— Fantastic performance, a worthy successor to the hugely successfull and recently decommissioned Performance Pro Series.
— Ground-breaking SSD performance a brilliant successor to Corsairs excellent Performance pro range.
— Superb value for money given its relatively low price. In absolute terms its performance is very slightly surpassed by more expensive drives ( Kingston HyperX and Corsair Performance Pro )
— The FX 8-Core Black gives the i5 3570K a run for its money on multi-threaded workstation loads. There is, however, no clear winner because the FX 8-Core has weaker single threaded and therefore real world consumer performance and is also less energy efficiency. Overall this is a refreshingly strong contender from AMD and holds its own in the upper value segment of the server orientated CPU market.
— I am really impressed with this so far. It handles win8 comfortably (for casual browsing) and It can just about play 1080p youtube clips without stuttering. This beats my old asus eeepc (atom/ion) hands down. I spent a lot of time trying to get all the drivers working with win7, got most of the way there but it was a lot of work, in the end just went for win8 and I am pleasantly surprised by win8 so far.
