Pros: inexpensive for a TB drive, super storage density, low power consumption which allows for amazingly low operating temperature

Cons: some performance is sacrificed for efficiency

Overall Review: This drive runs 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than any of my other hard drives, which will probably do wonders for its lifespan.

Pros: Works great on my DVD burner, works on my 80GB Maxtor hard drive, high speed transfers

Cons: locks up the computer when I write data to my 200GB Maxtor hard drive - an issue with drive capacity? For awhile I thought my drive was going bad, but I removed the adapter and it works just fine

Overall Review: Great when it works, but it has issues with some drives

Pros: Fast card, excellent support, nice warranty. Great performance for the price, especially considering the 6850's overclocking capability.

Cons: I had to register on the XFX website before I could download the driver (but it's exactly the same as the stock AMD driver.) No complaints about this video card though.

Overall Review: This is a followup review to the last one titled "Fast". I had a problem in BF:BC2, and XFX support responded quickly and seems to know what they're doing. It turned out to be a punkbuster conflict with MSI Afterburner, which is really not a fault of this card or XFX at all. Now that I don't run Afterburner, I don't have any problems. It would be nice if XFX could make their own monitoring or overclocking utility...

Pros: This card replaced a GTS250, and I like the performance boost.

Cons: The GTS250 I replaced had problems constantly flashing a black screen in Battlefield Bad Company 2, and now with this card my computer locks up after I've been playing for 15-30 minutes.

Overall Review: Now I get to test out XFX's support. I have high hopes; we'll see. If they resolve my issue quickly I'll give it 5 stars.

Pros: Very fast, reasonably large as far as SSDs go. Doesn't consume much power or increase the temperature in my computer.

Cons: Still expensive, has some limitations on its life time, requires sector alignment and trim support for optimum operation (e.g. windows 7), the garbage collector takes awhile to do its thing if you write to your SSD a lot. Of course, these are all limitations of any current MLC SSD and many don't even have a garbage collecting routine.

Overall Review: I have this set up as my boot drive, with a pair of old 250 GB sata drives in raid 0 for my program files and paging file. I could have gotten away with a smaller SSD, but I like the option of installing my most commonly used programs onto the SSD. This setup runs very well, it is quite snappy and whatever is installed on the SSD will of course load very fast.

Pros: Easy install, has headers for plugging in all your power and LED plugs before plugging into the motherboard Out-of-the-box support for Phenom II X6 processors Feature-packed BIOS Lots of SATA and USB

Cons: The internal SATA channels do not detect my Samsung 2tb hard drive most of the time, however the ESATA channel detects it fine... not sure about that one, probably a BIOS or driver issue... This is the only major con for me. (All other drives - an OCZ Vertex 2 as well as a pair of old Seagate 320gb drives and a WD 1 TB drive - work fine) The front of the motherboard is not well supported in the case so it flexes especially when plugging in the main power connector (no screw holes under it - it is between the 2nd and 3rd sets) The second x16 slot is really 4x, so crossfire is out (not really a con for me, just saying) No second gigabit connection or wifi like my last Asus motherboard had (not that I used them all that much, they were just nice to have)

Overall Review: This motherboard is awesome! This is the best performance I have ever seen from any computer, and installation was mostly painless (well, except for the sharp edges of my cheap case!) I can max out every game I have tried so far, and my CAD rendering is very fast. system specs: Windows 7, OCZ Vertex 2 120gb, Phenom II X6 1055T, NVidia GTS 250 1GB, 8gb G.Skill 1333 DDR3
