Long life,

Pros: 5 year warranty expired in 2012, lasted another 4 years beyond that. Longest lasting drive I've ever had.
Cons: Failed suddenly, albeit after 9 years.
Overall Review: Would buy again, if SSDs weren't so much better than HDDs
Worked great until AsusUpdate failed

Pros: Worked perfectly for 4 years.
Cons: Updating BIOS is dicey.
Overall Review: HD issues lead me to try to update the BIOS using the AsusUpdate windows software from the Asus support site. Failed on flashing, and bricked the whole mess. Now the system just powers up fans and shuts down over and over. DO NOT TRY TO UPDATE THE BIOS USING ASUSUPDATE!! If I hadn't been so lazy and done it with a floppy it'd probably still be running :/
No flaws

Pros: Free!
Cons: I can think of nothing bad to say about this product*
Overall Review: *Opinion may change whenever I actually get it. gg coupon code for unreleased game.
Firmware update failed-RMA process broken?

Pros: Fast while I had it. Tech support was helpful and responsive up until the RMA process.
Cons: Didn't play nice with SMART. Ubuntu Natty Narwhal spammed SMART related errors. Failed firmware update using Patriot's windows firmware updating software.
Overall Review: RMA-ed over a week ago. Emailed for a status update exactly 1 week ago. No response. Baffling but it appears as though they are pretending I sent nothing, or at the very least are pretending I, and my drive, don't exist.
