Pros: Plenty of connectors, cables are lon enough to reach all through my case,not as loud as i had been led to believe.

Cons: Not exceptionally nice apearance (not really much of a con), but for the price who cares. Some of the connectors are a little on the loose side but make good contact right now, probably won't withstand many case swaps.

Pros: 24hr pros that try to help you has been the only plus. Otherwise NONE!!! 1st board junk, bad VRM according to mfg call in to try to get the second one to work, gave error code FF from the first press of the power button. Second board JUNK..... error 10 and boot loop party. At least the second would let me into the bios after CMOS reset.

Cons: These boards are junk, 2 in a row that won't work, if you get one that will work just pray it will stay that way. Odds are you will get one that will not work.

Overall Review: Takes 2 weeks to get from start of RMA to get the second. Then you get to start over.... another two weeks to wait on another, should have just sent it back to the egg. FIRST, LAST, and ONLY EVGA product I will ever try.

Pros: Quieter than the LG it replaced. Good price for a retail version. So far no coasters.

Cons: Included software is pretty useless, I purchased this because the picture on the box shows Nero but it is no longer packaged with it. No SATA cable but I new that from the pics and other reviews.

Overall Review: I have an oe version of this drive in the old ladies rig and it has performed very well having produced only a few coasters. It can be a bit noisy but at least it doesn't sound like hovercraft all the time like the LG did. Was hoping that I would get one with Nero in the box so I could put off buying a better program for a bit longer.

Pros: Long cables reach everything inside my antec 900 case. plenty of hookups for all the gear stuffed inside. Not as noisey as i expected but with all the other fans it is kinda hard to tell.

Cons: Connectors seem a little bit loose, but still make sufficient connection.

Overall Review: If you have a LARGE case and need the cable length this is just the ticket for the money. My system DFI CFX3200, OPTY 165, 2 74 GIG Raptors in raid 0, 2 250 gig segates, samsung dvd rw, 1 gig crucial balitix tracers.
