Pros: Works with almost any standard 2.5" HDD or SSD. Fast - USB 3.0 gives 175+ MB/s sustained transfer speed. Inexpensive - Great value whether or not you catch it with a coupon code and/or rebate. Easy - the included software does its job well and I have never run into any cloning problems with around 50 uses so far and counting. Robust build quality.

Cons: None. It's a vital tool for fast and simple drive cloning.

Overall Review: I have been using the Apricorn USB 3.0 SATA transfer cable for a year now (just received my second one in the mail from Newegg a couple days ago, so I can now work on more than 1 system simultaneously) and it has been flawless. I use it and the included software for cloning when upgrading from a spindle HDD to an SSD, or a smaller SSD to a larger SSD, or reverting a laptop with an upgraded SSD back to it's original HDD (owner gets a newer laptop, wants to repurpose SSD, etc). When using a USB 3.0 port, it only takes about 6-20 minutes to clone a drive. On USB 2.0, it will take up to 1.0-2.5 hours depending on amount of data on the source drive, but this is to be expected so, plan your time accordingly if you are using the older USB revision. I just upgraded my system from a 128GB SSD boot drive (C:\ with around 95GB) and a 1TB spindle HDD (D:\ with about 190GB) to a larger 256GB SSD boot drive (C:\), a 480GB SSD (D:\), and repurposed the 1TB as a data backup drive in a 5.25" hot swap front bay. I cloned both drives in about 30 minutes total time. Zero complaints and everything works, and works faster than ever!

Pros: - Small package makes for easy mobility. - Sturdy metal construction. - Fast read and write rates.

Cons: - 7.53GB usable. May not be a big deal to some, but almost half a gig lost to formatting is huge to me. - After only three weeks of ownership and use, drive is completely shot. Windows can't even finish a full format or scan/repair. - Casing around the contacts is wider than just about all other USB flash drives, so this drive WILL NOT fit in some USB receptacles. Bad design means very frustrating at times. - Without some kind of cover over the contacts, I wonder if electro-static discharge was a contributing culprit for my drive's speedy failure.

Overall Review: I'd love to recommend this product solely on the small size and sturdy build (good for 1 egg rating), but I must implore that anyone considering such to stay away from it because it is not a dependable unit. Given the low price point, it's not really worth it to me to pay for return shipping for warranty work, only to get the same questionable drive in return.

Pros: Proper 4-pin PWM. Very good airflow. Red LEDs!

Cons: Mounting options can be inhibitive...you can not mount these in a case or on a heatsink that uses full pass-through bolts or rubber retaining pins. You can only use the included machine screws for mounting to a case or tension rods like on some heatsinks. LEDs are dim. I was hoping they would be brighter. Subjective...they may be just right for you. LOUD at higher speeds. Wow, these sound like a small vacuum cleaner, and I am not exaggerating. The POM bearing sure does throw out some noise! I leave them in auto-RPM PWM mode running in my silent profile, so the noise never ramps up enough to cause an issue for me.

Overall Review: Two mounted on my Prolimatech Megahalems in a push-pull setup. This combination keeps my i7-3770K nice and cool....I don't see over 58-64C per core under full load with a test program like Linpack/IntelBurnTest. Hindsight being 20/20, I would probably have chosen other 120mm Red LED PWM fans that are known to be much brighter, like the certain brand that includes 18 LEDs around the circumference in each fan.

Pros: fast Fast FAST

Cons: None - never any problems.

Overall Review: Owned and used my 240GB HyperX 3K for over a year now and I am still amazed at how fast it is, even compared to most of the newer drives that have come out since. Made my circa 2009 i5-430M 4GB laptop feel like a super-fast brand new machine after swapping out the factory installed 500GB 7200rpm HDD. Boot time from full power off state to fully loaded and usable Win7 desktop went from about 3.5-4 minutes to around 25 seconds, and I have a lot of memory-resident programs loading! This is the only Sandforce equipped SSD I would ever buy thanks to the trusty Kingston name, excellent support, and amazing performance. I really wish Kingston would expand on their HyperX 3K lineup and give us larger than 480GB sizes (if possible), like a 960GB model. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Pros: Smaller 92mm form factor. Direct touch heatpipes. Push-Pull dual fan capable. Study mount. Even contact and pressure.

Cons: May be a little tricky to install for some people.

Overall Review: If you don't have a lot of experience installing non-OEM heatsinks, then please take your sweet time with this one or maybe even enlist the help of an experienced person. The adhesive backed underside bracket is a nice touch during installation, so it helps get and keep things aligned when it's time to install the retention bolts. After that, it's completely smooth sailing. Keeps my i7-3770K at 31C/66C idle/load in a microATX case with AS-5 paste and the following 120mm chassis fans: 1 - front intake 1- rear exhaust 2 - side intake 1 - PSU fan exhaust I did not expect to get such great results out of a 92mm sized HSF with an Ivy Bridge i7, so I am very pleased.

Pros: Excellent price - unbeatable value. Lots of external and internal drive mounts for the smaller size. Front USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. 5 rear expansion slots. All four fan mounts are 120mm.

Cons: Thin materials make it a little flimsy. No "modern" cable management capability. ...neither are not worth docking any eggs over because of the price point and included useful features.

Overall Review: Didn't use the chassis floor 2.5/3.5 combo mount since the chassis material is thinner and may flex a tiny bit - I did not want to risk damaging my pricey precious SSD, so I used a metal converter (dual 2.5 to single 3.5 mounting kit I bought from Newegg for about $5 shipped) to mount my SSD in one of the upper 3.5 HDD bays instead. Likely just severe paranoia on my part. If I were installing a regular 3.5 HDD or a 2.5 SSD that was in a mounting hole compatible sturdy 2.5 to 3.5 convertor tray in that bottom-most spot, I would not have had any concerns.
