Pros: I installed this card in my HTPC and it worked great with my receiver. I have not had any sound defects with this card since I have owned it.

Cons: Drivers have given me a headache when I first installed it and later on it just stopped detecting it. All it took was reseating the card, so I think that was due to the motherboard and not this card.

Overall Review: I definately suggest this card if you are building an HTPC. It has all of the outputs you should need, and does not have any sound defects like my Audigy 2 ZS has.

Pros: Easy to install and they are just as fast as the Raptors I also have in the same system.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I am planning on buying more of these drives to create a larger RAID array.

Comments: I replaced a WD 120Gb Special edition hd with the 36Gb Raptor, and wow the performace boost was more than expected. For me, the windows install from after the files had copied and rebooted to rebooting after saving settings only took a little under 8 min! The only other times Ive seen that kind of speed is with SCSI drives in a server class machine. As always, New Egg delivers the best online service I have ever come across.
