great Drive
Pros: It's a Western Digital, good size for the old hpze4600 I put this one in.
Cons: Have not found any.
Overall Review: I know this is not a very helpful review, but I would recommend this drive if you need a replacement for a laptop.
Pretty good
Pros: Clear QAM, remote control.
Cons: Software isn't the greatest.
Overall Review: Push hard when connecting the IR sensor to the card if your remote isn't working. Wintv kept crashing while searching for channels in a fresh install of Vista 64bit until I upgraded to SP2, now it's working just as well as in XP SP2. Maybe it's just me but WinTV 7 seems to run a bit better in Windows 7.
Nice
Pros: No crashes due to hardware failure. The awesome list of features on this thing.
Cons: SATA ports may be a little hard to get at in some cases.
Fast
Pros: Fast, stable, nice temps.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Used the stock heatsink/fan/thermal compound that came with it and idle temps are right around 40C +/- 2 degrees, I haven't seen it reach 50C yet with any tasks I throw at it.
Nice
Pros: Great drive, Great price.
Cons: The tray seems to stick a little when ejecting, perhaps with more use it will eject smoother.
Nice
Pros: Cheap, reliable, plenty of space for my needs.
Cons: As a primary drive Windows Experience Index is only 5.9, my only component rated under 7.2 in Windows 7. Really not an issue for me.
