Pros: its fast, and it WORKS with my SATA-II board will switch it to my SATA-III laptop soon. its fast, or as fast as SATA-II will let it be. it has not failed, and no noticeable slowdown

Cons: i have read many reviews about this drive failing, and if it does, i don't want to deal with patriot support, it wont flash firmware updates, and i hope this doesn't indicate any underlying problems with the drive. SO FAR its not failed me...

Overall Review: i don't want it to fail, got it for a birthday, but looking back, not the best idea ever. Support only emailed back saying the case was closed, no usefull information AT ALL
