Pros: After removing the bloatware system runs great, upgraded to SSD for boot drive, and ti boots in 12seconds flat.

Cons: Loses 1 star as the SATA channels were known to be buggy, only the first 2 of 4 will give you sata3, the other 2 will only give you sata2. There apparently was a recall over this, but newegg failed to mention it, However as I am only using 0 & 1 It has become a non-issue for performance for me.

Pros: Drive has run fantastic for the last year, am about to pick up a new bigger one, and I am definately sticking with INTEL.

Cons: Gave up trying to use migration software with laptop. And did a fresh Install instead. Followed directions to a T, and later searched forumns for help, laptop wouldnt even recognise the drive until I had it partitioned, this may be a laptop issue, but i've seen other complaints on forumns about it.
