Pros: no vibration or high noise from this drive worked great in small form factor coolmaster case

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: none

Pros: it was "shiny and new"

Cons: I never had a chance to find ou if I lked the device, aa I sent it back next day. It had a strange e-sata type power connecter and required that i purchase special cables. I got tired of driving around town trying to find the "unusual" cables, and so i returend the device and found a used one for the same proce

Pros: Good price, that's about it. Ordered a mini sata cable. There should have been notice that it used mini-sata. I knew cables did not come with it, but did not know mini sata was the interface.

Cons: Died after a week. I didn't even use it!

Pros: Slim, cheap

Cons: Purchased when building my first mini atx PC, getting the cable was an expected irritation. But after hardly any use beyond the initial software installation, it just up and died.

Pros: Quiet and works as expected. Faceplate is solidly attached.

Cons: It's not a slot-loading mechanism.

Other Thoughts: OEM, so bring your own Slim SATA (power and sata combined) cable.

Pros: Bought it as part of a Combo Deal. Small, DVD-R, SATA connection...

Cons: Mine dosent close quite correctly without help. Not sure if it is the way it is mounted in the case or if the screw may be a bit long. not much extra space inside for long screws so use cauation when installing.

Other Thoughts: My Mini ITX case came with the correct power cable but you may want to make sure you have the correct power cable for it...

Pros: it does everything it is supposed to

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: it clearly says OEM - as in bring your own mounting hardware (one or two screws will do)

Pros: Fits great in the Shuttle X27D
Solid build
Fast

Cons: No cables but the Shuttle X27D comes with them, so plan accordingly.

Other Thoughts: This is priced lower than the most popular Sony slim drive. I didn't pay the Sony premium price and, so far, I'm pleased with my decision.

Pros: This is an OEM Drive. OEM drives do not come with accessories or software to save money if you don't need them.

Cons: Don't downrate something because you don't research what you need before purchasing. Pictures clearly show the drive as a bare drive with no accessories.

Other Thoughts: This is an OEM drive. OEM drives come as just a bare drive. This is the same for hard drives and desktop CD/DVD drives, so why would you expect this to come with extra stuff?

This is perfect for someone upgrading an existing SATA drive in a laptop or to put in a slim external case. Just be sure you need SATA as a lot of things still use IDE for the CD-ROM slot.

Pros: 1. Looks nice. Can't use it yet though. See cons...
2. Packed safely, shipped rapidly.

Cons: 1. Should have explicitly said, this uses mini-SATA power connector.
2. Would have been nice if a converter were included.
3. Would have been nice if screws were included.

Other Thoughts: I just paid $3 shipping for a $4 cable so I can use this drive sometime next week. Grr.
