Pros: SATA II, 16mb cache, this hard drive has an average read speed of 60mb per second. Faster than a 74gb Raptor, and it comes with 320gb of space!

Cons: You need a Sata II controller or motherboard with Sata II. This hard drive will not work right on a Sata I controller.

Pros: Ok. For the people with Nforce4 chipsets, you will need to get an RMA, and they will send you an updated hard drive with the newest firmware that works with the Nforce 4 chipset. It is really cool too because they have an Advance RMA program where you get the new hard drive within 2 days. The wait is great because in the end, you will get a great drive.

Cons: None, after getting the new drive, it has been great, and as fast as a 74gb Raptor.

Pros: I had this harddrive with an Intel motherboard and it worked perfectly fine and it was great.

Cons: When I switched my motherboard to an Nforce4 motherboard, the hard drive would not work correctly. I had to RMA it with Maxtor to give me one that worked on the nforce4 chipset.
