Very satisfied with this drive.

Pros: Perfect complement to the 37 GB Raptor I use up front for my Windows XP 32-bit system drive (C: D: E:). Caviar Black holds my paging drive and data archives (F: G: H:).
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Used HD Tune to test Caviar Black against my Raptor. Raptor Avg. Transfer Rate: 72.1 MB/Sec Access Time: 8.1 ms Burst Rate: 115.3 MB/Sec Operating Temp: 107 degrees F Caviar Black Avg. Transfer Rate: 72.7 MB/Sec Access Time: 12.5 ms Burst Rate: 146.8 MB/Sec Operating Temp: 87 degrees F
3.5 CFM!!!

Pros: Looks pretty neat.
Cons: It only moves 3.5 CFM. It will not even cool my Geforce2 Ti.
Overall Review: Unless you have a load of fans in your case, forget it!
Excellent unit!

Pros: This HX850 has been in my mid-tower case for more than two years. I have opened the PS and cleaned it twice. It has performed flawessly. Asus WS Evolution P5E Core 2 Duo @ 3.2 8800GT Caviar Black (2) DVD R/W (1) Case and CPU fans (5)
Cons: None
Overall Review: My next unit will be completely modular, including mainboard supply cable. Easier to install.
Crybabies Below

Pros: Contrary to the nay-sayers below, I have had no problem at all with this product. I think they don't know what they don't know; and it is difficult for many to accept that.
Cons: None!
Overall Review: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: Corsair 750HX P.S. E8500 Intel CPU @ 3.21GHz 3GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 @ XMP setting XFX 8800GT Intel Ethernet Card (I never use the onboard LANs.)
Oh, yeah!

Pros: XMP works without a hitch.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I had 2x1GB but wanted the extra 1GB while still running Windows XP Professional 32-bit. No problems with manual or XMP setting. Solid! SYSTEM Asus P5E Evolution Intel E8500 Corsair 750W Modular XFX 8800 GT
Best!

Pros: Needed only one of the modular cables for my three drives, plus one for the video card. Nice! No internal mess.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Lost my former Corsair power supply to a power outage/surge or extreme ambient heat; not certain which. It lasted a while, but began to flake out. I had it for several years without a problem. Went immediately for this new part of the Corsair modular product line. No problems at all. Corsair, you really need not include the velvet bag. Nice touch, but your power supplies speak for themselves.
