Pros: Very fast hdd. At 10k rpm, the loading time is very noticeable. Looks like a tank with the huge heatsink.

Cons: Capacities. Even though it's only 74gb, WIN7 pro 64bit only required 20gb.

Overall Review: When I got my drive and install into my computer. Win7 didn't recognize my drive at first until I right click "My Computer" and to into manager and format the drive. Once I've done that. I install win7 pro 64bit and usually on a 7200rpm drive, I have to wait almost 30min to an hour for it to finish installing win7. With the 10k rpm Raptor, it was so fast I didn't see it finish installing and it already boot up to Win. That is when I knew, this drive is the beast. I know the raptor don't stand a chance with some of the higher end ssd drives, but I know for a fact it is as fast as some of the older ssd maybe even faster. It's also quite, not too loud like other say it is.

Pros: Fast for a SATA II drive. Get up to 400MB/s on HD Tune Pro when RAID 0 2x F60 drives. Very small and sleek, doesn't break a sweat. Stay cool

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Bought it as a refurb drive for $39.99 from Frie's Electronic. That was the best upgrade I had so far. Drives last me a little over a year and no problem. Up to 400MB/s when RAID 0 them, 250-350MB/s constant speed. -+ 0.4 sec seek time. Single drive benchmark does about 120-150MB/s on HD Tune Pro.

Pros: Had this board for over 2 years now, and loved it. Overclock very well. I had the Phenom II X4 945 w/ locked multiplier and was able to OC to 3.6GHz(Air) using EZ switch. Now I have the PHII X4 974BE and it's amazing, now I'm clock @ 4.1GHz (H60 cooler). Last upgrade was a month ago, got 2 Corsair SSD in RAID 0 and all I can say is WoW, what an improvement. The board come with 6 SATA II ports but only 4 ports are active when it's on IDE mode. In order to get all 6 ports to work, you have to go into BIOS and enable RAID or AHCI Mode. All I gotta say is I love this board and I have no complaint what so ever.

Cons: I wish it had SATA III and USB 3.0 and a BIOS reset button. Seem Like AMD is always a year behind Intel. :(

Overall Review: Layout is not that bad. I like it, able to fit 3 huge, powerful Video card and leaving you 1 PCIe-1x
