Pros: Great PSU, works great, no problems at all. Does a good job powering my ATI R9 video card on ultra settings.

Cons: none

ORICO Tool Free 2.5 inch USB 3.0 SATA External Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA HDD and SSD Support UASP and 6TB Drive Max -Blue

Pros: Very easy to install the hard drive. Fast transfers over USB 3.0, 6GB's in about 15 seconds with an SSD.

Cons: Hard drive comes disconnected very easily, only a foam pad holding it in place. Multiple issues with different computers seeing and not recognizing the drives or loosing it after it was working. Unplugging and plugging back it would fix it for a short amount of time. Put the same HDD into another one of these and it works fine.

Overall Review: I liked the enclosures, but only a small amount of resistance holding the drives in was not a smart move and issues with the electronics causing the drives to drop out of Windows on multiple machines is making me look at other external enclosures.

Bad card and bad service

Pros: Nice card, able to run a lot of games at ultra high video settings. Keeps nice and cool in my system. I especially liked having different ports and being able to run 3-4 monitors at once.

Cons: After only a month of playing games on it, I started getting random artifacts when playing multiple games. Sent it in for repair and it came back with nothing done to it but yet I still had the same exact problem. Waiting for a replacement card now and crossing my fingers I won't have the same problem.

Overall Review: This card had the random artifacts on multiple computers, multiple games, multiple operating systems, and multiple drivers....and ASUS service dept couldn't find anything wrong with it? Extreme failure on ASUS's service dept. I work in IT on PC's for over 10 years now, I've never used an ASUS card personally but have put them into corporate and customer computers....this was the first time I personally bought an ASUS card and it will be the last time I use or recommend an ASUS card, especially seeing as others have had the same problem with this card.
