Awesome

Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD1500HLHX 150GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD1500HLHX 150GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Fast, reliable, quiet (by my standards).

Cons: Price, still old school platter style hard drive.

Overall Review: While a bit more expensive, I simply love the performance. This is my second Velociraptor. My first one has been running smooth for over two years, I just wanted more space for more games. I've also got a set of regular Raptors that have been running for several years, no problems there either. While I realize platter style hard drives are on their way out, I guess I'm just not convinced it's time to convert to SSD yet. Maybe my next build.

Great buy

Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SV300S37A/240G
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SV300S37A/240G

Pros: Fast, good price, lightweight, quiet.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I purchased this over a year ago to replace the old, slow platter drive in my laptop. Once I cloned the drive, I replaced the drive with no problems. The decrease in reboot and antivirus scan times were very noticeable. Well worth the cost in squeezing another year or two out of an aging laptop or PC. The laptop required 2 reboots to get everything in order driver-wise, but after that I had no problems. Been working great ever since.

Please with purchase

SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III 32 layer 3D V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E500B/AM

Pros: Extremely fast, lightweight, quiet. This purchase came with a free adapter so I could fit this smaller form factor hard drive in a larger 3.5" bay, which is great.

Cons: None to report.

Overall Review: I purchased this with the intent of cloning my hard drive to this new Samsung SSD. I didn't use their cloning software, so I can't comment on the quality of it. I used the Acronis brand since I already has a copy of it. No issues at all replacing the drive, I'm really pleased the decreased scan times for searches and antivirus, as well as the very noticeable decrease in reboot time (Win 7). I haven't done any actual benchmarks, but it's easy to tell that my PC is more responsive.

Works great
