Pros: -7,200 RPM -500GB -Boot speeds and application start up speeds are noticeably faster -Reliable. Been using this drive for two years now on two different laptops.

Cons: -Extra performance not worth the extra $50. -No WEI improvement over a 5,400RPM drive but you can blame Windows for that.

Overall Review: I reviewed this drive about a year ago and have since come across new things. This drive tends to become fragment moreso and more often than your everyday 7,200RPM drives. I'm not sure if it's because of the 4GB SSD cache. I have a Western Digital 640GB 7,200RPM drive in the same laptop and have had the OS installed on both drives at one point or another and it never got fragmented so often.

Pros: -consolidate all NEWER gen rgb fans into one controller that can be controlled by the motherboard -includes all the cables you may need for different motherboards

Cons: -does not work for anything but newer gen 9-pin style fans and not 5-pin style -thermaltake needs to stop changing the plug style

Overall Review: Thermaltake needs more disclaimers and should change naming schemes otherwise it gets confusing. My RGB case came with fans that have the same naming scheme as the ones this product says it covers. Riing versus Riing Plus have different plugs. Cost too much to return the product so just kept it in case I get the right fans in the future. Can't use it currently.

Pros: Plays everything I throw at it High refresh rate for gaming Great for mobile gaming Love the sleek finish Bunch of bells and whistles

Cons: Not many. It's got the specs I'd expect for the price. Not a desktop replacement if you're a serious gamer. The battery life is what I'd expect for a gaming laptop. Managed to get an hour or two while gaming. Can bump it up to five hours with aggressive power saving. Not sure if I'm a fan of the keyboard/touchpad yet but it works for what I do.

Overall Review: Not sure what the other reviewer was talking about with a "loud" hard drive as this has only M.2 SSD drives as an option, on all price tiers. They can get hot though. Wonder how they narrowed down the cause of the blue screen to the SSD. Not on that computer to check what brand was used. Overall a really good laptop for the price. I steered away from Gigabyte for desktop components as their software is trash but the software for this laptop is decent.

Pros: -GPU chipset is watercooled by closed system -It's made by EVGA -Can run anything -I never got it above 55C during stress tests. even with OC

Cons: -Fan started making annoying clicking sound after a few months. So I decided to add a 4-pin fan splitter, replace the clicking fan, and add a second.

Overall Review: Fantastic card if you have the money. Granted it's sold out now and I was bummed because I would have considered buying a second.

Pros: -See Below -Reviewed product back in 2/3/2014

Cons: -This is mostly a review of Corsair themselves but also the product. -After owning it for over two years now, the PSU has started whining/buzzing when in any games. It used to only be some loading screens but now it's constant. -I submitted an RMA through Corsair and it got accepted right away. I called to upgrade to express replacement but had an issue with my card so I would have to call back. Service Rep said there was plenty of the PSUs in stock. Two days later I call back and the service rep says they have none in stock and to call back next week some time to see when they'd get more. I asked about paying the difference for a different PSU but they said they can't do that. It's something they should seriously consider. People can't be without their computers and to simply say "It's out of stock. Can't help ya." seems unacceptable to me.

Pros: -Long -90 degree sits flat enough against the motherboard to fit under my video card. I had another similar cable and actually had to shave off some plastic to make it fit. My motherboard has upward facing SATA ports for some weird reason.

Cons: None

Overall Review: -Length of the cable can actually be a hassle if you're not into cable management. =P Not a con. Just mentioning it.
