Most Critical Review

Brocken sata data connector on the drive

Western Digital Blue WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Well it's my first WD hard drive. a Hard drive is a hard drive. but I must say that it's quite and cool.

Cons: Western Digital have problems with their sata power connector on the drive. This is my 2nd one and have exactlly the same problem. It came from newegg with a brocken sata power connector. Apparentlly WD have an issue with this and came up with the power connector adapter which is included in some of their drives. I had to use some indutrial standard adhesive to hold the sata power cable in place to make sure it doesnt wiggle.

Overall Review: Just be carefull not to break the power connector when plugging in or removing the cable. If you do break it and dont want to do RMA shipment and restocking fees, just use a good adhesive to hold it inplace, watch out not to touch any pins.

avoid this drive

Pros: Large 3TB

Cons: If you want to lose your data then get this drive. Purchase this drive (not from newegg) 2 months ago and it just wouldn't show up on my computer. Tried 3 different computers, same problem. Tried to connect it through USB in a USB enclosure still nothing. Lost all my data that I saved for years for my business. Shame on WD for making such a drive.

Egg-Se-Lent M/B (You will love it...)

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I only had it for one week so here you go... built 1000s of PCs, and this M/B is the best ever. lots of gooddies. nice MIC touch. quite MB without a fan on top of the N.bridge. Manual is exremelly usefull very easy built with this MB system worked fine with first run. plenty of softwares... comes with vista drives too on seperate cd...cool no coplaints except see below...

Cons: Only 1 con: Comes with only ONE IDE connector on MB. IDE connector location very far.

Overall Review: If you are not using any IDE drives, then MB is a must. IF YOU ARE USING IDE DRIVES THEN I ADVICE ALL TO GET A LOOOONGER IDE CABLE FOR THIS MB (MAYBE 36") I was going to give it 4.5 stars but newegg doesnot have that feature, so I give it 5 boiled eggs. :-)

Pros: excellent all over. looks and performance

Cons: only 1 sata connector need to get adapters now. no probs so far. fan really slow at low speed, auto never seems to go any higher. high speed switch really noisy fan.

Overall Review: I would defenitlly buy another one if i build more pcs.
