Excellent Quality

HIS Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support IceQ4 Turbo Video Card H485QT512P

Pros: I spent days going through every card/vendor available in the 4800 series on Newegg, and this is the one that came ahead in every comparison I did. It stays cool even at 100% load, runs super quiet, drivers are top-notch (there used to be a fan issue driver-side, got fixed last October), it's simply amazing! I cannot recommend it enough. And the little extras in the package like the converters are amazing, now I can run DVI to my computer monitor and HDMI to my TV and run them both!

Cons: None

Overall Review: HIS is a really good vendor, I don't want to name names but you should always look at a company/support website for a card before you buy it. Finding numerous errors and "email only" support on competitors websites made me love HIS, their website is amazing and has live support.

Great!...most of the time

Pros: This drive is great for the price, it's quiet, cool, fast, and you can get some great utilities off Westerns' website to test it out once it arrives. Real-time HDD monitoring software shows it's performed wonderfully.

Cons: About a month ago it started grinding a while after I booted up, on and off, for a week. Then it stopped. SMART monitoring showed nothing wrong, but boy did I jump because it sounded like a machine gun going off. It's still working great, no bad sectors, so I have no idea.

Overall Review: N/A
