Pros: Works very well. On my build it is nearly as fast as the built-in USB connectors. I just plugged it in and it started working immediately.

Cons: The blued power LED is very bright. It does not go off even when the computer is shut down or put in standby.

Overall Review: The USB cable is very thick.

Pros: Very fast, great price. Windows loads very fast and everything else is silky smooth. I got one each for both my desktop and laptop. Going from a 5400 rpm HDD on my laptop and this was like night and day!

Cons: Not as much an improvement in battery consumption as I thought on my laptop. On my desktop, TW2 still loads very slowly. Otherwise, still pretty awesome.

Pros: Very large, fast, quiet. More than enough space for my needs and loads games and Vista very rapidly. Bought it for less than $90.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Bought two of these.

Pros: Comes with good documentation (albeit on a pdf file). Was very intuitive and fast. After I had it downloaded and installed I made a boot disk to image my old maxtor onto my new WD drive.

Cons: Took longer than I thought. When it copies the image to the new disk will erase all old partitions on it.

Pros: Media center software is excellent --very intuitive (except how to shut it down). Has most of the features of Professional save for domain access.

Cons: The directions that came with it were completely inadequate. Installation was extremely time-consuming (3CD's!).

Overall Review: I'm still waiting for my Vista upgrade. I ordered it back in December and they just finished validating my COA.

It took a while to get and it was a bit pricey--but you get what you pay for. They were just the right length and their stiffness enabled enabled me to arrange them in my case like I wanted.
