Pros: I replaced a disappointing 8600GT with this card and I have been blown away by the performance difference and by how much quieter this card is. Runs great in a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop with the standard PSU. Was a little rough fitting it into the mini tower, but it's working great.

Cons: None.

Fantastic performance

Pros: I installed this to replace the stock 5,400 rpm drive in my aluminum unibody MacBook Pro. It is fantastic for holding tons of files and I noticed a big jump in VM performance. It also speeds up Target Disk Mode quite a bit.

Cons: The only cons I can think of is that it runs slightly warmer and drains my laptop battery a bit quicker. Well worth the tradeoffs though.

Comments: purchased to replace stock 12GB drive in an old PowerBook G3 firewire. works flawlessly and newegg pricing and shipping rocked as always.
