Pros: Very reliable drive. Bought in 2007 and it still works flawlessly to this day. Unfortunately storage capacity needs have grown, and this drive is only 320GB. I wish I bought more of these back then, seeing as drives today tend to be hit or miss....

Cons: None that I can think of. For an older drive this has great speeds and a large cache, plus a large size for a drive being released during the end of the XP days.

Overall Review: I would buy again. WD drives seem to fail frequently these days. Hopefully Seagate still has good quality control.

Pros: Great features, USB 3.0, nice heatsinks, etc

Cons: No IDE (would be nice to use some old 40 GB HDDs laying around without needing an extra PCI/PCI-e card to IDE) I very carefully took the CPU cover off to find... BENT PINS! I have always used Gigabyte boards in the past with ZERO issues, and this is my first ASRock board (I wanted a good Z77 board so I paid the extra for the Extreme4) so I was very disappointed to find bent pins. I know they are fragile, and I have installed many CPUs in other boards, so I know it wasn't anything I did. I straightened them back out (2 were bent, about 2 cm apart) and the board loaded to the BIOS, so that's a good sign. Hopefully I have no issues after loading windows 7. Even if the board works, this review still deserves 1 egg because no board should ship with bent pins, EVER.

Overall Review: How can a company ship a board with bent cpu pins? That's terrible quality control, and ASRock should be more careful if it wants to make it in the motherboard market.
