Pros: Load command set gives this raid card the edge for me.

Cons: don't like the sata connection layout

Overall Review: another reviewer here at Newegg, David C. has made this card the perfect raid card for my system, as it is being used as a secondary raid-10 support unit. The load command that he indicated, will eliminate the bios load of the card, which works perfect for my hardware setup and speeds up loading of the overall system.

Pros: it's small

Cons: Overheats, creating reboots on the order of 2-3 / hr. My unit also has some bad NAND and only registers 3GB. I am pretty sure it was a return, because it had quite a few installed Chinese aps on it. I installed the newest firmware and it has become more stable. It was not a good purchase, due to all the issues with heat and NAND.

Overall Review: It's just not thermally stable, Since I don't want to deal with returning it, I will hack it and resolve the thermal issue.

Pros: It had everything you could want back in 2009

Cons: It only lasted just under 5 years, Sata ports flipped out, rendering it useless.

Overall Review: It was an expensive board for an AMD platform back in 2009. The sata ports on AMD went haywire and crashed several hard drives when it decided to die. No more Gigabyte boards for me. On average they last 3-5 years at best.

Pros: No heat. Moderately Priced!. I striped 4 of them and achieved crazy performance on SB750 ie.. Random read/write @ 720MB/196MB/sec. 160GB with crazy performance for less than an 160GB single drive.

Cons: If you do raid you will have to dissemble it later for trim process. That is going to change in later firmware release hopefully.

Overall Review: Make sure you align the drive or stripe depending on your configuration. Create the array @128K. Use windows V or 7 install disk to partition. Use Acronis to image system to array but don't bring MBR. Don't bother to stripe them on Gsata it is only a x1 buss and will bottleneck your drives if Raid applied. I am running XPPro SP3 and very happy.

Pros: 4 cores CHEAP!

Cons: Failed Cache in Prime95 & Everest Ultimate Better Test and torture your system to be sure.

Overall Review: Newegg is great, ask for shipping expenses. I forgot on this one.

Pros: fast but on the warm side

Cons: none

Overall Review: put some air on them.

Unit reboots itself, due to what I think is a thermal problem. Maybe better to go with a box type unit for this processor, due to poor cooling in this form factor.

Steer clear of this vendor. ZERO Communication skills, no follow-up on your purchase. They will just take your money. SHAME on Newegg to allow them in the marketplace. What has happened to Newegg?, once a great company, now just another ripoff. I'm still waiting 7 days later on a request for help.
