It can be difficult to dig into detail about a product that has a simple goal, works as designed and does so easily. At the time of my purchase, the price was equivalent to slower memory.
It has lower and tighter timings compared to most 2400 speed modules which was a big motivator for going with the Trident X.
They are Intel XMP ready and if your motherboard is to then its a snap to get it running at full speed. At the most you may need to set the memory configuration in the BIOS to XMP and whamo! It’s overclocked! The memory speed and timings are recognized and you’re ready to rock. Some people report that their BIOS is already set to XMP and it recognizes it immediately.
Although its not a feature I needed to take advantage of, I can see the appeal in the design to allow the heat spreaders to come off for a better fit in your case.
I’m not one to show off the guts of my PC, but I do like the look of these modules.

You may want to do your own research on what speed and timings work best with the CPU of your choice. I don’t believe my research lead to a definitive answer on whether memory with a slower speed and tighter timings are better with the Haswell over faster speed and looser timings. At any rate, I am very pleased with these modules and I would purchase them again… in fact, I plan to when I’m ready to max my memory at 32GB.

I already completed a review for this product. This is an update because I've had some issues. I'm still working on the issues and my RMA this set of memory. The problems is @ 2400 with XMP profile set I get an occasional BSOD. About one every two weeks mostly coming out of sleep S3 state. Setting the speed to 1866 stops the BSOD. My old 1866 memory never had one BSOD.
Like I said still working on the issue. Will try upping the voltage
Other than this issue I've had no others. The memory passes all stress tests including Prime95 for 4 hours.
