Fantastic Product
Pros: Absolutely phenomenal product. I'm using a Western Digital Caviar GP WD10EACS 1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s in it and it is working amazingly. Stays very cool even while in heavy use. I'm going to put another Western Digital drive of the same type in the other slot because I am so impressed with this product. Great product, great deal, free shipping, and no tax. What else can you ask for?
Cons: None that I've found yet.
Overall Review: A must buy if you are considering getting an external hard drive. It is so much cheaper to buy this and a 3.5" Internal hard drive (I recommend WD or Seagate) than it is buying a ready to use external hard drive from say...Best Buy or any other retailer.
Great Stuff
Pros: All around a solid product. Hasn't had a hiccup yet. Currently using with Windows 7 64bit and it's amazing!
Cons: Price will go down...but that's technology for ya.
Overall Review: Using it with the following: MB - EVGA NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard HD - WD Caviar Green 1TB + 2TB WD Caviar Black PSU - Corsair 750W ATX12V / EPS12V CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W CD/DVD - 2 LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burners - SATA Models OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit GPU - MSI GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC
Fantastic Burner!
Pros: Burns fast and reads fast...need I say more?
Cons: Absolutely None!
Overall Review: Has handled everything that I've been able to throw at it. Have not burned a single coaster yet. I like to use Verbatim for blank CD/DVDs. Using it with the following: MB - EVGA NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard HD's - Western Digital Caviar Black (1TB) and Green (1TB) PSU - Corsair 750W ATX12V / EPS12V CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W CD/DVD - LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner - SATA Model OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (RC) GPU - MSI GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC
Great Product
Pros: Absolutely phenomenal product. I have one of these and a Caviar Green as well. I use the Caviar Black for running operating systems and programs and such. I use the Caviar Green for media storage only. Both are fantastic and this one seems to be a bit faster but it uses more power (not necessarily a bad thing -- conserve power vs. conserve performance).
Cons: None that I can think of. Great product.
Overall Review: Using it with the following: MB - EVGA NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard HD - Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB (and this product) PSU - Corsair 750W ATX12V / EPS12V CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W CD/DVD - LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner - SATA Model OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (RC) GPU - MSI GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC
Works Great
Pros: Works as advertised. Easy to overclock.
Cons: Much more expensive than other kinds of memory.

Solid Product
Pros: I'm currently using in a Rosewill R2-JBOD 3.5" USB 2.0 DUAL-BAY External Inclosure. Works absolutely flawlessly. It also runs very coolly. In the past I've always used Western Digital for my hard drives both internally and externally...so far I've had no problems whatsoever with them. Overall: Great drive, low power consumption that doesn't seem to interfere with performance, runs smoothly, great price, free shipping, no tax, and it's from Newegg!
Cons: None that I've found so far.
Overall Review: If you are in the market for a External Inclosure + Internal Hard Drive I recommend this and the Rosewill product I mentioned previously. It has worked great for me and is much cheaper than buying a ready to use external hard drive.
