and then throttling. I'd need to set the fan to come on stronger, increasing the noise but lowering the temperature and lessening the throttling. • Monitor connected to DP does not show PC BIOS POST- the monitor only shows information when the video driver is loaded in Windows. The secondary monitor (oriented in portrait, flipped) shows the BIOS power-on password to the side This monitor is connected using the DVI out. I haven't seen a way to change this yet. • I don't see a utility or bios update for the card on PNY's website. Drivers for PNY redirect to Nvidia's website. • DisplayPort output needs be active on power-up, not only in Windows. This feels hacky to me.

Overall Review: At today's rates, GPU mining is dead- it'll take decades for the 600+ MHps to pay anything, if ever. (Not a failure of the card in any way). The serial number is quite long with two sections, and is not (ironically) the number on the sticker that says "S/N: ...". This is only for registering online for the lifetime warranty. At first, while benchmarking and only while benchmarking, the display connected via DisplayPort showed lines and tears in the video and the screen would blank out for seconds at a time. I was going to swap DP outputs but it seemed to be the cable- slightly loose. I need to find a decent cable that won't dislodge or connect improperly. Once I fitted the cable again, the display output was rock solid.

Pros: Worked right out of the box. Cloned a 120g Summit drive onto the Vertex 3, then expanded the volume size to utilize the rest of the volume. I noticed random write performance has improved significantly. Seriously, no hiccups or slowdowns or any trouble at all in the process. Drive came with the latest firmware that has been discussed in the OCZ forums: version 2.06. The summit drive would get slowed down with random writes, but not anything as bad as the performance of the original Core v1.

Cons: OEM drive didn't come with anything other than the drive itself in a static-free bag- no cables, paperwork, mounting hardware, or anything (not that this is unexpected). Reading on the OCZ forums, this drive does not use 25nm Nand, it uses 32nm Toshiba Nand which has slightly less performance. I'm not sure if this is a con or a pro- the larger-process Nand might have benefits in lifetime usability. The specs haven't really been published.

Overall Review: The pictures of the box are a tiny bit misleading. I thought it would be a brown box of a normal size. The box is just about an inch larger all around than the 2.5 inch drive itself. It's a tiny package. I haven't had the time to really test it. I'm running it on a SATA2 connection at the moment but with the possibility to keep it viable for SATA3 in the future (either a new motherboard or a cost-effective PCIe add-on board). I upgraded and up-sized my boot drive in Windows 7 64-bit. I used Acronis 2011 Home version.

Pros: It is reasonably thin, Reasonably large, textured but still fast to use (not an unreasonable amount of friction), and it came with a nice padded case with elastic corner holders and closes with Velcro. I had no trouble with the Razer Naga. Responsiveness was just absolutely perfect.

Cons: I need to find a place to put the case when I'm not transporting it... it's kind of large and ... where do I put this? Not sure about longevity yet, but it seems better textured than the Z-mat World of Warcraft pad it replaced, so I expect this will last much longer (not a con).

Overall Review: The predecessor became worn and smooth in the center, it was not made by Razer. At first I thought this was causing unresponsiveness, but I later found a tiny hair at the optical sensor and not the mat after all. This is very minimalistic, a light color with only the Razer symbol on one corner, understated but good quality and a better design overall.

Pros: It's black. With the 100lb plasma connected, it allows you to orient the display up and down and does not sag downward. it sits pretty close to the wall. I am very pleased with the end result.

Cons: Had to get butterfly bolts and wide washers to mount it through the metal studs, but this is an issue with just how I needed to affix it to the wall.

Overall Review: The plasma is 100 lbs. Getting it on and off the top hook is the hardest part of the process, (oh, and getting the thing upstairs, lol).
